    Is that what you hear? We've seen at least 2 reviews well before release and who knows how many are "free" out there.

    Nah, it just means that the backpack and feet will be properly QC-ed ;)  I still remember arguing with one guy about 2 months ago about those darn feet. He kept saying that the feet were mistransformed even after official photograph from TT. We have several reviews now, and voila, no mistransformation. They are what they are.

    I am worried about my hound preorder after MP44, the quality control to be frank is disgraceful.

    Just basing my post on the online retailers updates. If it was delayed pre retail( before retailer solicitations) then that would have been a tentative release date. Happens all the time. BWMegs already had a retailer release and was moved later on. That I can confirm from amiami.

    Oh well, the figure is trash anyways. Ugly ass design and his alt mode completely ruins the whole G1 MP Line aesthetically.

    Nothing officially stated yet, but it's likely with Bumblebee being pushed back the only thing MP-46 related that will make it out in time to be under the Christmas tree will be an I.O.U. from TakaraTomy.

    Which means Hound is certainly not going to be in your hands ringing in the New Year, either.

    So are we pessimistically expecting MP46 and MP47 to also be delayed?
    If I remember correctly, MP45 was an end of September release. So that delays him by 2 months.

    Do we know of any QC issues with MP46?
    I seem to recall there was an issue earlier this year with MP47. I haven't read anything about anymore issues though.

    Maybe it's just MP45?

    It’s really just the farthest reaches of speculation at this point. All we know is Bee has been delayed 2 months. There’s no reason to expect Hound or BA to be late too; Prime and Bluestreak were right on time in case anyone forgot.

    I wonder if this is so TT can cash-in on the added 2% tax, coming into effect in the coming months?

    Not always. If they collected it when they weren't supposed to and "forgot" to refund it...

    Here’s a real question about MP-44’s QC. How many people here that have not done the knee fix also have not experienced any problems? I move his knees freely and probably have posed this guy a minimum of 10 times a day since released. The only precaution I’ve taken is making sure the leg is fully transformed and everything in the upper shin/knee area is locked in correctly. Those knees are a funny fragile looking area during transformation. Clearly not meant to be moved until completely assembled. Maybe this is the problem, maybe I’ve just been lucky? I dunno!
