FIGHT THE STORE!! I'm pretty sure you're a good customer and they'd want to keep your business. Preeeeeeeeeeeeeeetty sure.shajaki wrote:I'm thinking about it, I really am.

Ehhh.... I've been thinking about it all night and most of this morning (work is slow lol) and I'm leaning towards keeping them. While I certainly don't think they're worth the money I paid, they're passable, do have some nice features, and the sheer thought of fighting the store exhausts me.itscramtastic wrote:FIGHT THE STORE!!

Well I am Australian. It's kinda what we're known for.
Sorry for hacking the quote up, but I'm trying to make a point. I've been digging down the 3P and KO rabbit hole for a bit now and I can definitely second that feeling as a whole.shajaki wrote:To be perfectly honest, I'm pretty disillusioned...

Now, I don't want to say the phrase "KO quality", but it's pretty close...

...but lacked the refinement we get with official MP's. These feel like they're a step beyond that even.... ~ ...lacked refinement...

My advice, is pass.
And I did go into deeper thought on that in my Rouge review. I bet the official figures have way more people involved, and way more boxes to check off. You know the saying, a fresh pair of eyes and all. With these 3P pieces, it's almost as if it's just a couple guys with no oversight handling things.carytheone wrote:Lacking refinement. That is the phrase I've been looking for. The big difference is that my purchases have been at clearance prices so my expectations were a lot lower.
I only have 1 Badcube'r (well, 2, but same mold) and he was fantastic. Surgio and Burnio may have been outclassed by MP-39, but are in no way poor figures.carytheone wrote:Well that's a real bummer because I've always heard such nice things about BadCube and Steamroll was on my radar before I decided to go KO for my MP Sideswipe.
Maybe for some people... but I think I'm pretty accepting of both sides. 3P aesthetics are all over the place, so they either hit my button or they don't. But when they do, I'm usually all in, unless they're severally disappointing since they're in hand. Which might seem to be a trend with me, but it's only the most recent 3P figures that have upset me. I have plenty that I love.itscramtastic wrote:It may even be subconscious that we prefer the officials better, but I think it's very real that they are overall better. Obviously there are some exceptions, and I sure as heck hope DX9 Carry is one of them!
THE COOLEST you mean!! He's gonna be my Rodimus forever. Probably.shajaki wrote:..but I don't care because he just looks so cool

shajaki wrote:This whole Badcube thing (and Rouge before it) kinda makes me want to swear off 3P MP's entirely. I'm pretty soured at the moment. It just feels like such a gamble. On one hand I've had 3 disappointing figures in a row, on the other hand there was the likes of MT's Meteor and FT's Phoenix before that. It just really sucks that the experience seems so personable, and that you can just never know until it's in hand
