    Think of MP10 as part of the MP evolution history. I still have my MP1 just to keep it as nostalgia.

    So it's not what you're asking for but if the seller won't help you, I'd file a PayPal claim (assuming you bought it thing PayPal), return it, and buy a new one from someone else.

    I live in France, and it is just weird, the tracking says it’s delivered in my postbox. But there is another event in the tracking saying it is still being processed somewhere in France. My post woman had nothing for me yesterday or this morning so I don’t really understand how this happened. I will just wait for like a week to see if there are any other tracking events and then I will see what @oku can do. The other weird ting is I paid for DHL but it got sent through a slow normal postal service. Everything about getting the second head for my V1 seems like a nightmare...

    I somehow managed to bend the tips of the head antennas transforming this guy into truck mode. I have no clue how I did it either as they were bent before I finished the transformation and locked the head in place. Any tips on how to bend this plastic back? Thankfully you can swap antenna's with the other head but I'm worried I'll somehow bend those too.

    I dont have any idea man,it is just an oral plan by them.

    We are now using artifact figure as label names to send transformer toys. Now only control on things with toy label for certificates. Chinese sellers are all aware of that I guess.

    Not mine creation dude,I think they just drawed something on the tissue and simply put it in the chest.

    I was originally planning to do MP-44. Yeah, the price sucks but he is miles better than MP-10 aesthetically. Then this thing hit. Then they improved the head. So I have this guy on the way and likely won’t be going in for MP-44. We will see. I rarely pass on Takara MPs.

    Got the chest stripes and forearm details cut this morning and I'm loving what they do to enhance this already awesome figure!

    Hmm.. Would it be difficult to have a cutout done that creates a vinyl sticker of silver that's just big enough to fit around the windows? A thin box like Sticker. Don't know if it's possible, but if that was also done, you would pretty much have created a full decked-out set for this guy that didn't require painting, which even without those, I must admit all of this is very very tempting indeed! Can't wait to see what those vents look like on the TE01 mold.

    The most appealing thing about your work is that the set can be removed, leaving a bot that can still be returned to normal. If of course you're ready to remediate that glue from the plastic, without damaging it. Good news is there are plenty of great techniques.
