Transformers and More @ The Seibertron Store

Here is the original link that shows how the leg of mp36 Megatron got broken.
It is said that we should loosen the screw in thigh a bit to avoid it. But, which screws are these?
Open the two black flaps over his butt to expose a screw, give it about a 1/4 turn to loosen. Legs will transform fine then.
Thanks. Would this help to pull down the legs easily during transformation to gun?
Yep, that's exactly what loosening that screw will affect. (the hips coming down)

Doubt the vendor will considering this happens during transformation. Anyone contacted Takara yet? I'm currently working in my brain how repairs can be made should this happen to my fig. Perhaps those more talented than I can begin creating 3d printed replacement parts a-la Shapeways. I only paid $167 USD for mine (with shipping), but I still feel it is WAY overpriced considering the QC issues. $230 is friggin highway robbery.

MP 10 and Wheeljack are a blast to play with and are as durable as any other TF figure.

agreed. most of my mp figures post mp10 have been quite playable. soundwave being the exception. im so worried about breaking his legs, and lazerbeak and ravage both broke immediately out of the package

There are atandarfs to maintain.

I would've waited an eternity for this [display]...

My budget's already tight enough as-is, and I really don't want to put all of my Masterpiece savings into something that is susecptible to breakage. Is there any alternative Decepticons people can recommend? Shockwave looks really cool. I've also been debating on picking up Ultra Magnus, as he's one of my favorite Autobots.

Shockwave and Ultra Magnus are both very solid figures, literally and figuratively. Neither of them have any "Oh my god how did they engineer THAT" moments like some other entries in the line but they both get the job done perfectly well. I love the two but some other people have raised some small complaints: UM's trailer doesn't turn into a smaller white Optimus Prime (instead it integrates into the transformation, to the extent that you don't need to partsform anything during his transformation) and SW is a paler shade of purple than some people expected and the logo on his chest is a (owner-applied) sticker rather than a tampograph.
