    This thread motivated me to preorder the December restock from robot kingdom. Simply beautiful, and I've never been a fan of non-transforming TFs.

    thank you!

    it's a shame that the swords didn't come with handle attachments. what i did is just got a long piece of tape and rolled it around and down starting at the ball joint. it holds quite well.

    Hmm.. I wonder if gundam polycaps can be used to make the handle bit somewhat thicker...

    God... let's have a Black version of this already! That is too darn good! Hope they make a truck replica too so you can display it in Robot and truck mode at the same time. Awesome! Hope they do Megatron. That would be awesome as well.

    Er...Holy privacy concerns. You might not want to go posting addresses publicly on the internet where they can be connected to you. All sorts of potential for problems. :)

    Goddamn the box is huge.

    I am only on like step 6 or 7 now. The rubber hose around the neck is a real bitch to get on properly. I ended up disassembling the head taking it off then attached it to the silver chest piece, then wrapped it back around the neck and then reassembled the head.

    I also recommend putting the socket cup on the ball first before assembling the head/neck around them.

    I skipped ahead and did a couple fingers too. I am just using a candle and mini screwdriver. Practice on one of the sprue trees to get a feel for it and you will be fine.

    Fuck.

    I finished putting mine together, and it looks great...........except they gave me two of the same damn piece!!!!! :banghead: 

    I got two of the same red flame wheel pieces for the right leg. Each kit should have:

    1x A1
    1x A2

    I got

    2x A2

    This is the second time in the last week I have gotten a Transformer product with the same piece (last week SDCC Blaster with 2 right hands).

    I emailed Ami AMi and hope to god they have the piece. Not much else I can do until then :(
