So we shouldn't complain when Foreign workers(Bangladeshi,Indonesians,etc) service like shiat and complain when professionals like doctors and lawyers make a mistake?It doesn't make a difference,but you must understand in today's world's of mass production there is no such thing as perfection,take it as it is,or imagine you're the guy eating the stained meatballs.
I remembered reading a report about Hasbro factory in China,how the workers were paid chicken feed,how they were dining and sleeping with the rats and how much time they were given to assemble specific amount of toys,so I think that we're lucky with only a bit of paint chip.It's not like it's gonna last forever,the paint and chrome will chip and erode over time.

You have missed my point totally. Didnt really understand your logic tho. First you were the one who complain hasbro scalp ppl. But then you are perfectly okay with them producing mediocre work and sell at premium.

Well its just my humble opinion. Peace.

Off topic, we arent blaming on the workers tho. Its not within our power how the workers should be treated. Though my personal view is that it is perfectly reasonable for hasbro to treat their labor better considering how much profit the consumers is contributing to them.

Ha,this is TRU,a big company that can afford the loss,imagine if it happened in one of the smaller shops like 1toy,after opening 3 boxes,"Ah Soon,semua ada paint chip la....".......how they gonna sell those opened boxes?

Thing is bro, TRU is not taking any losses. They passed the risk to the buyers.

If it is true that they resealed opened boxes and resells the mixed and matched items, TRU has the duty to inform customers of this.

So let me get this straight. TRU allowed you to go through several boxes, mixed and matched the components, and LATER TRU reseals the boxes and sells them off to other buyers as MISB condition, at full sticker price of RM499?

If this is true, we should file a complaint at a Consumer Tribunal against TRU for unethical practice by misrepresenting its products as MISB if it has been tampered with prior to sale.

TRU is selling these sham of MP (the KO version seems to have better paint apps) higher than TakTom pricing, with no guarantee that it is MISB, at full price. Wow. Just wow.

This is beyond belief.

When Hasbro released the MP Soundwave, I thought Hasbro was heading down the correct path (at TRU prices, Hasbro Soundwave was a better buy compared to TakTom's set). Now all that effort goes to waste.
*
My "speculation" :

Perhaps the toy is already no longer MISB albeit the box looks new. Where did all the leftovers clearanced HAsbro Grimlock go ? All sapued effectively ? Or some returned back to Hasbro , taken out from the box, and reboxed again in this current box by the workers ? (hence the chipped off paintjob during such process).

The box might be fresh and new, but the toy is no longer mint.

That could be possible, but does not add up due to the lack of paint apps of the new MP Grimmy compared to the original Hasbro MP Grimmy.

It kind of hard to believe that Hasbro took out the toys, made the effort to erase the paint apps and reboxed the whole package.

You are the one who have totally missed the point.My point is there shouldn't be a difference whether you're paying RM5 or RM50.Secondly since when did I back up Hasbro for producing mediocre work and selling at premium price?Read carefully I was saying they are paying chicken feed to their workers to produce mediocre to be sold to customers for premium price.Something like RM50 restaurant buying from RM5 foodstall to sell at RM50.

Also,I wasn't complaining about Hasbro scalping us but more on how ignorant we are when we talk about small scalpers here and there but then choose to pay these big scalpers.But that point is moot since someone pointed out that the original price in US is supposed to be USD150.

hehe.. relax guys ...
whatever the price, too expensive or not ... the power of buying is in your hand ..
cant complain about the price, their products and they see potential for selling even at that price .. they go for it .. just hope for price cut in future as happened to mp prime, soundwave n acidstorm before ..

and if you guys concern of the boxes being open when planning to purchase.. maybe just a small tip, check if the box has double tape or any sign has been opened ..

and last about the premium price and expected premium quality .. that's very subjective ... now a char kuey tiow analogy sweat.gif
ok, the roadside stall maybe selling a rm5 per plate.. but when u go a hotel example, they selling much higher price rm20 or more .. so u expect the hotel to be much tastier with good portion of meat, vege etc ... but instead, u get an ordinary same like stall selling .. the hotel didnt do any wrong ... it's their kuey tiow .. u cant feel cheated, that's how they cook their kuey tiow ..

price doesnt always about quality .. so, if later they decide to lower the price, 50% discount .. should they lower the quality or make it smaller..? this is business, the price they put to get profit .. we either help them or dont help them .. maybe what you pay, is equal to what they feel of its quality .. hasbro said, ok, for this quality of mp grimlock, we should put at this price.. and all the board agreed .. so who we are to said anything .. if we cant agree, dont buy their product.. and in future they see the sign, for sure there will be discount ..

Haha, it was actually Grimlock's feet...the voyager scaled oned doesn't look like that actually...not sure if it's the paint job who change the looks of it.

On the Galvatron, the backpack is still there, but the entire figure is heavily painted and so the backpack does not show that much.
