Wait... That's your second one? Double dick.
What was wrong with the first one? |

Half the bumper's popped loose from the fender at that transformation pivot. I guess I came loose in transit the rest of the way because in the ebay photos it was just "almost" loose. You know...? Anyway, there's no way of fixing it and keeping the MISB and it was driving me nuts. Having something that great in almost great condition. Then this one popped up on advertised on TFW as an eBay listing for the greatest price I've ever seen for one in such great condition... So now I'll be picking up some more overtime over the next month and Palpay's Bill Me Later collects some more interest.
It was a groaning "Damnit" as I clicked Buy it Now, but I really could not pass it up. I now have only two grails. The Japanese Hasbro Release of MP-03 Starscream and MP-01 in Lucky Draw format. I've seen in Gold Prime person and it's stupid looking, but it is an MP. |

Actually, there's more to it. I thought it was just a Decepticon Logo on the nosecone but there's also that the tail fins. You know how all the Takara releases are sharper... So's Starscream's. It's a very small thing though which is why it's not a priority.
Certainly not compared to the FT Shockwave [or Quake Wave] release or Hexatron, for that matter. |

Almost went to see that this weekend, then my girlfriend and I both realized that we'd be better off waiting until we could breathe through our noses without undue difficulty and/or frequent uncloggings. Or until the extended version comes out on BR.
Those... are some pretty minor differences. I do prefer the Takara tail fins, but not enough to seek out a whole new toy over them. Speaking of tail fins, I'm contemplating doing the leg/tail mod on SS/SW/TC. Ask me how done that is in a year from now. So, I started playing Lollipop Chainsaw this weekend. The controls are a wee bit clunky but holy crap the presentation makes up for it. |

Don't do it... the leg mods that is, I know nothing of this Lollipop Chainsaw.
I have finished all of season one of Boardwalk Empire. I think I'm in love with the Irish woman. |

That's pretty much the story of my family if you had to narrow it down to one sentence. It's only later that the insanity is revealed.
So, why the discouragement on the leg mod? Lollipop Chainsaw: You are Juliet Starling, a just-turned-18 cheerleader whose school has just been overrun with foul-mouthed and puerile zombies. So it's a good thing you and your entire family are zombie hunters, and you have a magic chainsaw with which to dismember said zombies, and you know how to save your boyfriend from zombification via decapitation and keeping his still-alive head on your hip. The whole thing is over the top and obnoxious, with fanservice and f-bombs, all glossed over with a huge helping of Lisa Frank and gore. |

Honestly, MP-11 and TRU's MP-TC. Both are already modded and I'm sure Skywarp will happen in time.
And if you ever sell, I know about the open market, but I'd look to buy a non modded figure over one with the mods. |
