    I got you beat by having mine shipped one day prior! Ha! But seriously, it's been stuck at "Origin Post is Preparing Shipment -> We have received notice that the originating post is preparing to dispatch this mail piece" since the 27th, so that sucks, and I feel your pain. I messaged ShowZ via his site today, so hopefully they'll be able to provide something, anything maybe, possibly!? Haha, I don't know whether to laugh or cry, but I will say that my TE-01 that I ordered a week later got in yesterday, so there's that glimmer of progress.

    Sounds like you're trying to track it with USPS (or whomever your domestic carrier is). So it's probably not that there aren't any updates, it's just that USPS doesn't update until they have possession of the package. Try using 17track.net or an app like Aftership so you can track it on the Chinese carrier's side.

    Yea same here. Showz always provides the tracking on two different sites and those are accurate. My Gaudenter was ordered after yours and he is in customs right now so not sure why yours got stuck. Good luck.

    Just got a PO payment request for Metallic Red from ShowZ. This is strange, GP isn't doing the six months wait. :p .

    Expensive month at least. I've got:
    Metallic Gaudeter
    FT Motormaster
    2 XTB Stunticons
    XTB Seaspray
    And I'm just hoping there's no surprise Iron Factory releases...

    Is that a pretty accurate gauge of imminent release? Haven't ordered from showz, so wondering if his payment request/"in coming" label on the site means that it in actuality it's very close to release?

    If true, I'm just shocked that there isn't a much, much longer time of wait, as per usual...

    Mine is stuck too. One tracking shows it doesn't exist and 17net shows origin post since 3/27. I messaged ShowZ to see if they had tracking I couldn't see and am awaiting a response.

    Ironically I order THF Magnus 2 weeks later and it's in Jersey. Same shipping method, Large Package.

    Usually, so far, it means its showing up in the next week or two. At least from my experience with PO items from him.

    My blue chrome was shipped the same day as yours and it's been 4 weeks... I got one of two packages containing my Zeta Kronos from ShowZ already, arrived 2-3 days ago, and these were shipped after Gaudenter.

    I'm not sure why this is taking longer than usual.

    It might be stuck in customs?

    Late to the party! Just put a pre-order in for the blue chrome version before it's too late for the extra goodies. It just looks like gold in my eyes! With my favorite color being blue and seeing this in chrome makes the kid in me scream with excitement. I can't wait for it to arrive and crossing my fingers for little to no issues. Also going to end up getting the blue metallic version as well to go with the rest of the bots! This will be my first and only chrome figure! Can't Wait! Woot Woot!

    I'm in the same boat. Placed the order back in 3/18. Is stuck at 3/27 and the other tracking doesn't exist as well. Shot them a msg the other day and have yet to hear back.
