    Wow these guys are great bots, I love them.

    I'm mainly a toon style fan, but these are fun to transform and beautifull to look at.

    I would welcome this style for any future releases especially at the price point that they are.

    Does it though? I can't get mine to and I've seen no photos of it sitting flush either.

    The hood sits flush, the right? side door I think has a small gap, something isnt properly aligned and tabbing it in the slot creates a small gap

    Ok well there's something wrong with my hood sadly. The peg goes into the hole but it won't stay down, something makes it sit slightly ajar... It's triggers my OCD a bit.

    Mine was £66.89 from HLJ including the delivery charge. It hasn’t arrived yet, so there is a chance it might get hit by tax, but this year I’ve had a few imports from Japanese shops with no tax added.

    That was with the cheapest rate (air packet ) delivery. Base price without delivery is £58.45.

    Any chance of a quick photo of that?
    On mine, if there were no gap, the bonnet would be lower than the side panels.
    (My front on comparison pic with XTB Herald a few posts back shows the bonnet exactly aligned with the side panels, with a 1/2mm gap between bonnet and grill)

    May have handed it to your local usps. They do that alot with my AJP orders. Usually get it in a day or two. YMMV.

    Maybe. They reported that they delivered it to my front door. So that would be weird.

    Probably because of his wide chest and those shoulder bits sticking out. Had they thickened the forearms a little bit, I think he would look perfect.

    Got him today and just transformed him. If MP toys had stayed this style and price, I’d be still buying them… I love him! Not overly complex and with the exception of thin arms, the only quibble I have is that he comes with three weapons and can’t attach all three at the same time. I end up storing the one split apart inside his legs and the moto in his backpack.

    Is that broken human the same as the MP-45 Bumblebee Spike? My Spike broke at the same place, leaving the ball in the socket. Fortunately I was able to remake that ball-socket joint but, with clear plastic, it looks like you will just have to superglue it together.

    Anyone find any storage for one of his weapons since he can only hold two at a time?
