Initial thoughts on MP BW Megatron from HK...

[Pascal]

So 5-6 reports out of how many thousands of units sold?

Keep your eye on this, a lot of people haven't even opened their copy yet (like myself) or are still waiting to receive it. I don't like the fact that's it same spot of breakage for everyone who has the issue. This doesn't look good.

Its about a dozen documented reports now, but it all being in the same spot is not good at all. It's recurring at this point and I don't know why anyone would belittle this, this is no fun for consumers who have this happening to them.

Is Pascal employed by takara PR or something.
Clearly this is a problem in the same problem spot. It may affect a small percentage but denying its existence is clearly silly. I saw a facebook post with a crack in an unopened copy still in the clamshell

Was wondering the exact same thing

He and Maple Megatron clearly have some beef.

So, out of the many thousands of this toy out there, a handful of people have cracked their crotch. Gotcha. Word is the instructions suck, too. Maybe check out a transformation video on youtube.

I think this thread has outlived its purpose. Be careful with your over-engineered toys, kids.

I would say don't kill this thread. Rather, if you have this issue, it would be much appreciated if you did report it on here (that's kind of the point).

It's clearly not about being careful or not:

Mine also has the broken crotch issue.

I saw some small cracks on the front and wasn't too concerned but after reading the TFW2005 threads, I took a look at Meg's butt and found a full crack on the left side. Crack is totally from ratchet pressure as I can see it widen when moving the legs.

Debating returning him now or seeing if this is salvageable....
