I.... :oops: ....I do this too...in fact, I thought I had the issue kicked until you mentioned it, and sure as shoot, went to my MP-10 and forgot it again.... :oops:

I'm glad I ordered the MP figure from Toys R Us but if I had the option between the Takara and Hasbro, I'd choose Takara. I just don't like that bright blue. Maybe I will upgrade my Hasbro to Takara one day but the only real reason to get the Hasbro is the price. I'm tempted to paint the blues darker.

Not exactly.

The Hasbro version is very nice and for the price is what most will choose.

The Takara version is actually more show accurate. G1 Prime really had a dark blue in the show. The colbolt blue on Hasbro prime seems to be the more modern take on his colors.

People are going to get mad at this comment but it's true. Just a matter of what matters to you in an MP figure.

I don't think there's a reason to get mad...
it's all about preference... I like the Hasbro version because I think that blue looks better, the price is good for what you get, and deep down inside we feel that good toys can still be produced by an American company (I know they're made in China) but you know what I mean...! :grin:
