Ah i found the right topic this time.

Ok last week I got a KO of MP-28 Hot Rod.
And today received Weijang's upscaled version of Geneations Arcee with removable backpack pieces for a bit more G1 accuracy.

Hot Rod was £18.99 with free delivery.
Arcee was £16.99 with free delivery.
Very happy with both.

Yup, got him he's cool

I rarely come here. But for once I have something special.

My first Wei Jiang KO!

This is not a cheap "dollar store" KO either. Wei Jiang are just CRAZY and they turn regular TFs into an inproved "Masterpiece" version of it! Oversizing, diecasting, ultra deluxe paint, high quality plastics... But most of all, REDISIGNED PARTS! This is madness!

Anyway, I got Robot Force A.K.A "MP" AoE Hound.
That thing is INCREDIBLE! Come even with extra accessories. Also, the feet are not fakes. They are the genuine WHEELS transformed! Also, all the extra pannellings are hiding on the back. And the final touch, dogtags, removable helmet and "cy-gar".



The details are fantastic.



Transformation is a bit scary because he's tighter than Aisha on her wedding night.Rhooooooooh....
Many joints have to be "broken" in order to move freely and some things had to be forced to unpeg. Thanks to several video reviews, I knew where to force things and where to be careful.



For 75$Can shipped, I think I have my money's worth.
I'm looking forward to more Wei Jiang stuff. I'm skipping on the Optimus because I have too many of them.
Wei Jiang are skilled enough to come up with their own originals I can guess.

I have that too, and you are right...some pegs/tabs look as if they could stress or break easily & the panels that hide the arms ect(in vehicle mode) don't hold or align together too well & that rear section is a nightmare to try to tab in properly, other than some issues & nitpicks....a great figure

oh & he comes with a spare cigar...which is soooo tiny...it could be easily lost


lets hope Wei Jiang do TLK Megs at some point

[Stuartmaximus]

Hey is that reprolabels that you've added to Infinitor or just the labels you get with Grant? + is that the upgrade kit since you've got the small hand weapon there

[Ebonsaber]

Used to collect cheap carded KO's and even quit long before I signed up here... But it surprised me though that even third party TF's are now being bootlegged, on top of that it seems to be a response to nitpiks on the original TP's, such as upsizing molds. These are my first new KO's, and I'm starting to get hyped over what the bootleggers will come up next...

[Bumblebee21]

Try mpp-10

[bodrock]

I do love my MPP-10!

MPP10 & Tyrant

The quality obviously varies but I thoroughly enjoy my KOs and 3Ps.....just as much as the official HasTak figures.

Voyager sized KO of CW Leader Megatron. Cost me £6.99 with free shipping
Feels solid enough and looks good in both modes. Not sure why they went with G2 green camo everywhere execept the chest area but it's a neat toy. My fave bits about the mold is how the tank turrent can turn despite becoming his arms, and also that the robot has waist articulation. The rear of the robot mode with the teads appears to have been very simplified compared to the official Leader figure so cannot come together or slide lower into a tidy backpack but it's not too bad. Crotch piece and forearm bits come off a bit easily during transformation due to the way they clip on but can fix that. Comes with his fusion cannon and the two small weapons that combine into a longer rifle. Also includes instruction sheet but came in a just polysterene panels packaging rather than any proper box.

Nice tank.

Decent robot mode with that nice Megatron face sculpt

Comparison with other Voyager Megatron figures (including Bludgeon as there is a Megatron retool of him)

I kinda wish the back area could be compacted like the Leader toy but all in all this is a nice KO and at the right size for me (I prefer my commanders to be Voyager rather than hulking Leader sized) and at £6.99 with free delivery it was certainly worth a go and I'm very pleased with it overall.

Ooh, where'd you get free shipping? I might just have to try it out myself if the free shipping means the price is a drop in the ocean

Oddly although it says sent from China the return address on the box says Southall in London. Anyways I ordered it on the 7th July and I got it today the 15th.

I've got a sheet of Decepticon insignias of various sizes so I can put one him maybe covering up that red star.

Think the official Leader toy has working tracks, right? This doesn't. Is molded plastic as per many other official TF tank toys. But for the price I can't complain and I would probably never roll them much anyways.

Yeah, the leader has working treads -- I appreciate that it pulled off that neat trick alongside the whole arms-become-a-working-turret thing you mentioned. Shame it's not preserved on this but it's like 7 quid, can't complain

[Evil Eye]

Not actually a haul (yet) but I have MakeToys' Green Giant coming in the post soon. Pretty stoked, I have to say- I was originally planning on going for Hercules, but MT's Defensor was so good that they won me over. And for £70 below standard price from a UK seller, why not? Also Herc suffers from some issues AFAIK (mainly due to being the first complete 3P combiner ever) and the other contender, Gravity Builder, is over £500 and ridiculously huge.

After enjoying the MAKETOYS HALF DECADE DEAL, I received this:

Maketoys Despotron and an unexpected Citybot Armageddon upgrade kit for my YOTS Omega Supreme. Still had to pay 32$CAN in custom fees though....

So, here's Armageddon first. Omega Supreme in bot mode with the kit is... Erh... Okay I guess. The kit is just kibble. The wings are unconvincing and only the "nose of the rocket" hand-canon make a difference.



Y'all know what the real draw of the kit is. The CITY MODE!



The thing is pretty impressive and was fairely easy to assemble.



Also, batteries included! And those lights are INTENSE.


Moving right along Megatron Despotron, I'm really happy to have that bot. 150$CAN instead of over 400$CAN for the official MP is perfect.

The bot is big, beefy and impressive. I obviously added a on his chest. He's also quite posable with lots of satisfying ratchets joints. His face changing gimmick is nice, but I don't want to lose the parts so I settled for his rage-face and put the rest back into the box.



Quality wise, the plastics feel very solid and I transformed him with confidence. Only problematic part is the head that pop off the balljoint too easily and is a bit of a pain to fold back into the chest. Other than that, Despotron transform pretty easy and I was looking a the instructions only half of the time. He's intuitive and I love it.

Overall, that's a 210$CAN total well spent!

[galvatron00]

That dang Despotron..so emotive!! And he's got that "look". If I didn't already have Apollyon I'd have him too. Or maybe I'll get him cheap somewhere.

Did I post this here yet?

I'll just post it anyway.

[bodrock]

Love dat OMEGA YOTS

[-Kanrabat-]

Love dat OMEGA YOTS

Me too, he's incredible.

And transforming Despotron back to robot mode, I can confirm he's SOLID and FUN to mess around with.
He's definitely my "official MP Megs". I feel like I have my money's worth and I'm very glad to have avoided paying around 450$CAN for MP-36.
