    I don't know what the big deal is about the price of MP Rodimus? MP-04 Convoy/Optimus average price is $200.

    I sent Tf source a email wondering if they sent out my fp sets order? I would think that those who ordered this set in the beginning should have their sets out before anyone else or even posting it in stock. It just says to me that they do not care about those who are will to give up their money months ahead and does not show any respect.

    Collectors have been waiting a long time for the sets.

    Where are they?:mad

    Well, the Rodimus Price doesn't bug me that much because that is how much MP-04 cost. When you think about it.... it really isn't a bad deal with everything you get. if its a lot for you... just hope a hasbro version is released somewhere down the road.

    I'm not getting my hopes up for that and I've already preordered this bad boy! Now, give me galvatron!!!

    Oh and... I'd like my Bruticus upgrades too. I preordered within the first hour it was open but my order is a bit complicated as I will be receiving 400 dollars worth of stuff so a tiny delay is cool.

    Still... it sucks everyone else is already enjoying the set:redface2:

    I'm sure there is nothing to worry about. Curt and the team do a fantastic job, if they say they're waiting on Fedex to collect the package, I see no reason to doubt them. Bear in mind this is an insanely popular and well-anticipated item that no doubt has dozens if not hundreds of preorders to be filled. It's going to take time.

    I'm figuring b/c MP04 is roughly twice as big (going by a comparison shot seen next to Grimlock) and the die cast content is more than likely (not confirmed, that I am aware of) more than Rodimus. And judging by the last MP (seeker and Grim) it will be consideribly less than OP.

    I can't believe how impatient some people are. Just chill. Bullet proof shipping takes time. These guys go the extra mile to get you the best packages and then they protect it with all that nice bubble. I love the attention they out in to their shipping. it may take a little more time but its worth it for the quality.

    The FP add-on sets haven't shipped to me yet either and I live only 14 miles from one of their warehouses. It's understandable though, because they have a central location and several locations to send their products to. "In stock" means the central location has them and is sending them out to their hubs. Once I receive the ship notification, it arrives the next day. I'm impressed with their packaging and expediency. That's why I continue to do business with them. Now just waiting for Classics Crystal Sons of Cybertron and Justitoys Comic Dinobots. My guess is they will both arrive in September.

    As it's been said many times in other related threads, people aren't necessarily impatient because of TFSource's ability to ship out their packages. Their impatience is due to the long wait overall. Some people have been waiting since February for these sets (7 months) and have bared through 5 delays (April, May, June, July, and August) without an official, concrete release date from FansProject and, thus, no official, concrete date on when TFSource's shipment of Explorer and Munitioner would arrive. Naturally, people are going to be impatient (myself included).

    Should the sets have arrived earlier, people would (most likely) be more patient.

    Take it as "I've been waiting 7 months for this thing to come out and not knowing exactly when" rather than "HURRY UP TFSOURCE, YOU FAIL!"
