Origin Post is Preparing Shipment -> We have received notice that the originating post is preparing to dispatch this mail piece.

^My shipment has said this for the past 3 days^ is this normal?

Also, +1 for an upgraded sticker sheet for this. Great price but the figure could use some more detail

 

Short answers... yes, sure, nah.

Mixmaster cab upgrade in effect: Heavy/Scratch: - UZTS Mixmaster Cab for KO Mini CW Devastator

 

Do you guys think for getting it in box and in good condition at the best price, its better to order from Aliexpress Giftlove or Smartlulup, One Day bid off ebay(not sure how you got free shipping on it for 45$?) or Sarah Zhang? Ive never tried Aliexpress...do they use Paypal?

 

How are people reacting to seeing it at the fair?  

 

Aliexpress rules. Giftlove and Smartlulup are solid sellers.

 

Answered a question, and offered 2 rebuttals.  

 

Just got home and the wife said this was waiting for me....



Now to open and pray...

 

What seller sent that to you, if I may ask?

 

SirToys. He didn’t destroy it, but the post offices around the world tap danced on it.

Took them out and transformed them.

Quality is ok. It’s not as good as real, but also not the dollar store KO’s either. You can tell they’re more brittle. I worry about long term. Only major issues I had were a cracker Bonecrusher, Scrapper with swapped hands, and Hook’s flipping waist won’t stay pegged together. Ball joints need tightened but I do that for my Hasbro releases as well.

Scrapper can be fixed (I don’t have the tool to do it though. Any help?). Bonecrusher makes me sat because I know it’ll eventually crumble. And Hook is just annoying.

All in all, worth $35 or so shipped. Probably not $50 (what I paid). I hope I can at least fix Hook and Scrapper. Bonecrusher I may put super glue in his crack.. (heh)

I’ll combine them after I do some grocery shopping.

 

Got my package from Sirtoys today, overall not bad and the perfect size for my display. Just had to swap Scrapper's hands with a pin pusher tool (3 minute job) and some reprolabels to cover up the emblems. Hook's waist does indeed have trouble clipping together.

Comparison with Maketoys Giant (apologies for the mistransformed right leg on the KO Devy):






Before, the Hasbro versions dominated the Decepticon group shot on my shelf, even from the back row:


After, the Constructicons are now harder to spot, but with the added space I was able to add in more Seekers (Rainmakers, Welcoming Committee and a generic purple Air Warrior) to the group:



For my chug display Constructicon representation I’ve used the classics (repaint of Energon toys), the KO Intelligence Warrior set (it’s awful), Maketoys Green Giant, TFC Hercules and finally Hasbro Devy but I think this latest shrunken down version is the one, just needs some add ons!

 

Thanks...is one Aliexpress seller better than the other to get boxed items in good condition? Do they use Paypal?

 

Most sellers I’ve used on Ali don’t accept paypal, but I think smartlulup has in that past. There’s a small fee for using it though.

Unfortunately I don’t think either of them or giftlove are offering the undersized devastator boxed.

 

Smartlulup has it back available

 

That physical damage to Bonecrusher, did that happen due to shipping, or is that something Sirtoys missed when doing QC checks? I thought per what was stated in prior post that Sirtoys was doing quality checks on these before shipping out. Maybe he can send you out a replacement figure from some spares?

 

Love those classic seeker! I got into collecting a little late in the game, and was not able to get all the CHMS ones.
