    Tried to transform my copy today and one pin came off :( 
    Then the parts of the truck on his forearms... (it was my fault on one of them)

    I don't know if I am going to pick two... If I can get a replacement I will try to transform him again...

    This figure is beautiful in hand. I probably won't ever transform it though.

    I have contacted ShowZ and they'll send me replacement parts. Hope he's fine after that.

    Emgo did his review and nothing popped off or broke aside from the left hip skirt which is common. He even said he had transformed it several times before shooting the review. So I have hope. I get mine tomorrow

    Don't use the instructions!!! The instruction sheet sometimes says pull things that are not meant to be pulled lol! Watch Emgo and Ben videos to help you with the transformation!

    I own two copies, one is GREAT, the other is GARBAGE, so be cautious with your figure. Luckily for me I will get a replacement!

    If TFEVO and UT next releases are solid, then AAT will be out of business quickly unfortunately...

    I hope Gcreation Grimlock is going to be perfect too! Their MP IDW line is great!

    I received my copy on Saturday, and I'm both super impressed, and just plain terrified.
    I don't think I'm going to bother transforming this guy, but holy crap does he look good standing on my shelf.
    His paint apps are brilliant, and his accessories are absolutely gorgeous.
    No regrets on my purchase.

    There’s a contact email address on their site. I’d give it to you but I emailed them from my work email and I don’t have access right now. Just tell them your order # and send them pics of the broken pieces.

    Wow, the description on the figure's box sounds just like one of those spam posts that pop up on the movie thread every once in a while.
