Did you even check the HongKong Post's Tracking site??

If it hasn't reached the US yet, you'll only get that message. The HK Post office will give you details from what it has on their side.

 

I didn't even know if my set was shipping yet, and it showed up at my door.



I'm surprised at how good they both are, even with my high expectations.

 

I think it's great that they decided to pin the wheels instead of screw them. All of the pictures I've seen show screws in the wheels.

 

Yep, I clicked on the link they supplied, entered the # and the only hing it says it has left HK

 

Maybe yours got hung up in customs? Mine didn't update until it already went through the Flushing, NY sort center, which is the main USPS sort center for stuff coming into NY. Also, sometimes it just doesn't get scanned in, unfortunately.. A lot of times, with cheaper mail services like this, the tracking doesn't update until you've already gotten it. Either way, no point in worrying unless another week goes by and you still don't get it or hear anything.

 

Plug the tracking code in the the USPS system, not the Hong Kong one they give you. That site only tells you when its been shipped out of HK. USPS takes it from there.

 

He already did that... It takes about a day or two before it reaches the US from HK.

 

Mine's been in the UK for two days which means The PO are dicking about with the package. Thanks Royal Fail.

 

I'm not terribly worried, it shipped out on the 16th, just eager after seeing everyone posting their shipment updates. Probably doesn't help I'm in the middle of the country

 

Thanks for the pics and comments, guys. Nice to hear some additional details!

Also, didn't realize the Hasbro and MT Swerve were the... SAME SIZE??? Dang. At that size, I wish he was a little cheaper (didn't the iGear mini's debut at around $20???)

But like others have so wisely mentioned, at the current trouble of find the official Swerve, I'd much rather spend the extra on a custom, 3rd Party Swerve!   In general, I'm a bit shocked that Hasbro is having so much trouble releasing Swerve/Cosmos in sufficient quantity (or maybe the retailers just weren't properly informed of how popular these 2 were going to be?).

Anyone else in favor of seeing more 3rd Party offerings in this scale? I was majorly disappointed when iGear sized up! And as much as I "enjoy" spending $100 on a deluxe/voyager, I'm really happier getting a mini. More affordable. Just like when I was little.   It's like prices leveled up and I still can only afford the minis!    

 

OMG... Make Toys Swerve and Hasbro's are...the SAME SIZE!?!  

I had know idea. For some reason I was thinking that MK's would be at least an inch taller... Kinda' don't know how I feel about that.

From the pics you guys have shown, MK's seems to look good standing along side various Hasbro MTMTE Generations figs. Anybody else surprised by his size as compared to his legends counterpart?

 

I wouldn't compare these to igears as theirs were much simpler figures with half the articulation of MT's. And yeah lots of people have said they'd love more of these. Me I really want a Tailgate, Pipes and Outback.

The Hasbro figures apparently haven't had their proper US release yet but its on the way so they'll be easier to find then.

Nope. Legends Swerve isn't super tiny, just typical legends size and that's what I've expected with these.

 

I, for one, could go for it. I agree that it can be a bit more affordable too.  

I loved I-Gears Huffer and Sea Spray, But after they up-scaled, that was it. I made the mistake of picking up UFO, their version of Cosmos, and IMO it was a total disappointment. Dumb-ass thing had day-glow plastic that looked and felt "cheap"...kinda' like something that would come out of a gumball dispenser. I couldn't justify buying up-scaled legends bots. It just wasn't for me.

Now, if Make Toys took a stab at: Tailgate, Pipes, or Brawn...you can count me in. I'm game!   I'm really thinking this is something that we need to see. I think that MT could knock it out of the park.

Hugh, guess the pic shocked me, that's all. Still looks good in group photos. Speaking of which, I really could use to add a few more MTMTE cast figs to my collection...with some needing to be updated: Rodimus, I'm looking at YOU. Depending on how that Takara Cloud Rodimus from the Yoyager Springer mold turns out, I just might bite. Leaning that way right now.

 

Anybody got a pic of Hasbro Swerve with the MFB?

Last picture, first post. Will require nail polish, floor polish, or super glue to thicken hands enough to hold gun.

 

Thanks! Guess I came late to this party.

 

Took DJ0W's advice and added detailing and an autobot symbol to Trash Talk.

 

Got mine! These are awesome lil dudes. Fully extending the arms was a scary ordeal for each arm, as was tabbing the wrist bits firmly in place so the hands wouldn't flop around. But MT did the job well, sturdy stuff... And the slightly-rubbery hands & wrist-mounts lessen any worries of the mounting posts snapping off by turning the hand the wrong way. Very tight elbow joints.

Now I gotta get some clear-backed Autobot emblems... Looks so much nicer than the white-backed one I've got on Trashtalk right now.

 

I liked the fact that they altered the vehicle modes a bit, good to see that it wasn't a total recycle of the same mold

 

I was actually expecting a larger mark-up, but could still be cheaper if combined in a PoL. I recently added the TT Goldbug and it was only .90 cents due to other stuff I had.
