    Well, i had to take my matrix apart and put it back together. The plastic light part was not pushed all the way in. I had to drop it in boiling water then push the inner plastic out, sand it some to make it go back in easier, spin it around and push it back in all the way. Now, it closes perfectly.

    It left a small dent inside the matrix chamber where the one spike of "energy" stuck out. The core was upside down, which is why i had to spin it.

    Also, with mine, you have to push in on the grille while closing the chest....there is a gap at his waist in the back where if you push down on his shoulders it makes the chest pop open because the grille pops out.

    Sometimes its not just a matter of the matrix being in backwards.

    Still don't see any in stock when checking their website. I wonder if they are mailing out the preorders first before updating their website.

    Mine has shipped as well. Looking forward to finally adding MP-10 to my Masterpiece shelf. This is a must have Masterpiece figure in my opinion.

    Ordered back in early August and still no shipping notice. :p  I suspect they're not being shipped in order of purchase date; it's could be ordered by a) random, b) payment date/time, c) name, or perhaps d) whether free shipping was used (I know Amazon has kind of set the precedent there that free shipping is basically a second class citizen as far as they're concerned). Or maybe e) some combination of the previous. :p 

    Ah well, looking forward to receiving this! =)

    It was within the first couple days of the preorder going up, not sure

    TFSource has free shipping start at $150 and this was $159. They've previously stated that the orders are being processed in the order they were received.

    I did reach out to them on twitter yesterday they said they will try to push it out today but nothing yet. Tfsource service is good they do respond, but not efficient like the bigger retailers like amazon.

    Just received today from TFSource, well worth the wait. Cool thing: I ordered two, and they shipped them in the original case pack (which was inside yet another box with some padding to keep the whole thing intact).
