Masterpiece Ultra magnus worth the price tag?

Hi, does anyone who already has the Ultra magnus masterpiece toy tell me if he is Worth the high price tag that we're getting in Canada? I'm affraid that after I pick him up, I end up with a load of Rodimus masterpiece type issues. In some reviews I've heard about stress marks on the plastic after only a few transformation. Make me nervous to spend almost 300$ on a figure who has too many flaws.

Thanks!

I'd say yes and Magnus is far better then rodimus and doesn't have the problems rodimus had.

That said if you're stressed about stress marks then I'd consider just not collecting transformers in general. Stress marks show up in everything from Generations legends to expensive non official transformers. Unless it's physically breaking like Rodimus did then don't worry about it.

Great great figure! One of my favorite MPs!

Not sure I would spend 300$ on him but hes well worth the 180$ shipped I paid.

The price is gona be around 275$ with the taxes included. I did the math and having him shipped from online store in the US would only save me around 20$ once you take into consideration the dollars exchange rate and the high shipping fees because of his weight. (And that is hoping customs won't hold it for inspection). 239$ plus taxes seem to be the price rates in Canada for this guys.

I paid $120 plus $20 shipping. Damn straight he is worth that. I would have paid at least $150 plus shipping for him.

$300, damn. I got mine from N-Y for $149 all in. For the 149 I paid, absolutely worth it. He is a magnificent piece. I have had zero issues other than the commonly reported sprue marks on the forearms.
