    Excuse the newb, I'll also check the third party forums and youtube for reviews, but it sounds like MMC quality is poor? Last review I think I looked at was for the original Knight Morpher, and it was so-so - know QC issues stick out to me.

    The feeling I've gotten is that MMC's quality has gotten much better since KM Commander, and that the Seekers are excellent figures.

    I don't own any of their figures, but just about every review I've seen goes along with that.

    Well i deliberately left my comment ....... because everyone has had different QC.

    To summarize though yes the initial Knight Morpher Commander had questionable quality. It got better with their second run. With their Cyclops release it was pretty good quality but the figure itself was complex and large which made it somewhat fragile.

    The new seekers are good and solid but still a little fragile due to the sharp wings.

    At this point though, MMC is definitely proven. However Unique Toys is not.

    I just wanted to say wow hasbrotoyshop.com is awesome. My expected delivery date was Dec 25-28 for the free shipping promotion and it came today. About 5 days of shipping instead of the 10 I was expecting.

    Unfortunately the PRiD Arcee I finally gave in and ordered, because I couldnt find it locally, came with the card bent and damaged. Fortunately the figure looks fine. The cards not crazy damaged but Im keeping the cards for my daughter to read and collect as she gets a bit older. So anyway, I call them up and explain and they just say "alright Im sending a replacement out with express shipping, you wanted it before Xmas right?"

    So kudos to hasbrotoyshop. I asked about returning the damaged one and they said keep the extra figure. So I know where its going soon.

    Oddly enough the PRiD Sgt Kup I also got wasnt the one with the DVD. Now I have a Rumble with a DVD. My OCD is itching at me because I wanted all the cards to not mention a DVD but thought Kup and Rumble were only available with DVDs. :/ So now to find a DVDless Rumble at TJ Maxx lol.

    ^Im actually surprised they did anything about the damaged card. HTS is notorious for either cramming stuff into a box, bending it all up, or not providing any padding. I have gotten some bad ones from them (and TRU).

    Welp maybe I got lucky as far as the customer service rep goes. Admittedly they just stacked the 2 figures in the box, pushed them against one side and put some paper on the other side. Thats why the card was so bent. They didnt even interlock them bubble to bubble by putting one upside down. Definitely not BBTS packing.

    I was impressed that they just shipped another one without receiving the damaged one first. That never happens to me. Just had to do that with BBTS and Im waiting for the replacement.

    Speaking of MP-14, I'm surprised we haven't heard from Siu Wai about that one yet.

    I'm surprised too, but although I want him before christmas I really shouldn't be buying more toys until after the holiday.

    Also, got a package from BBTS yesterday, was like huh?? I didn't order anything from them. Then as I was about to open it the fiancee walked into the living room and was like "don't open that!! It's your Christmas present." Now its wrapped under the tree and I'm insanely curious.

    pls pm me whats the pricing and other goodies in stock!! i want to make another trip down there!

    hmmmm. i'll look into those. my buddy got a jazz and it was kinda plain. but after he painted some accents it looked decent. yah, i was looking for the headrobots upgrade but no such luck here. it's the third party addons that's drawing me towards these figures. i should really stop reading up on this stuff. my wallet cries out in pain everytime i open it up.

    yah, the foc game looks sweet, the head molds look pretty good but the vehicles aren't really peaking my interest.

    maybe let me know the pricing. i think canadian stuff is more expensive?
