sorry i never saw the HT packaging before but for those MPs TF, u have to open the seal to check the toys inside..i still hope some day taktom will use the windows box same as yamato pack their macross..so u may see what's inside

one more thing, transformer sometimes the defect wont come at first sight

mayb after few transformation, some parts will be loosen
so even u got perfect look when first inspection, it does not guarantee the item is perfect afterwards \

most of the transformer packaging is sealed n almost impossible to bib like new once it is opened, many parts will tied with hard wires/temporary tighten-er, so u wont know the defect until u really play+transform it

It's a known problem since way back with MP02...there's actually nothing much we can do with the vendor.

is the vendor defective?
jgn mare. jk onli.

It's not about keeping box mint/sealed. It's about bringing the item out from box and checking the paint, condition, electronics, etc.

If worried about MISB only, then buyers have to risk defects in the future, tats all

This what happened to me when i bought reissue of MP02
when i opened it, got lots of uneven paintjob & wire marks on the leg
not to mention the upside down headlamps somemore

My MP04 box even worst, got long line on the back of it
it's not because of shipping but factory's making

the problem is...either the shop will give us a change to open it and change with better unit if got a problem?

The problem is the MP-04 problem is after u transform it. I don't think any shop will let u change after u transform ler...

but the gap / miss-align windows can be notify without transforming to alt mode rite?

LOL

Of Course lah, then wat's the point of inspection in 1st place?

Exercise consumer rights .... why scared of offending vendor? Should be other way round.

from the previous post, seems like after transform only the problem appear..

emm...but i think once the seal have been opened, it's become BIB alreayd and seller can't sell it same price as MISB anymore

my mp04 also got loose left chest... fixed it wit a little bit of blue tack... spam some pix...

mind to share how / where did u apply the blue tack?

the only way is to have it replaced within one week from the date of purchase. keeping it misb? if you're willing to take your chance on it. i rape mine as soon as i get home.

check out the picture below. i used a reli reli reli small piece oni

oOo...i thought it's permanent fix
