    Paypal refunded me the full amount for my 6/21/18 transaction with raona222.
    Next I called eBay to make sure the 6/21/18 flash sale coupon for $15 off is made available to me again to use anytime. They granted this to me.

    He hasn't replied to the last message I sent about the missing pin, though.

    Nice! I want to do that to mine. Wasn't there also a mod for the waist? Mine can't turn...

    Yes there is

    You can unscrew the waist and sand the polygonal peg a bit till you can turn it but not that loose

    This one

    Then you sand the peg at top corner a bit to smoothen

    Then now you can do this

    That person modded theirs I'm sure, or at the very least it's friction hold. Def not the original intent of that kit

    My MPM-4 is like 85% fine so at least I'm spared from such a harrowing experience.

    But the fact that it's not as heavy as LT-02, and the not particularly glossy red-blue paint when compared to it makes it kinda cheap... when it actually costed double that of the KO.

    Yeah thats funny how the original became the ko side by side

    Though i respect hasbro and takara for doing the engineering but still, thay havent perfected it, they seem to be draft designers for the ko company/3p to polish those and i feel sad about it
