    Hey guys so I’m going to order the set B from show z but I also want to pick up the bottleneck barricade. Should I get it from eBay which is like $12 cheaper at around 33-35 or just get it from show z which is 46? Thanks!

    The two choppers in that pick are distinctly different to each other - the 2 in the pics above that post are not.

    My Hide Shadow/Blackout arrived today - He's bulkier than I thought, having trouble posing him with the other 2007 movie figs in the space I have set aside.

    The super stallion may be but I don't think this:

    Is a Super Stallion and has exactly the same dimensions as a Pave Low.

    Can somebody post a picture of this in heli mode with some Mega Bloks minifigures? Please? Trying to see how they look compared to the two little little tiny army men that come with it.

    Wouldn't Mega Bloks figures be more in scale with the MPM cars (BB & Barri)?

    No. They're a bit small. They scale with original trilogy figures.

    BB and Barri are approx. 1/30 scale.
    MPM4 and MP10 are approx. 1/35 scale.
    Megablox figures, LEGO minifigs and MP10 Spike are around 1/45 scale - same as the oversized seekers. I think (though I haven't measured it yet) this Weijiang Blackout is also around 1/45 scale.

    I have done that with an OS seeker but can't get the damn photos of my phone (don't ask :)  ) - anyway, they look about right, around 1/45 scale each and a nice fit for MP10 Spike to pilot.

    Way too big for a 1/60 MP seeker though.

    Mine came on Christmas Eve, and so went under the tree. Opened him Christmas Day and he is a sight to behold.

    This is my first figure from Wei Jiang, and I'm very impressed with this one.

    These are the first pictures which really captured the enormity of this figure (for me). Definitely on my short list for 2019.

    Mine arrived a little over a week ago and I've just begun playing around with this guy the last couple of days and mine has two right biceps...:confused: 
    I didn't think much of it but there is a piston molded into the back side of this bicep piece which when installed on the left arm is facing forwards which slightly impacts the range of motion of the left forearm. This also becomes an issue when trying to transform and fold the arm up into the "wing" piece, the molded piston prohibits the arm from fully pushing up into place which is a bummer! I tried rotating the bicep around but the way it is designed doesn't seem to allow for that.

    I'm not sure this is a deal breaker for me to return it since he will be in bot mode most of the time and I am thinking about just removing the small molded piston on the front of the left bicep...

    Not sure if anyone else has ran into this yet...

    I’d just ask the seller for a replacement piece and install it yourself

    Rounds off my 2007 movie display nicely - whilst just fitting in the space I have set aside.

    This looks very nice. From which firm are the three others?

    Finally arrived yesterday from Show.Z.

    Wife stated that the robots arriving recently are all huge. :p

    I'm excited for someone to provide accurate decals but man, the Engrish is amazing on this guy.

    No issues other than some moisture on the rotor housing out of the box. It spent 11 days in NY upon arrival, maybe the warehouse was cold.

    I have no other Bayformers. I suspect this guy will hang out in alt mode in the garage for a bit.
