No update on the tracking info on mine. Seems like people receiving them randomly.

 

For those waiting on a tracking update...mine registered as pre-shipment (origin post) from the 19th up until this morning when it suddenly showed it out for delivery.

 

Yeah, I experienced something similar. Mine didn't update on the USPS site until it arrived customs (and then cleared, almost immediately afterwards) last week. I only knew it left Asia when I checked the Hong Kong (?) site and it indicated it had left the country, but that info was never reflected on the USPS site.

 

These guys are tiny little balls of awesome. Just be careful before trying to bend the elbows that the arm is pulled out FULLY. Pull the arm ALL the way out else I could foresee someone snapping the plastic on the arm that the elbow clears when everything is fully extended. I tugged on mine a little bit thinking it was the ratchet and thank goodness I checked the arm before trying to force it.

 

Got mine today as well. USPS tracking was stuck in Kearny, NJ sort facility since last week, then part way through the morning it populated the rest and was out for delivery.

These guys are pretty tiny, but I was expecting that. Cubex Huff is a veritable giant compared to these two.

 

I don't think anyone has made mention of Cogwheel's gun. It's actually two pieces that can rotate and split so you can get the tab into the vehicle mode without the scope getting in the way. The instructions just had the gun peg on, but trying it out of the box the scope bumps the side of the vehicle.

 

got mine from actionrobo today! woooooooo

 

Previous pictures showed the rotated barrel, might be why it wasn't explicitly mentioned (also, something that was mentioned but probably not enough--the gun is actually modeled on the rivet gun Swerve accidentally shoots Rung with!)

 

Huff looks downright somber when compared to this rather happy-go-lucky appearing Trash-Talk!  

 

Makes sense. I couldn't figure it out until I accidentally twisted the barrel. Interestingly enough I think the gun peg for the barrel is 5mm.

Anyway I stand by what I said. These guys are great little dudes. It's refreshing that something so small is solid and simple, especially for Maketoys. I set them down next to a kneeling Aranea on my desk and she's still taller than Swerve! Also every transformer should make an effort to have a waist balljoint. It's not needed for any transformation step but man is it a welcome addition.

 

Mine was last seen less than an hour from me. Hopefully he'll be delivered soon!

 

i want someones Gears pm if selling

 

They are awesome

Follow Up.
Wow the joints are tight, but in a good way I think. TT screams personality and I went Facemask on CW gives him a unique look. CW also dual wields the black guns while TT polishes his MFB.

My only let down is the peg sizes, I mean come on with such a cool accessory that the drink tray and drinks are it sucks that no other figure can really hold them securely

 

So yeah, these guys are pretty awesome

It was a pain to get the wrists to snap and the elbows are maybe a lotta bit tight but I dig these guys. Oh yes I do <3

 

Got the dreaded slip saying a signature was required. Foiled.

 

I don't know? How Many crew members are on the Lost Light?  

 ...No, wait...That's actually sad.   Are they that notoriously bad?

I see a lot of you guys holding out for Chimungmung. I'm surprised by the dedication to this store that I have honestly heard so little about. Kinda' reminds me of the fans who almost exclusively shop from Orson of CapturedPrey.

Is it because of this guy, "Tony"? Or is there some other factors? Starting to wonder if this is one of those "best kept secret" fan-run shops or something. Please chime in cause I would love to know.  

 

Yeeeppppp... now I have to make time to get to the post office. .-.

 

Tony is an independent seller in hong kong who like Robotkingdom due to being in hong kong tends to get stock of a number of figures before they hit the US market. He claims he's getting TT and CW in this week.

His shipping is fast and very affordable and he always reponds to emails very promtly and his prices although sometimes a little inflated get balanced out by his great shipping costs. He's essentially the only seller in china that stocks a lot of third party stuff that even Robo doesn't (due to their falling out with the big 3; FP, MT n MMC) and sells them online and runs an english website that ships worldwide. So yeah, consider him the Captured Prey of china. Dood runs an awesome business that I proudly support.

 

I want these guys bad. I haven't felt this anxious for a figure in a long time....
Damn you Action Robo. You have fooled me twice. My wallet will yield to you for now on.

 

Got mine today and I love them. I think Gears may be harder to find singly once people get these in hand, I think he's the better of the two overall. Trash-talk with My First Blaster is proudly going in my Lost Light display, but Cogwheel with the visor face and rivet gun is going right into my pocket and going everywhere with me. Love him.

These guys hit that PERFECT balance of complexity, playability, and pocketability for me. Car Crash came really close, but Cogwheel just nails it. He feels like a perfect upgrade of the old minibot. I got to play with him a few times when I was a kid since just about every one of my friends had him, but despite really liking him in the old Marvel comic, Gears was one of the few minibots I never owned growing up, so finally having this great little guy just gives me the fuzzies.

That said, if anyone IS selling their extra Gears, hit me up; I wouldn't mind a second to display with his regular face on my Lost Light shelf.
