    MPM Megatron just showed up at TRU but he’s $230 and I don’t have that kinda dough right now :( 

    It’s killing me knowing he’s just sitting there and I can’t have him :mad:

    @Lukelbs does your copy of MPM-8 have loose hips? I can’t get mine to stand straight up and the hips ratchets are misaligned from one another, wondering if this is a common issue.

    This guy is freakin' HUGE!!

    I don't know how up explain the hip situation. To me I think the lack of die cast in his lower legs and all of it on his upper body make him very top heavy in comparison to the other MPM figures. Though the spacing in ratchets in the hips is a bit odd as well.
    Still he looks amazing!

    So remember how in the movie Megatron held his arms at a weird angle? Yeah, this toy is definitely designed to have that be its neutral pose:

    Has there been any rumours on MPM Starscream lately? Haven't heard much, but still anticipating a release at some point. Thanks!
