    I gotta say, I'm surprised this thread isn't locked or moved into the main Amazon G2 news thread.

    Because, yes, it's awesome to know that people's have arrived, 1) it's kinda expected since the shipping notice was posted earlier this week (by yours truly in fact) and 2) should be posted in the original thread.

    It just doesn't deserve it's own thread.

    It's the same price on Amazon, just that Amazon offers free shipping for it. I paid 1.98 to ship mine from BBTS since it was part of a POL, so that's pretty damn cheap for S&H.

    I have mine though i am hesitant to open it after the breakage incident with my FOC Jazz (one of the rear pegs thats holds the rear wheel pannel in place broke) so im thinking i may just leave the thing in the box. I do love the retro-style g2 packaging...all that garish G2 Goodness...LOVE IT!!!

    Yay, got mine today...but my Onslaught is missing 1/2 of one of his arms. I guess they were mad that I paid for 2/3 of it with gift cards, lol.

    Or maybe it was just a "Pre-Order" item that wasn't expected to ship until mid-late November. Could be that, too. :D

    Also to people thinking its vanished from their "Your Orders" tab, make sure you change the drop down thing to say all of 2012 instead of just the last 30 days. That freaked me out at first too, but if you increase the range of stuff for it to show, it should be listed.

    Also if anyone cares, mine shipped out yesterday & is expected (according to them anyway) to arrive on Dec 7th. I live in Canada, and I dunno. Good luck to anyone involved hah. :)

    Got mine earlier this week. Awesome in box, not so fun out of box. Figures are so flimsy (the peg holes on Onslaught's gun have cracks in them for where it fits on his back in Bruticus form, and the holes for his vehicle form got cracks after ONE time mounting it on his roof). Still love Brawl, and they each have...some quality here or there that I like. Lack of paint I was expecting (will paint myself). But this cheap, KO feel to the plastic bothers me. It also scares me to attach and remove limbs for Bruticus...with this plastic something's going to break.

    Glad I got it, if only because of the price point. I just have to decide if I'm going to leave them out or put them back in the box for display. Which I don't usually do. But besides the quality, the box is just fun--it'll give me a reason to keep it if I put them back.

    I swore I would only get one version of this guy. Was gonna be the G2 version since it was the cheapest, but then HTS had that 20% off with free shipping deal so the retail version ended up being the same price, and was available sooner. So I bought it. Got it, and love it. It's no Maketoys Giant, but for the price, it's hella fun. So the G2 version has been calling out to me.. The "Dudicus" factor makes me want those colors... I saw Amazon had it in stock with free shipping, so I ordered it yesterday. *sigh* I'm so weak. :lol

    Received mine last week as well. Exactly the same as the BBTS one. Think I've had my BBTS one for over a month now. Very surprised Amazon was 2nd to market in anything that's an exclusive.

    Got the e-mail saying it shipped yesterday, and saw it on my doorstep today. That was fast.

    'Course, I'm not opening it until Christmas...
