Think about it though. Put yourself out of the fandom then evaluate it like any other product out there. Would you be as lenient?
Mind you I think MP09 is so shitty I ended passing up on it completely.

LOL ya my MP-09 has gone under surgery 3 times now lol but I love it!
From outside looking in I see this high level.
I see Hasbro, attempting to work within the confines of their budgets. They have to feed the masses! Doing the best they can mind you. (Gawd the reissues that's a different conversation)
I see 3rd Party filling the gaps, along with providing a "higher" level of detail which Hasbro cannot unless it's Masterpiece.
I have a nasty hobby of cars when I'm not shooting transformers lol. After market parts is HUGE $$! I look at 3rd party the same. Outside of the official brand. Returns/replacement parts are not as easy as if you were to purchase from a dealer. (although this can be bad as well)
Within my 2 hobbies, those expensive toys I buy all have risk. None of which I've faced as of yet but there's risk involved.
I understand your point on some of the members looking for replacement parts, along with the pain they are going through. I really hope their issues get rectified, I only hope the retailers they purchased from can help fight that fight.
To the members who are scared of being mauled they shouldn't be. I was only sharing my experience with the same figure. Some will have issues, most(? One can hope) will not. As they have a right to share their thoughts, as do I if I had a great experience right?
