Picking up my MP24 soon.

So far been seeing the following QC issues:-
1) Incomplete parts (helmet / landing gear)
2) Poor assembly leading to bent parts
3) Some paint issues.

Any other QC issue I should check before leaving the shop?

In othe note, when is the release date for MP23 and MP21G?

Taikun always get things early

Hoping for an SMS to come in and say 'Your order is in stock'.

Get the PE Menasor PC-02 and PC-04 upgrade kits bro. Makes the whole combined figure look better proportioned.

My list is a mixed bag of the real stuff and KO. Not very proud of the KOs, but I missed some of the genuine items and the price has skyrocketed to the moon

MP08 Grimlock (WuKong, KO)
MP10 Optimus Prime (Hasbro)
MP11 Starscream (TakaraTomy)
MP11 Thundercracker (Hasbro)
MP12 Lambor (TakaraTomy)
MP12T Tracks (KO)
MP13 Soundwave (Hasbro, comes with all cassettes)
MP13B Ratbat (KO, dont know who makes it)
MP14 Alert (KO)
MP17 Prowl (TakaraTomy)
MP18 Streak (TakaraTomy)
MP19 Smokescreen (TakaraTomy)
MP20 Wheeljack (TakaraTomy)
MP21 Bumble (TakaraTomy)
MP22 Ultra Magnus (TakaraTomy)
MP24 Star Saber (TakaraTomy)
MPM1 Starscream (TakaraTomy)

Got MP23, MP21G and MP25 on PO, but was informed I may not be getting the MP23 since the 'shipment cancelled' incident :'(

MP26 bought from FamiToy gets coin. The coins arrived only on Friday afternoon (8/1/2016). Usually when I pickup stuff at FamiToy I will remind AhKok where is the coin. For the latest shipment, MP26, MP21R and UW04 all comes with coin (which arrived after the figures).

The only MPs that doesnt come with coins are the RM50 PWP deals for MP12, MP21G and MP23 (MP23 doesnt come with a coin to begin with).

The significance of the Collector's Coin is just as its meant to be - collectibles.

It is only issued for units that are sold outside of Japan.

FamiToy has received their stock for MP28 (together with coin) earlier today (9/3/2016).

Other shops should follow suite shortly.

Both MP27 Ironhide and MP30 Ratchet is simply a joy to fiddle around - accessories galore!

Transformation of the chest piece was tricky, but once figured out not much a problem. Other than that, transforming between robot and alt mode is fun.

Complaints on the 'wheel-butt' - a very big oversight on TakaraTomy as I think they could've done better on that part.

Minor QC issue on my unit of MP Ironhide where the shoulders needed the disassemble, swap and reassemble treatment to make them line up as intended
