Has anyone in Sebertron bought Megatron Masterpiece MP-05 reissue version released earlier this year? Wish to get one but must get details on the following:

- Does he suffer from "Cosmic Rust" problem in his feet like the original release?
- Does he still have balancing issue?

THanks in advance for answering these queries to anyone kind enough to help

It's the exact same figure as what was previously produced. The "Cosmic Rust" problem is part of the design flaw. It can be corrected with some TLC, though. It doesn't cause permanent damage.

Balancing? Yeah, still there. If you set the hips/legs just right, he'll stand fine.

Glad someone asked this. I was about to try and find a way to get the reissue for those same problems......

Some seller claimed that the reissue is made with different kind of metal material solving the cosmic rust problem and seems the feet are more stable, I do not know whether to trust their claims seems doubtful to me.

It's starting to seem to me that the sad fact is all these reissues have simply been of original toys which sold well despite flaws. I truly hope someone can refute this. Would be keen to hear if the reissue Rodimus Prime MP would have anything 'fixed' or not.

Takara is reissuing rodimus at the same time as mp10 and this version will be fixed

You mean according to Takara? As in Takara has admitted there were issues that needed fixing in the first release?
