Is there a link to the actual listing, cant find it in Lena's items on sale.

Yup. Same here.

All I see from his site are a bunch'a Ponies and his usual cr@p.

Logic of bidding for a factory reject at $ 76.00 over a QC version for less?

People attribute value to getting somethingbefore anyone else. Plus there are the youtube reviewers.

Btw this was an factory reject the seller has and had sold factory rejects before

-I think the Transformers they sell are *only* bad factory QC rejects.
-They only use stock, or lack or genuine photos for the item listings so you won't know how bad each figure is going to be.
-They won't list everything wrong with each figure.
-They refuse to refund when you get something with bad defects that were not listed or specified at all. Their 'defense' is 'you opened it so we don't know that you didn't damage it', even though they know they're selling defective rejects.


I thought the manufacturing facility was moved and this seller no longer had access to the really bad Transformers QC rejects.

When there's a black market and demand......also, he ships his items from Singapore of all places.

Lena has a few up for auction at the moment which some might be interested in.
As mentioned up thread, these look like factory rejects. You can see scuffs on the hood, face, misaligned paint apps and the like on the selective pictures shown.

I bought my MP Sideswipe from Lena which came misassembled at the waist and the head was falling apart.
Its the risk one takes for an early in-hand figure.

Just received notice from BBTS that MP Clampdown should be arriving within the next 10 days.
I'm excited about this.

Next up we have OptimusPrimeSG's review of TakaraTomy Transformers Masterpiece MP-14C Cybertron Police Clampdown. MP-14C Clampdown is actually a straight redeco of the MP-14 Red Alert and you can check out the video we've embedded below to see if this release is up your alley, and let us know in the Seibertron.com forums if you will be picking up this releasee of the MP-14 mold here.

This is a real neat collectory nostalgia moment for me I'd like to share.

The Diaclone New Countach LP500S Police Car was the only Lambor i had as a kid.






Blue collar Heros!

That's awesome! Does Clampdown live up to the hype?

Has he had much hype?
He does it for me. For reasons pictured above.

The mold is still in great shape. No QC goofs. His gun doesn't peg into his palm, but neither does my Red Alert's. He has lots of nice paint work despite his minimal deco. Love the toy accurate shoulder cannon and silver forearms.

After handling both these guys last night, I realized just how detailed a little model of a Countach that old toy is. All the G1 car molds have such nice accurate little Alt modes.

[Amelie]

Still bugs me they used Red Alerts arms. Using Sideswipe's would've just made him more distinct, because as he is - he barely looks any different at all. I know the wheels are a nod to the original toy, but still....

I want that Clampdown. My favorite repaint of Sideswipe since Sideswipe himself

I'm waiting for a sale for Clampdown and Red Bee. It's weird the import sites don't carry them.
