    How long was the typical shipping time for you?

    I usually pay for the EMS which was somewhat quick. Maybe a week or a bit longer. Once I paid for the second fastest tier which took almost two weeks (I was trying to avoid signing for the package, which in the end still had to sign for it).

    Never tried the cheapest one so can't comment on that.

    I think the cheapest option is SAL ECO or something like that. It takes weeks. That said, the price difference between EMS and SAL ECO isn't that big, and EMS is typically less than 5 business days in good weather and nominal conditions (longer if you have, er, snow).

    Due to all the excitement for Optimus Prime, Bluestreak and Bumblebee, you would almost forget about Wheeljack, so here's a reminder: just seven more days until Wheeljack is released! :)

    If you pretend to be a hardcore toon enthusiast, this is basically like the first MP Wheeljack ... this collector’s Masterpiece cherry, it feels like prom all over again :)

    Why did Exhaust never get the proper 3P KO Chinese representation on the full Marlboro tip?? ... or did ppl feel the stickers/decals approach was sufficient and said f-it?

    Sold my MP-20 back around September 2016. Gonna be a sweet reunion <3

    Because KO makers never take initiative or do anything original. Except for that gold MP-12, I guess!

    Alas KO manufacturers are a) not fans and b) rely on people who want copies of the official versions. There are a couple of notable exceptions (including some of the oversized KO companies) but for the most part expectations should be kept low.

    As such they've been missing the opportunity to beat Takara to the punch with + style repaints or minor mould changes based on popular gripes for years.

    Yup exactly. So many small changes they could've made to characters to appeal to people who usually would avoid KOs. We could've easily had a + repaint of Wheeljack, but they simply don't care enough. Only thing they ever changed was adding rubber tyres to a couple of them.

    I didn't start collecting until MP-14+ was already a thing, so I held off on Wheeljack figuring he was a lock for a toon repaint. So, this will be my first time owning a WJ from any line ever, actually! Always one of my favorite characters due to being an engineer.

    Yes it did but he said it wasn't a final production model. Neither is this one, mind you, it's clearly a test shot. I just hope they don't fuck it up again!

    Fucking Bay and his fucking morality deterioration agenda. Guess I'm gonna have to scratch this off and use a water decal. Pardon my English lads, but this is major pet peeve territory for me.
