Not TCP, but the weirdest shipping mishap I've had in recent memory was a package going to Barcelona.  

I guess at least it was the right hemisphere?

 

Sure. I ended up needing to drill 2 holes after all, using only one didn't provide enough support for his new tail.



Needed a 5/32 bit for the larger peg, and a 7/64 for the smaller.



Best part is, you don't see any evidence of the mods in bot mode. Now.. On to lightening the sword's weight a little.

 

It's their post office. Plus the USPS, as a whole. Those vortex weather delays backed up the entire system by 3-4 days. Some locations are still digging out of the backlog.

My package (and another person's here on the board) didn't update the tracking until it arrived at our local distribution center, which took days after they actually shipped. Then, all of a sudden, on our doorsteps. =\ (label was fine, so was shipping box, so it's not like they couldn't read or scan it. -_-)

I've also had them ship items (USPS, that is) to the other side of the country from the next state over, so there's that... Amazon actually bent over backwards and overnight shipped me a replacement of the item I ordered because the USPS screwed up and it was actually on them. More often than not, though, I have to say the USPS gets the job done.

Thank you! That looks pretty darn good, actually. Huh. Might have to dig out my Dremel.

 

Got the kit installed last night. I like it a lot! Looks good and adds a bit of heft to Predaking too.

 

Got mine yesterday from TFsource. Got the fillers and two ratchets.
I am quite pleased overall. Minor bits on the sword, but frankly, they add character. It's a sword. It's meant to look used a bit, at least in my view.

Well worth it.

 

Be warned if you get missing guns/ratchets from tfsource. They say they are not the manufacturer so you have to pay to send the kit back and they will send a new replacement set. That’s kinda bullshit but I wouldn’t recommend using tfsource by anyone anymore.

 

That's a shame. Weren't they the ones who used to send out replacement parts for the MP Ramjet fiasco, or was that BBTS?

 

Got mine today from BBTS, few paint scratches on the sword and wings, but that’s no big deal to me. The only other issue is it only came with one shoulder ratchet replacement. I’ve contacted BBTS customer service and they asked for pictures. I’ve sent them, but it was after closing time, so I probably won’t hear anything till Monday

 

Just be ready, it may not be until Tuesday, unless they're open on President's Day

 

O _ o

That's garbage person behavior. Shame on them.

 

True, forgot about that...waited this long, guess he can wait a little longer for his upgrades

 

The sword hilt on mine does not appear to be glued in straight the base of the sword.

What is the best way to remove the glue so I can separate the two parts and glue them back myself?

Also, the new grey ratchet seems loose when moving the arm above predakings head, to the point where slides too freely. Is this because I removed thin black plastic trip that was originally inside the shoulder ? I have no idea where to put that thing
Never mind, realized I had the new ratchet piece in the wrong direction

 

So is it supposed to come with one ratchet or two? The instructions make it seem like there is only supposed to be one for Rampage

I'm starting to wonder though if there had been some miscommunication inside the factory. Say, one person along the assembly line, being told different instructions at the beginning for example.

 

@Scott_XIII @Decepticreeps100 Final call: Have you guys had any word from Kapow?

 

My thoughts exactly. I even tried taking mine apart to see if I could cut and inch out of that "wing meat".. No luck. Looks like I COULD do it, but I wouldn't have enough plastic left there to anchor the feathered side strongly enough. (the plastic coming out of the orange section would be too thin to set a proper anchor)
