I am so excited for Bonecrusher. He is my favorite movie Con, and he looks so good!

I agree 100%.
But I've been burned twice by preordering MPM Starscream and Blackout from Amazon.JP.
I paid the high price and the high shipping, only for the damn things to pop up on clearance locally with free shipping.

I WILL get that Bonecrusher, but this time, I'll bid my time and wait for the local sale.

I already got his preorder down to $120 shipped, so I think I've got him good here

MPMs are Target exclusives in the US.

True, but they would be importing from Japan (or perhaps Asia) plus a markup which doesn't really make for much of a savings, if any.

How many of you watched the early review for MPM Bonecrusher from PrimevsPrime? There's a moment where he is a bit puzzled by how the ratchets sound and feel when moving the leg back. He wasn't the only person to sense that and a fan who purchased Bonecrusher recently (now that he's being found at retail) wanted to get to the bottom of it so they disassembled that section. And low and behold: they found the joint was broken. You can see the image below. Its unknown if the Ratchet joint comes broken in these examples or if it broke after handling, nor do we know how widespread the issue is. We just wanted to give you a heads up an explain why this area of your toy may not seem right when you handle it.

These mounting QC issues are concerning on a number of releases.

We're going to need to find a fix ASAP.

Hasbro’s quality control strikes again, it seems. Booooooooo!

That IS a QC issue. This is a missassembled part. Something that should have been built and inspected correctly.

Fortunately this part doesn't look too difficult to reproduce in CAD and 3D print with ABS plastic.

Change "not buy anymore" to "not pre-order anymore." Why limit yourself? Just wait and see how the general quality will be. Furthermore, MPM toys are expensive but are widely available everywhere and WILL go on sale sooner or later. So, no rush.
