Review of MP-08 Bumbebee and Spike...really worth the price of admission?

So, I scored the Transformers Masterpiece MP-08 Bumblebee and Exosuit Spike, the Hasbro version, for a pretty exceptional deal. This, however, begs the question, since this is a line I don't normally collect. 1. Is he perfect tens across the board as the word "masterpiece" would indicate? 2. Is he really worth the full cost? Check out what I think as someone who doesn't automatically give MP's a pass as perfect or close on.

Your videos would benefit from a camera with manual focus. Any time you have a movement, your camera seems to refocus and blur out whatever it is you are showing. Also causes some dizziness for the viewer.

Not worth the stupid Hasbro retail price.

Worth the original price for Takara or the clearance price?

Yes.

A brilliant toy. Some extremely clever and unique aspects to the conversion. Great looking bot mode.

You know, that is an issue I have really struggled with sometimes. It is really wierd. Sometimes, everything is fine, other times, it fades. I don't see how me bloody manually focusing would help though, not in that barely there little screen you can watch when recording and my terrible eyesight. But yes, that is something I am actually always working to improve. Lack of tech knowledge doesn't help the cause either. This is one of those suggestions are always welcome situations.

Couldn't agree with you more. The flap that goes into the body is simple but really inspired.

The Toy world one is also a very, very nice alternative.
