    In hands, the head looks smaller too?

    Urgh... Tell me what stores you guys ordered from and I'll be sure to use them in the future. This waiting is killing me. I'm getting my fill with all these reviews and photos and I'm just afraid I'm not going to be as excited once he's in hand.

    I have him ordered on TFDirect at the moment. All it says so fair is “Awaiting Shipping.” Not sure if this means they’re waiting to receive a shipment or my order is processing. Hopefully the latter.

    I believe sir...that you have brought back some logic to this thread, which may or may not be against the rules? But I thank you for that bit of logic droppage. ;) 

    Got home to receive my shipping notice...I'm so glad it was faster than was stated ;)  Since my payment completion was a month before yours....glad WJ either was able to complete more or showz was able to procure more. ++ now I either will get the short end of the straw or long end for delivery, you never can tell.

    I'm still sour that show.z is making me wait for the second batch, despite having ordered a month before the pre-orders sold out.

    I hope it was just poor management on their part... If it turns out that they deliberately let it oversell...

    Impossible.

    It was weird on the original MPM and it’s weird here too. Can’t speak for others, but I personally was just hoping they’d fix it somehow. Especially if the BMB head can fit on this one and still transform apparently. But I can understand why BA didn’t do it

    The disproportionate head is glaring in a couple of pictures where the head and the chest is raised like dude's wearing a turtle neck sweater.

    In hand that doesn't seem to be much of a problem... Or I'm already used to the head after having 4 trucks of the same MPM mold so far.

    My ship notices usually come about 1-2 am from them so maybe in 6 more hours since I preordered a long time ago.

    I got my shipping notice, because it was in my spam folder (go fig), though I'll probably won't see it until I come back from my vacation.

    Okay so just to be clear; the way the chest and abdomen kibble transforms means we have to choose between the hood sticking out of the abdomen awkwardly and the windows not closing in all the way creating a massive gap in his chest right? Because I can live with the hood sticking out a bit more than the windows being so far apart and high up.

    No side hip ratchets.

    There's an ab crunch but it tends to get the ab piece untabbed in my case so far if I weren't careful.

    Also the back pieces have this asymmetrical look when they are tabbed in which I'm not sure can be rectified yet.

    Do you have a picture of what you are referring to with the back?

    For those who have received him this far, what is the consensus? Are you please? Disappointing? Little of both? Why?

    Man that dampens my enthusiasm a lot. Hopefully they won’t get loose, but my white MPM Prime did so on an even larger figure, I’m hesitant.

    The asymmetrical back issue is the first I’ve heard of that. Weird

    Still have my day job to do so no messing extensively with this thing yet. Also the figure's kinda heavy so I get a bit of goosebump when handling it.

    Dude, your copy was assembled incorrectly. Look at the flat wall parts where there’s a white outline on the cab. Looks like they put one two left pieces but with the light strip added and oriented correctly and even painted the right way and then slapped it on ur figure

    Not sure about that. The left and right pieces are always supposed to be different.

    Messed around a little bit and got the panels lined up better more or less.

    the gas tube behind one of blue pieces is positioned bad and that makes the back parts lock wrong, then the red pieces of the gas tanks aren't locked properly to red parts below

    Ebay:
    Unfold the chrome vent/flap that should be on top of the sleeper panel, and see if that makes a difference!

    Also are the gas tanks fully slid into position? They slide side to side.
