From what I hear that MP Rodimus is crazy fragile.

I remember the transformation being annoying, and that I could see potential issues, but I really didn't take a hard look until Carry and Hot Rodimus were announced. And today, just totally sad that he officially broke.

Awe Cram! Sorry about your Rowdy Roddy Pooper. That is a bummer wrapped in a turd with too bad sprinkles on top. Why dey make dat toy so fragile?

I guess the good news is that MP Hot Rod comes out next month.

If anything this is a reason to order Carry or the trailer for Rodimus :-D

Carry IS super cool looking, and right up your alley.
What trailer are you talking about? Is there already a 3P trailer for the new Hot Rod?

A few places have the MP09 trailer by itself. Not sure how it'll match, but if I ever want to do alt mode it'll be better than no canopy!

Carry looks awesome. Just not sure I want to spend upwards of $150 on anything that isn't Reximus Prime or Ultra Magnus..

3rd Party stuff REALLY has a hard time getting my money. I was super amped for Apollyon so I got him and had a few problems (and still think he's not as good as he could be). I had Carry pre-paid, but cancelled and got MP Wheeljack and MP Sideswipe.

Found one in the US on eBay (Carry) for $150 shipped, but it probably wouldn't be easy to get parts if something was messed up.

*sigh*

Just read page 1 and the last of "Seibertron: Civil War". Pretty funny stuff.

Dude, if Ultra Magnus is on the table for consideration, go for him. I promise he won't let you down... or break.

Cary is super cool and awesome, but he wishes you would spell his name right :o)

It's always sad to see broken figures :-(

Does it? I don't know. I'm not too keen on the import sites..so you'll have to be my guide. And Cobotron too. Always buying from the AmiAmi :lol:

I'm glad Car(r)y can speak for himself!! :lol:

And yeah, broken Rodimus is sad. I'm wondering if that "UV Activated" glue-stuff I've seen on the telly would do anything..As Seen on TV, your figure fixer!! :-D

Speaking of Ultra Magnus, I'm watching Transformers: The Headmasters "The Death of Ultra Magnus"!

This series is great, I don't care what anyone says!! :lol:

I'd say it's pretty likely NA will see a release of MP UM. Now grabbing one at TRU is going be a whole 'nother issue.

I had to break up with the jungle recently, after our first date even.

I try to be patient, but the way TRU around me/online hasn't worked out, I may as well just buy the Takara release and not be able to read the fun stuff on the box.

And you already stopped using them?! Daaaaaaaang.

I had a bad customer service experience. Probably an isolated issue, but they were not very willing to work with me. Right now I've got a claim in via paypal.

Let those other guys light your importing path. I've imported before with no issues. That KO Ratbat was imported and mad fast at that. As with most things in life; YMMV.

I loathe bad customer service. And I'm actually looking forward to dealing with TF-Direct, using the RPA5 code at checkout!!

Thank you sir!! He always let me do my own thing and genuinely took an interest with my mechanical and technical pursuits. He was a good man.

Thanks D-Max!! I'm actually trying to slim it down some. I'm going to be parting ways with a sizable chunk of my collection, just so I can focus on what I really want on display. A for sale thread will be in my signature soon!

Shame to see stuff go. I have no plans of selling anything of mine. Someday, I will own a house with a large room full of shelves built to display all the collectables one could ever wish for

I used to just buy stuff to buy it, figuring I'd get around to displaying it. I have a room for it too, but I really just want to focus on what I like the most now that the figures representing that are showing up!

It's tough, but I'm going to be buying more so it's not like I'm really getting rid of anything :lol:
