    If anyone is in dire need of an MP Thrust and can't find one for under $100 shipped,
    Masterpiece MP-11NT Thrust on sale at BBTS for $75 plus shipping.
    Transformers Masterpiece MP-11NT Thrust

    It's a step down in qc compared to the better quality Yes Model version but it is on sale.

    BBTS is practically giving him away. Even so, I am sticking with the YES model.

    I don't blame you.
    MISB too. To think some folks paid nearly $200 shipped to get these MISB 2 or 3 years ago.

    I wonder if the other two are at $75 now.

    its a fair price imo, especially as hard as they are to get these days.

    im just gathering extra funds together to upgrade an editing rig for my son who wants to be a youtuber. dont feel like paying straight out of my pocket when i got bots i can go without.

    my hp z400 rig is still capable now, but i need more juice. running a 6 core 12 thread w3690 but i want to either go hp z600 dual 5680-90s, maybe a hpz 420 and a 1660v2 or upgrade to a hp z440 and a better single chip like a 1650v3 or 4 with that ddr4. trying to stay in a p2p range so i just dont end up building a ryzen. that hp z enterprise stuff is built to last. hp zxxx fan boi here... not as bad as FT fan bois, but close

    you are correct.. great price.. but at the same time, im pricing to sell. i dont need every cent, i could ask for more, but im not that guy....even thoughg its baiscally new, im selling its used with depreciation like a 02 corolla .. i just want enough so when i drop 5-600 on hardware i dont feel guilty

    reduced its to 89.99 AUD. bought a dual cpu xeon rig.. so i know where i need to be to break even on the deal.

    damn even at 89.99 no one wants to bite during the holiday season... so 79.99 AUD it goes... if it doesnt sell in 1-2 days im keeping it.. f that..

    KBB just seems to be shit in general with the figures. I had a Skywarp from them that was broken at the waist. Eventually got a replacement part and was fine for over year. A few months ago I picked it up and the waist crumbled! Recently re-ordered one... same F'in thing! Yes Model is so much better, but the thing I like about the KBB ones is the waist modification they did with their mold.

    Luckily between the broken KBB figures, I was able to repair Skywarp, as well as reinforce the waist pieces first before reassembling using thin applications of acrylic glue. Now prayers I never need to replace!

    Although I haven't had issues with my Skywarp or Starscream... yet...

    From what I've gathered, when it comes to the original 3 non-conehead seekers from KBB, Starscream has the best quality.

    Finally finished modifying the Takara flight stands to take all my Toyworld coneheads.

    They fit better with the originals now.

    I cut apart the Toyworld adapter and glued it to the Takara stand.
    Works for both jet and robot mode.

    Just got the ko for MP11sw. Took several attempts because I kept running into ebay scammers even though their ratings were good. Finally got a legit one.

    Haven't had a chance to transform it yet cuz I got it at work, but just on first impression it's a vast improvement over MP11. I see some minor paint mess ups and some parts feel a tad loose, but it feels a lot more solid than MP11.

    (And I got it for a cheaper price than MP11... jeez I wish I could have that purchase back.)
