    I really wish my tracking number would update. I'm actually starting to think it might have gotten lost somewhere.

    Did you order from overseas? If so have you used the tracking number on USPS.com? If that is the case track the number there. Often times the tracking number wont update once it leaves the originating Country.

    Ordered mine on Saturday from Kapow and didn't expect such a quick arrival, so I missed the delivery this morning. Needless to say I'm going to pick the guy up tomorrow, first thing, and I really can't wait! I'm cautious with Snarl after what's been said, but I'm also confident enough in Planet X, that I'm not expecting any issues.

    My Dinobot display is itching for this guy!

    I did and I have. It left hongkong on the 16 and there's been no update since. I'm thinking of contacting RK about it but I don't know what they could do.

    Maybe it got lost in the mail. I would assume they bought insurance. Try to get another one sent out. You should ask now, RK can be slow with emails, especially if you need something.

    Mine are loose as well, but is this actually an issue?


    It doesn't seem to hurt anything.

    It's a loose pin joint, so just apply a drop of future floor polish around the pin, work it around to get it in between the pin and the plastic, then let it sit for about twenty four hours. After that, move it around to see if it's tight enough, and if not then repeat the process.

    Got him! He's amazing and just so beautiful! Tricky to balance at times though I feel that's expected, but my major issue with him is I'm running out of space to display them! Argh!

    Those damned screw hole tabs were a nightmare to put in. I really wish I didn't put them in for Caelus and Neptune beforehand.

    Also, how is everyone tucking the two big plates behind the robot head? I can't seem to get that to work.

    I tried to shave all excess plastic off the screw cover caps, but yeah they're a tight fit. The plates behind the head are just kinda back a little so he has clearance when turning his head. I too have stress and slight cracks so I try not to mess with them too much but they currently do what they need to. One of these days I'll add a bit of glue in there to make sure any cracks or stress mark points are at least somewhat filled / reinforced.

    Do not push the two big plates down on the back. They're supposed to sit sticking up behind the head.

    They're on a pin joint and there is not enough room to move them past the gold plastic section behind them. ElekTriC's were so loose that his could do that, but if people try to force it they're just going to damage the clear plastic sections.

    You should go for it, especially if you have a WFC/FOC display.

    Agreed. I picked up a large haul the other day and I've really only paid attention to Summanus. I have him sitting beside Evila Star who is out of the box just sitting there, and Muddy... who hasn't even made it out of the box.

    I wish I could cancel my TFS order and pick this up elsewhere. In fact, not being able to cancel a preorder seems absolutely bonkers to me and is just another reason I will not be using them again. Of course, I've never actually canceled an order anywhere before, so this could be normal practice.

    Tons of places let you cancel a preorder... tfsource, bbts, chosen prime. Of the top of my head, those I know for sure let you. If TFsource doesn't, maybe it's because it came into stock already... I think that might make it tough to cancel since it begins to actually process your order with payment and what not.
