    Future and nail polish still does not work. That piece is simply too flawed.

    True, but ultimately still worth it

    Magnus arrived today. For the most part, hes really great, but not without some minor flaws.
    The roof of the cab doesn't sit completely flush in Alt. mode.
    And the blue missile platforms...the tabs don't grip well in Alt. mode.
    Minor issues and nowhere near enough to spoil the figure!!
    Is there an aftermarket set to cover the blank space in the top of the trailer??
    Also...why is the bumper red?!?

    Wow you got him pretty quick!

    This guy is on my "GET NOW" list, now that I finally have a good spot to display my Magnuses ( :inquisiti  Magni? 'Mags? Maggies? :confused2 ). So I am wondering; Are you located in the US? Just curious as to your buying/shipping experience with this figure/seller.

    Also, the front bumper is red because this is how he's depicted in the Return of Optimus Prime...

    Not sure about the leg gap cover but I have heard of others making their own...

    Congrats on the Pickup!

    I am in the U.S. I ordered on the 6th recieved on the 23rd. Pretty fast shipping, from China. My experience, was excellent. Good communication and the package / figure arrived in good shape.

    Thanks for the review. Looks like I'm going to have to pull the trigger on this one.

    I know I'm late to the party but after a few YouTube reviews coupled with the new gun and fixed butt flap, it also an easy buy at $75. Now all I need is a decent Arcee and Scourge and I'll have the all the movie characters.

    Where have you found this for $75??? The best I can find on eBay is $89.99 from different Chinese sellers...

    I need it. I'll get one, and probably sooner than later. Just wish I would have moved on this when I originally wanted to: last year. I just got caught up in Domain Base display kits and basically everything Magic Square and IronFactory were doing, lol.

    My Dynastron had a floppy right arm, but was ok other than that. My Tape Corps set was a floppy mess. Hyper Magnum and Sonic Wave were both perfect and extremely nice for the prices I paid
