You would think Hasbro would have fixed that issue for the rerelease of MP Prime.
Tell him to flip the matrix over in the chest. The windows close just fine so long as the matrix is facing the right way. It sounds odd, but I did it on mine and then the windows closed. The other way creates just a bit too much plastic.

Seriously, try it.

I bought the new release as well and I have the same issue with the chest not closing flush in robot and in vehicle mode.

Flipping the matrix around helps somewhat, but still leaves a gap between the windows in the middle of his chest.

The right side window/chest stays flopped out a few centimetres in vehicle mode -- more pronounced than in robot mode. Since there's no issue with the matrix or matrix chamber in vehicle mode, it must be something with the plastic, pins or screws in the window assembly.

Anybody have suggestions for a fix? I was considering returning, but if it's a common QC issue a fix would be preferred.

That price is pure greed, Hasbro is putting themselves out of business with shite like this. Way overpriced with nothing new like maybe a jet pack? New Colors or more paint would b nice. I'll pay the price if u give me a reason. I'd support the tf franchise if they'd try.

Re: Toys R Us Exclusive Masterpiece Optimus Prime Released At Retail

I'm actually looking for one of these. I haven't seen any in the Vancouver area and the TRU website just lists it as coming soon. I know these are much more expensive than they used to be but my only option is to buy the previous release from a private seller or new from TRU, both of which will cost around the same. Does anyone have any info when these will be available on the website?

^They were already available on the website but sold out within a day. They'll probably be back up there. Best of luck in getting one.
