hm talking about RiD fire convoy, is it true that his connecting parts are loose? i read reviews which complained on that, and how GF OP is an improvement when it comes to connecting parts (like the legs)....

and despite the fact that his robot mode is nice, RiD FConvoy has a funny cab mode (detached from the back part).... im skipping it, sadly.

true bro GF OP has a better looking standalone cab though

despite the complains on TFTM OP design in the movies, i think both the Robovision and Leader class OP looks GREAT! all the Leader class one need is some chrome lovin' i'd get the premium if it werent for the fact that ive gotten the first batch one.

yupe bro, thats what some reviewers were complaining about.... was contemplating of getting him a year ago, but after reading the review, and also that his standalone cab looks kinda "shortie", i've decided to skip him.... besides, he's not the usual Red/Blue Prime, ahaha

sigh, ive always wanted AirAttack Primal.... he's a Masterpiece of the Beast era

my sequence of buying a TF is:
1. See a mold i like..
2. Watch the cartoon/tv/movie to see that particular character.
3. Check the articulations (reviews, youtube)
4. Weight pros and cons (defects in mold, price vs rarity, etc)
5. check with LYN forumers
6. set budget BEFORE checking eBay.
7. then check eBay
8. for new items (like TFA and TFTM), skip eBay and wait for retail

yes, the robot mode is excellent.... one of the nicest OP ive seen

sadly, he's at SUPER goreng price now, even more so than the GC01 mold.

additional steps:
9. for Masterpiece, buy as soon as it comes out
10. for series currently ongoing, buy the toys that are featured in said series.
11. no repaints unless no choice

i agree, MPSS and MP05 are currently at a good price.... i got my MP05 before the reissue, rm80 more expensive.

but seriously, if u dig the MP series, better get these two now...

MP01 and MP04, hopeless price now
MP02, i skip cos i dont like the same mold in my collection, but depends on ur preferences
MP03, SKIP it, get MPSS

yupe, as much as i love the takara MP series, a price difference of RM100 and above between Hasbro and Takara is kinda ridiculous.... im first and foremost a collector who plays with his toys.. am not keeping them for resale purposes

i like MP01 because of the toy AND the box.. heck, i still have the boxes for 90% of my TF collection (except the ones i buy loose from eBay)

MP boxes sure are classy

some shops do that often, especially in Klang valley kinda sad, u trusted them before because of their friendliness, then when their business grow, they forget about u and go "business is business"...sad

betul,, betul last time they don't mind my barrage of questions regarding toys.. now more like "you want to buy or not?!" sigh....

OH NO!!! its "OPTICAL CRIME!"

CONGRATS BRO!!!

wanted to get MPSS, but no money for now.... luckilly got MP06 before goreng

hehe:
1. He's a Masterpiece, to pair with MP Prime
2. Despite the fact that he's DA*N difficult to transform, you have to admit the ingenuity and the engineering that went into designing a scale-up true replica of a Walther P38 that can transform into a G1 recognizable Megatron
3. I still think he's the Ultimate Megatron, although he's not really stable to pose due to the waist/hip joints.

there!

it's like a Diner there, haha

im still VERY fond of TFTM Optimus Prime.. apart from the addition of the billions moving parts, he is Undeniably Prime
