    Fair to say LL hasn't had the best start in all fairness. Once they get back to the actual ship and deal with Getaway et al we might start to see some more compelling storylines. While I'm keen to see what happens with Nautica, I can't say it's the agonising wait it used to be. The only thing nudging me toward IDW's ROM book is Milne's art, I don't have any affinity for the character.

    The Asterisk colour scheme does far more for the figure than the standard version as it highlights a lot more detail. Honestly I'm just dying for the SXS version to come out so I can have a pre-LL Rodimus and then this more striking version. At least I have a smirking red Rodimus for the moment and a more stoic, vengeful Rodimus on my shelves. Amazing what one little smirk can do for the feel of a toy.

    Looking forward to MMC's DJD-inspired reissues so I can get Tarn's gang together :)

    Not sure how much MMC CS can help, but you might try asking them as well. Or message PSX on FB.

    Yes, but I paid for the EMS shipping option and it arrived 4 days after it was marked shipped.

    Recently, non-EMS packages have been taking 2 extra weeks for me.

    Any of you guys happen to be in Canada? Vangelus mentioned possible delays from customs (admittedly completely anecdotal).

    Here is the response I got from PSX and that is 10 days ago.

    "Just checked with post office.

    Please give it more time, as the delivery was affected by the terrible weather recently in Asia and US, a lot of connecting flights were canceled and delayed, post offices have been overwhelmed handling the packages when they surged in after the storm.

    We are very sorry about the inconveniences. Hope this helps."

    Basically, due to the storms that had passed through China and the US, most of the shipments have been held by customs. At least, that's how I've read their response.

    Enjoyed the transformation on this, a welcome change from other MMC figures. None are complex but atleast this is kinda different.
