Finally! Got my order in…

 

I was kinda hoping it was a pre-order

 

Pennsylvania Transformers Sightings

Someone found him in store

 

Just coming to post this! Thanks @Pcsolyar
Saw this guy on the shelf at Warrington, PA Target. No tags set/reset not done, but it did ring up on the price checker.
I didn’t try to buy it so no clue if it was buy-able. It was the only one.

 

Has anyone received there's from target

 

I've had him since yesterday. I can't much fault the bot mode, but while I'd hoped as some have claimed, that he's a "good toy" if not a true MP, I haven't been much impressed either, and it's nothing to do with the cat ears.

Not that any of this was unknown to me beforehand, but it's glaringly apparent when in hand: The die-cast metal present is not in the feet, and it's not used in such a way that gives real heft or even improves on the design. The tire clearances are barely there even when properly pegged together, and frankly, the leg separation in the truck bed looks even more ridiculous up close.

Now it's not as if I've tons of MPMs or MPs, but what I have, especially a couple MP Optimus', seem to make this pale in comparison.

It's not that I'd return him though, but the originally cited $110 price seems spot-on at best. That it was bumped up to $125.99 seems unwarranted, and going to third-party sellers for the TT version at the prices they went for now seem laughable to me.

Obviously, he's not making a good impression on me as far as a transformable example at an MP scale. Maybe he'll grow on me, but he'd have to work at it.

 

Mine is supposed to come today

 

I on the other hand, fucking love this guy. I just wish he was compatible with MP-10’s trailer. There’s enough room on the feet to have the slots for both trailers. Also whoever said it sits nicely was wrong, the trailer leans down enough that the two rear wheels are off the ground which looks terrible to me, but the trailer does go well with him visually

 

Like I said, I cannot fault the bot mode. Well, aside from wishing he had a tad more diecast. He does look better with a trailer, though. With the compromises TT had to make, well thought they had to make, I do wonder if an included trailer with a less-than-usual price point for such a set might have made this even more appealing to those who found more fault than I did.

 

I'm happy with him. Nice to have an MPM with an easy transformation. The truck mode locks together very solidly.

 

Woohoo finally placed an order for this last night. Hope the 3p upgrades arwnt gonna take too long lol

 

I'm honestly enjoying the heck out of this figure.

 

i think it shows how big some of the flaws are with the transformation when upgrade kits require replacing large amounts of the figure, on the other hand why dont these companies make their own mpm prime if there going to replace so much of it?

 

Bagged on this figure alot but its solidness stole my heart and its super fun not complicated engineering

 

Got him today, going to need to fiddle with him a bit more to really gauge how I feel about him. So far, enjoyable figure!

 

Got one this morning…it’s…it’s actually pretty good!

as far as mpms go it’s actually fantastic. Solid and fun

 

Decided to paint the gun

 

mine should be here tuesday! for those of you that already have yours, how are his wrists? are they as floppy as some of the youtube videos?

 

mine are somewhere in between. They will fall down if I move the figure around with the gun in his hand, but otherwise they are fine
Tightening the screw on the outside didn’t seem to affect anything tbth.
