Masterpieces on Amazon, is it risky?

Postby benzo83 » Mon Oct 13, 2014 5:40 pm

Motto: "I'm always ready for a battle."
Hello everyone,
i have recently started a collection of TF masterpiece, original takara tomy, no KO or other counterfeits, I have so far:

    MP-05: Megatron
    MP-08X: King Grimlock
    MP-11: Starscream
    MP-12: Lambor
    MP-12G: Lambor G2 Version
    MP-13: Soundwave
    MP-13B: Soundwave
    MP-14: Alert (Red Alert)
    MP-15: Rumble and Jaguar (Ravage)
    MP-17: Prowl
    MP-18: Streak
    MP-18S Silverstreak
    MP-19: Smokescreen
    MP-20: Wheeljack

and i have a preorder for:
    MP-21: Bumblebee
    MP-22: Ultra Magnus
    MP-23: Exhaust
    MP-24: Star Saber

You know who is missing, and i will search for Hasbro releases for the last.

On amazon and ebay, I found many TF mp missing for my collection, especially on amazon, [japan import], but how do I know if they are genuine or counterfeit? prices are high anyway so I would not throw money.
Do You know some serious seller that imports from Japan? These are some objects on sale on amazon, can you tell me if the purchase is recommended or not? Have you ever bought from these vendors?

This vendor sells MP11S, MP03G, MP09B and MP08 ASIA EXCLUSIVE to which i'm interested and the shipping is with Amazon Prime. Are they originals?

Motto: "'till All Are One"
For the cars (fairlady and lamborghini mold) and the casette tapes, I would never trust online sellers that are not known and established companies like BBTS. The rest have not been KO'd as much and are easy to spot when they are.

As for your missing Prime, I recommend you preorder the asia Hasbro rerelease of MP 10. It will be the best price you will ever find for a long while, I think.

I got MP Streak on Amazon, but it was actually TFsource selling it as an Amazon third-party vendor, so I felt very confident buying it. I've also bought from BBTS via Amazon.

Where are the products shipping from? If they're shipping from Hong Kong or China, I wouldn't trust it.

I will say this, the one time I had a problem with a product from an Amazon seller not being right, Amazon had incredible customer service and after contacting the seller for many days trying to get things made right and having no luck (he refused to acknowledge that the product wasn't what he claimed to be selling), as soon as I contacted Amazon, they had him issuing me a refund right away.

That's one of the nice things about Amazon; they've got so much money, they don't know what to do with it, so if you've got a problem with something you ordered, they don't hesitate to give you a refund or ship you a replacement. They understand that your loyalty is more important than a single transaction.

I purchased streak from a vendor who sold it as "like new, collector owned". I was very lucky as the price was $49.99 and the figure came complete. It has tight joints, good paint apps, and all logos and words show well.

Well, who knows whether the materpieces listed on Amazon are real or conterfiet ones. You cannot completely trust on these products on online sites, therefore it is better to shop for such products from a well known toy stores.

do not get MP-01 or MP-04, they are the same clunky character except one has a trailer.... now if you get mp-10 which is a severe upgrade, you wont be wasting any money, unless that is that you want to own every mold and variation.
