I basically stole a MINT G1 MIB Optimus Prime. I had it for one day and stored it in my closet. I looked at it again the next day and the flap was somehow bent up. Someone had to come in my closet and screw around with him.

So pissed. I'd post pictures but I don't wanna even look at it right now. I know for a fact it was mint when I got him this past Saturday. This guy keeps him for 22 years and he is mint. I have him for 24 hours and the flap gets bent.

Another reason to NOT collect MISB and MIB.

Do you have roommates, siblings, etc? Who could've got in your closet and damaged it? A pet, perhaps?

my parents live downstairs along with my grandmother. they are known to be nosey also. i've asked them already but of course no one touched it they said. i know the flap didn't just bend itself.

How can you tell if it is an original or the knock off that's going around? What country did the figure come from?

Congratulations! I'd love to add an original Megatron and Optimus Prime to my collection. The reissues are great, but there's nothing like a tried and true original from 1984!
