Does anyone know where to find MP3 Starcream in Malaysia? I dont mind other colours as long as it isnt Acid Storm.

I actually found this on ebay: http://www.ebay.com.my/itm/Transformers-Ma...=item462309b44d

Worth buying that one? Damn tempted to pick up one now as I like the anime colours version of the MP Starscream.

Takara Coronation Starscream on primocollectables.com is sold out atm though. I have been looking for a MP Starscream since the original one is out. Just didnt buy one because of the high price a few years back.

I almost bought the Hasbro MP Soundwave last time as I really like the quality of the mold.

Tempted to start collecting MP transformers, despite I am collecting costly die cast cars now.

I checked the Wiki, the more cartoon accurate version is out in 2007 to 2008 but yea, it is still damn old.

Still, I am not too concern about the plastic as plastics are made to last for a long long time. They probably wont degrade in a few years time. I used to have a few G1 to Beast Wars transformers back then where I collected since I was 7, even after 15 years, they are still fine till now. Until my mum donated them to charity.

I have been reading about the quality of the transformer, I heard that Takara MP's plastic is a bit more fragile than the Hasbro version, is it true?

So, I guess the Starscream is pretty decent quality as a whole.

How about the price? Is it worth buying at RM450?

Thanks, I guess i'll grab the new version then. How does the Coronation reissue look like? Just like the old one with some mold upgrades?

I assume the left one is the 2006 version and the right one is the coronation version.

I actually prefer the left one, the paint job is nicer in my opinion.

What do you mean? The old version has better quality plastic than the new version?

I might pick up that one then since I like the paint job of the old one. Looks better IMO.

Then, maybe get Sideswipe, Soundwave and Prowl in the future.

I think I have different intention with mine. I think the hip kibble in MP3 is ugly too but I intend to store mine in plane mode which I think MP3 is suitable. The robot mode is a bit too tall for me to store it properly, unfortunately. It will probably transformed into robot mode and left on the table for a few days then transform back to the plane mode for storage.

I also really like the weathering effects on the plane, feels more realistic.

How are the joints in your MP-11? Are they tight? Or they will get looser and looser like the newer toys after transforming a few times?

Also, MP3 has the display stand, i think that one might sway me into getting one.


May I know hows the quality of the joints in your MP3? Will they become loose after transforming a few times?

Thats alright.

Are there any part of the transformation that feels fragile?

I am intending to leave it in the jet mode. Can be used as a jet model with Starscream livery too. I like the inked panels as the jet mode feels a lot more realistic and polished. Thats why now I am considering to get it from ebay since the price isnt too bad.

I heard the MP11 does not have the stand.

True, it is not easy to find a decent quality jet to pose. Not to mention in Starscream colours.

So, for RM450, is it worth getting MP-3 for that price?

EDIT: Just wondering, is true that only Skywarp only featured in Masterpiece in the MP-3 mold but not the newer MP-11?

I have quite a few TF animated figure. They are really solid in my opinion. Fun to play, fun to pose and the quality is pretty damn good. I think Animated has one of the best Starscream. Sadly I lost one of its landing gear and could not find any spare parts for it.

Still looking for Animated Optimus Prime though.

Animated also have the best Blackout compared to the TF Movies.

Blackout Animated is easily posed and the alternative mode is so cute.

Yea, I rang. Can I has some tea please?

What? So no more Lambo and Starscream reissue?

Ah shit, now where am i gonna find a red lambo and Starscream.

I think i'll get a Prowl next week to access the Masterpiece quality before going on a witchhunt to find Lambo and Starscream. Gonna be much more pricey now.

My god, it looks good. How much is it? Where to get it?

OMG.

Now i need at least 1k to get the stuff i want this year.

Just saw Spark released the 2013 Toyota TS030, now i want it.

Hey guys, I found someone selling their MP-3 Starscream for RM400. Worth buying at that price?

It is a used model where the owner claimed to only open it and display it. Not played much. And he has 2 MP-3 Starscream, both Takara Masterpiece with different box. One with a window where the figure is in robot mode and one in alt mode.

The reason he is selling is, his wife wants him to sell his collection so he is selling his Sun Storm and Acid Storm too.

I could wait for the MP-11 reissue but I want the inked panel version of MP3.

If I am buying second hand MP-3, what should I keep an eye on? Any fragile parts that are easily broken or stressed?
