Congrats! But I thought you went the chimungmung route, which I did based on your recommendation (very thankful for, it had the best deal around). What made you chose BBTS this time? And congrats on that pyramid figure too, it looks awesome!

I didn't preorder pretty much until a couple weeks before release. So by then virtually EVERYONE was sold out, otherwise I'd have totally gone with Chimung.

(Pyramid Head is awesome right? Did you see the Nurse recently solicited?)

So, yeah, this is Masterpiece Megatron. This is how he should've been made from the get go. The materials need to be a bit stronger in places, but the design is a real winner. I wasn't impressed at first, had some serious issues, but once I figured them out, I love it.

Ahhhggg missed the postie! Tomorrow it is then.

He really is awesome. I'm glad I was able to get him!!

I only replaced the fusion cannon arm shoulder piece. They are SUPER stiff on mine, I usually have to rotate the arm counterclockwise at the shoulder to "break it free" if you will and then can move clockwise (due to the hinge on the robot side of the shoulder joint). My biggest issue is still that flappy part on the right leg (you can see the images on page 31 of the thread). I think the paint turned out pretty good on mine!

Heck yeah! It took me a few attempts as I didn't want to use "too much" force. Pretty sure I can't get them off now without unscrewing them from the arm first I actually didn't attach it well enough to the cannon arm first (the pins are bigger than the originals) and I didn't want to screw too tightly. Learned my lesson, passed on the left arm

Definitely glad they came with him though. Would've been very sad (like I was with MP-05) after the novelty wore off.

I strongly advise not to try and pop the arm off with the new shoulders in , i was almost in tears trying

i took the screws out first and your right Cram they dont sit perfect as the arm came off as soon as the first section was taken out .

i would suggest to anyone whos left arm doesnt flop just leave it alone its not worth the hassel

I was using a microfiber cloth and a set of pliers and I couldn't remove the joint on the cannon arm and had to re-assemble as best I could with it awkwardly positioned and a better screwdriver. I think that was where I failed, using the included screwdriver and being lazy

Got half way and quit .

Ill try again tomorrow with a fresh head.

Its probably not the figure it will be the instructions i always find them irritating as hell .
