Seriously, I only need it for my Rodimus shelf. I don't care if it's broken on display.

I love Rodimus Prime but I couldn't bring myself to get this package. Instead, I went for the recently released "other" option. You know. Nod. Nudge. Wink. Cough. The one that makes me a jerk and an accessory to intellectual property theft for owning it. At least nothing was broken out of the box and the toy works like a charm. For MP-09, I'm waiting to see what the domestic release options will be, even if I can't have that sweet trailer. Now I can’t wait for the review.
