    It looks like he hasn't been around since then, really would like to know what became? Hopefully resolved somehow?

    Agreed. I am inclined to believe the guy so I hope whatever happened he got compensated by someone. I can't imagine how crushing that would feel. Spending all this money, waiting ALL this time to receive it... then to receive it and boom, it's empty. Nightmare scenario.

    My order for Prime shipped! It was supposed to get here yesterday, but the postal service got slow or something and it looks like it'll get here Monday. Does anyone know if this will require a signature?

    Varies.

    Also, are they still doing TLK Megatron? Or was that canceled?

    Why would you think it's canceled? Their stuff ALWAYS takes a long time from anouncement/sample reveal to delivery (more than a year on more than 1 occasion). Honestly I'm shocked how fast they've gotten their deluxes for the BB movie out.

    Some figures they've discussed doing have been canceled- but I'm not aware of any figure that made it to the sample/color proto stage ever being canceled.

    I got Prime and he is great! Really beautiful in person and possibly my new favorite of the 3A figures that I have, the other two being DOTM Megatron and Starscream. I am glad that I was able to get the exclusive version with the regular head although the Nemesis version is good too.

    I have one issue though: the left thigh piece that extends the whole leg downward is super loose after only extending it once and it won’t lock back into place. I am not entirely sure what to do about it either.

    Maybe it's just me but after comparing the figure to the CGI model, I feel like 3A overdid the weathering a bit on this guy (at least in some areas).

    3A-TLK-Optimus-Prime-033.jpg

    It works if you look at certain scenes like this one where he is battered up after that hard landing: Screenshot (167).png

    But in most scenes the metal on him has a kinda shiny looking surface as supposed to the figure which feels rougher in comparison and not as sharp in details from up close.

    Again, maybe it's just me since I never actually held the figure in hand. The dlx scale Prime is a good example of how 3A managed to add the weathering while keeping the smooth looking surface just like in the movie (could be because some parts are diecast?). I could see myself waiting on them to do the bayverse bots in the dlx scale but that would be a gamble (I heard their licences are only for one movie at a time and for a limited time). I was really looking forward to get him to be my grail and couldn't help but notice these things as I'm all about the accuracy.

    What do ya'll think?
