And I got to open my TRU exclusives MP-10 Optimus Prime and Thundercracker. OP is awesome! Didn't come with instructions but I didn't need them. I managed to transform him without instructions. So proud of my self :APPLAUSE:

Thundercracker was kind of a let down. First of all, his instructions was for the old mold so it took a while for me to figure out the new parts of the transformation. Secondly couldn't get him to fit together good in jet mode :-(

BTW: Also opened my FX Darth Mall lightsaber. It's awesome :grin:

Happy birthday. had the same problem with TC, look at a video review of him or sunstorm. there is a step not in the instructions that they show that will help make it fit together perfectly in jet mode. Then he is just awsome

Happy birthday! Sounds like you don't need the wishes with that haul though.

Does anyone know if the new Seeker mold has that wing breakage issue fixed? Be careful Birthday Boy.

Happy birthday bub, hope you are having a good 'un! :grin:

Great that youve got the new version of MP Thundercracker, I have one winging its way over from the U.S. thanks to a friendly Ebay seller.

Have a great day!

Sounds worrying, whats all this about?
I own Takara MP-03 Starscream and Hasbro MP-06 Skywarp with MP Thundercracker on his way, so this 'issue' concerns me! :???:

I'll join in with the others..!

Also hate you a little bit for having both figures.
I mean, not hate hate, but a little hatred... mostly jealousy.
(Not that I collect MP figures, but still.

It should concern you. There is a double hinge where the wings fold onto the back. The plastic around the pins is very thin and breaks. The best thing to do would be to heat a scalpel/modelling knife in a flame and slide it between the two moving parts so there is no pressure during movement.

So because we're going out of town on Christmas eve and I don't want my extended family knowing what a retard I am I've been opening presents since Tuesday. They all came in a big BBTS box. Today I opened MP Sideswipe. A little smaller than I expected but still a nice toy. I thought he'd be the same size as the Alternator and when I first opened him I thought about returning him. Then I transformed him. Nice!
