    I usually cycle through the clips a few times a week on my way out of the office. I love it the way it is but If XTB was smart (I know), they would have offered two tiers just like trims on a car. Fully loaded or base model.

    I just found Dr. Egg junior here.
    Of course it doesn't have remote control, no sound, no rotation, but at least it's also much cheaper, right?

    Actually it will be a good display piece for Zeta Cell or HasLab Unicron. ;)

    What is the actual battery you need for this to work and not blow up?
    I will look for it here. But an updated link and description would be cool since Im sure a bunch of us just got it with the recent TFSource sale.

    I used these:

    Ebay

    Amazon

    The battery fits perfectly and the charger works great.

    Thank you, sir. @imest
    I also so some people link to some at walmart from page 127.

    What does the remote use for batteries?
    I haven't seen much talk about that.

    F2F3C0F9-7C7C-41BA-BDB3-2C3525CBB7E0.jpeg So Taobao prices finally got me to pick this up, I can finally have an official opinion!

    The materials and heft are good, the paint is nicely applied and looks great, but man it feels like jangly box of cats. 2 or 3 faces attach clean and tight but the others just dangle off it.

    Maybe it’s just my copy but the top dome feels broken like it’s not attached properly so it always wobbles. I have no interest in the electronics and I’m gonna paint the eyes so I’m not worried about that working.

    Last thing is just the amount of die cast in the egg vs the lightness of the base. Just feels
    like they didn’t optimize it. I like the heft, but if it was a touch lighter it wouldn’t be so uncomfortably top heavy.

    Overall, for me it works great because I just need it looking pretty on a shelf but it feels worse than it looks.

    Hmm, looks like he's out of stock now

    But this place still has 2 for about $139 CAD/$110 US and seems to have a good rep:

    Thanks for sharing.
    I found the listing for more XTB MX-18 Dr. Egg.
    Your prices are pretty good though.

    I painted the eyes and I like it much better now. The only problem was I couldn't get the orange guy’s eyes out so I painted it on the spot and it’s messier than the others.

    I think it was about $120US for the item and $55 to ship SAL but that was with a bunch of other stuff, some legends figures, Unicron wings, and a book. So it’d be less to ship on its own but I’m not sure how much

    After a bit of an adventure receiving the Egg (post office refused to deliver it), I finally picked it up and upon pulling off the stand to insert batteries the wire from the stand detached from the body and I can’t tell where to re-attach it. Any guidance?

    You might wanna check YT for that... there's a video on how to reattach. Maybe use the search tool on this thread to find it.
