    Well, one of my packages says it’s tracked and Amazon screwed up the other tracking number as it was written wrong. But if I can get at least one, I’m good. I’ll be off work at 5pm, so I don’t be home maybe until 7:30pm to play with it. No rush though as I placed this order back in July last year. So a few more hours is on for me

    at least one early review calls the figure garbage with terrible instructions & easily prone to stress marks.

    Got mine today in malaysia.... that's fast straight from my supplier.

    Wow this thing blows me away..... no QC issues at all.... so much fun to play with. Worth every penny judging by how much Hot Toys are going these days and this thing is hot toys level stuff.

    Pictures/video please! It’d also be great to get your input on the transformation and purported stress damage issue. Thank you.

    It’s the same person who first bitched about the figure. False alarm

    Yeah.... haven't tested the sound and lights though need to get some cells.

    Transformation was clever especially the chest, it may seem loose at first but when everything is compress nicely it locks great. Some dose of diecast all over the figure too, most noticeable at the heals.

    On stress marks I transform him once none so far. Other than the flaps at the Back I see no reason to cause any stress mark during transformation. Transformation is so intuitive.

    I don't know about social media, but you kind of have to take for right now what is an outlier, with a grain of salt. After watching BSF break a figure during a review, while swearing he was in his view " being gentle", people have to realize we all aren't equally competent when it comes to transforming stuff. We have no idea if this is a trend, dude got a lemon, or he's really BSF. :D

    I can't stand watching BSF videos. His man-handling of his toys makes me cringe.

    I think he's kind of representative of this board honestly, which is why he has a following on it.

    It's too early to know if there is widespread qc and if the sky has fallen just yet. It literally just came out and it hasn't even been a week. Some of us(me) will thoroughly inspect this toy when we get it to point out what to watch out for. So far this really doesn't seem like a replication of the situation with MPM04/06.

    As far as the KO justifications and whatever, let's keep those in the appropriate threads elsewhere, this thread should stay focused on MP 43 Megatron. KO coming? Make a thread or post in the 3P forum. Keep links of that the hell out of this thread.

    I’ll be thoroughly inspecting mine when it comes and posting anything that I may even think is an issue. I’m sure I’ll be handling this figure for quite a while.

    They roll around inside the eye socket. The iris is slightly recessed, so you can use that as a handle of sorts.
