Im sure everything will turn out fine. The next runs should be the production run with minimal issues and those that have problems right now will get there's fixed if they are persistent. Then everyone one will think wow now Ive been through similar stuff before where I bought something, when I gof it I was like wtf, pissed, couldnt sleep, thought I got burnec and after about a month of making calls I fund out what I thought was a fake turned out to be so rare No one knew it was legit until I back tracked it to a guy that worked at Bandai 30 yrs ago that told me the story making it my prize posession. I sat back and laughed at all the drama an 800.00 toy caused me and realized thats part of the hobby and in the end I scored. Maybe one day once all the qc issues are adressed and everones VVs are fixed and to their liking we'll all feel that way.
For all I care they can take all the time they want to fix these before I get mine. I hope I get it before Xmas so I can show my girls when the come back for xmas break

AFAIK only TF and TC were official sellers. I remember someone in this thread (might have been todd) warning us not to buy from sellers like RK saying they weren't official. He might have been a MP insider trying to warn us in case the events of what happened with me, two-ducks and others happened. *EDIT* Nice pose two-ducks! I almost forgot about that. Makes sense though

What really screwed them is doing the preorders. They werent ready to make a product like this to the point the could do presales with the confidence there would be no problems or at least minimal. People have been expecting and waiting which Im sure put pressure on them to get this out withoug doing enough test runs to feel confident n releasing this. Unless the owners of MP are complete jerks I am sure this is weighing on them and stressing them out. It makes them look like amateurs and unreliable. That being said they will definately turn this around if they fix all these issues before the next run is sent out. That will show they care about their customers and went the extra mile to make everyone happy.

Did the mold break or something. Looks like that whole side is off. If thats a mold issue then all parts should be like that. Weird!!! VV Gremlins!!

Man I saw that. You gotta have badges and its all sold out. My friend Nectar wanted to go with me. She played the robot in Serenity. We talked about it and she was really into going even to the Burlesque Show but I had to tell her I couldn't get into the convention so probably wouldn't go. Is there any body selling there badges or scalping them. If I can get two badges I'm gonna go for sure. I may come down just to go to that show and see the band.

Happy as charged. Ive got a spot on one of my show cars that is blank its the inside of the hood I'm debating on what to put there. The outside of the car has my tattoos air brushed into the stripes and I'm thinking about maybe a bad ass VV and space scene. I'm just not sure yet if VV's the guy to put there or maybe a combo of the baddest bots. Maybe I should start a thread for ideas. It's gotta be mean looking to match the outside

That's so true but so funny! I even wake up in the middle of the night to bid on auctions overseas. I thought my 11 and 13 yr olds would think I was cool but only my 4 yr old does and only cause he's not old enough yet to realize his dad is nuts. I have something coming in the mail almost weekly and check this board like 20 times a day. I think I need a new hobby. With all the time and money spent doing this I could have built a life size fully functional Voltron by now!

That is a lot of work and with shipping costs and time involved I wonder if its even been profitable for these guy to sell them

I too want this in my hands but not the ones people have been getting. Im really hoping all this delay on the TF guys getting theres is because we're part of the batch/run 02 or whatever they are calling it without all these issues. Some of the reviews lately are making this thing look like its just crap which Im hoping isnt the case cause I didnt have any money left to order toilet paper to wipe up the mess. There really is no more speculation, we've seen the reviews, the broken pieces. If guys are getting these in good condition I want to hear from them. I read one guys post that his had no issues. I guess thats a start, I hope to hear more of that and am hopeful ours will be a lot better

Yes!!! Metal replacement parts for anything that breaks would be sweet. Ive always wanted to fully machine one of these from billet but that would be insanely expensive. Maybe one day!!

Was that your's on ebay recently? I was bidding on it.
He was actually talking about the original Japanese Box Popy with chrome elbows in box with every accessory still carded. I was selling one at a high price based on what I have seen a few sell for recently in Japan. If someone wanted it it was for sale and honestly after ebay fees and paypal shipping etc I wasn't making any money. My mistake was directing him to the forum so he could get a better deal when I list it here. He used that against me to tell ebay I was trying to sell outside ebay. Anyway lessen learned. I had a bad feeling about this guy from the msgs he was leaving me on a couple of my auctions and even thought I shouldn't respond any more to his msgs. I will be posting my Popy Dx Beast King soon in the for sale section, should have done that in the first place

They probably will not make new molds. Once I get mine I'll go through it with a fine comb. I actually enjoy taking the figures apart to see how everything is attached (drives me crazy when I can't do it - like with SRCs). The neck piece might be able to be reinforced from the inside with epoxy, so it becomes thicker and therefore will not crack as easily. Again, I'll have to see how the part is made. }D Yeah, that is part of the fun for me taking these apart. Ive been pulling my toys apart since I was two years old just to see how they work and these robots keep that alive.

That would frustrate me. I hope mine is problem free. Anyone here get one yet without any issues? Since I ordered multiples I am getting nervous. I hate sending stuff back. Im keeping my fingers crossed that Dave's batch doesnt have these problems but the waist issue and the neck breaking seems like an issue that would have to be addressed with new molds of those sections. I manufacture aftermarket car parts and going back to mold or changing molds is time consuming and I don't know if MP will do this to fix these issues since they no longer have the license
