    Yup. My version is also very tight. I love green Giant. It looks like a tower.

    Yes to both. The reason I think it will be October is that I think when they said it ships 3rd week of September I think they meant it ships from the factory. Which means a 1-2 week wait until it gets to the store, then maybe another week until its at your front door, that would make it early to mid October.

    Although nothing would make me happier if I'm wrong lol.

    Thats not a quality control issue. That's a 'some bozo in the factory didn't do his job properly' issue.

    Quality control would have been if the wheels snapped off just from your mate looking at Scrapper

    ...But some bozo at the factory not doing his job is exactly the sort of thing that proper QC is supposed to catch.

    Sounds like just (bad) luck of the draw, like if he came packaged missing parts or accessories. Doesn't sound like it's endemic to every single figure produced a la TFC's Heavy Labor hip ratchet joints being janky enough to call for a running change fix (added lube, inclusion of an extra set of hips knowing full well the ratchets are badly designed and prone to breakage; also see MP-09 v1).

    Last time I wrote to them, the displayed date was when they expected to have them in stock, not shipped from factory. I wasn't doubting your honesty or anything btw, just wanted to know where you got that from.

    Still, really hope we get it this month.

    Thats good to know then if thats what they said directly. I hope they get it in by then. Thankfully there have been plenty of other amazing third party and other toy releases to keep me occupied. Not to mention Fall of Cybertron.

    Anyone else have an issue with Front Loader having that gap in leg mode? Where the engine goes.

    Just looks like it needs something there. Would not have been bad if they had a panel fold over and cover it.
