Then let's never, ever have MP seekers again. They are taking over my house.
I'd love them too, but wouldn't expect them anytime soon :/SillySpringer wrote:ScottyP wrote:Mine was just fine, thankfully. Bring on Thrust and Dirge! And maybe I can dream of a MP-11SW reissue?

Forget Seekers, we need Cliffjumper and Glyph!

There were some reports of bad paint. It's not isolated to Hasbro MP releases - Takara's MP stuff has been plagued with just as many issues with paint and QC, you just don't hear about them as much because of the lower number of folks that import vs. stalk TRU for the sparse Hasbro releases.Wolfman Jake wrote:SillySpringer wrote:If Hasbro does an American issue of him I might consider it but I don't expect extremely good quality from Hasbro MPs at this point after they botched up Bluestreak.
How, if I may ask, did Hasbro botch Bluestreak? I was under the impression he was nigh identical to the Takara release.
A post like this could be very helpful hereScottyP wrote:This very thread is about Takara's Ramjet, and a lot of the last page is specifically about problems that some folks had with their copy. Then there was Hot Rod's chrome, Exhaust's flaky white paint, the nightmare that was their individual cassette pair releases, the first run Lambor's paint issues - the list goes on.

The Bee MP mold was released two times after without spike and it was 65$ from importers. No reason Cliff would be any cheaper. If you are not getting Bee because he is 10$ more than that (hence, the Spike accessory is only 10$ more, not the ludicrous 80$ you have spouted) than I dont see how you would be comfortable with the price Cliff would ask. MPs will always be expensive, especially when buying from importers.

I would have much preferred they do something with the real nosecone, along the lines of what fans did with the original Ramjet, Thrust and Dirge. Cartoon accuracy be damned! It's an OK concept, but when it gets in the way of functionality, common sense should kick in and do what's best for the toy. Especially when they do a faux nosecone for the head just so we can end up with a nosecone that sticks out between his legs. I don't remember that in the cartoon! If the length of the head and nosecone was too long, all they needed to do was something clever to collapse it instead of rotating the cockpit. Too many disappointments with Masterpiece toys over the past year!

It was the same mold but with way less the QC than their previous Prowl from what I've heard.
