    I was looking to get some feedback on TFS EXPRESS how long does it take to get stuff delivered in the USA. I don’t even know where they are located but I’m thinking UK but not sure. Also basically any feedback regarding them.

    The shipping option I selected which is the cheapest says 6-8 days, that sounds awfully quick if it’s not coming from the USA.

    Thanks

    From left to right; neutral face, screaming face, smiling face.

    Zooming in on the middle face, that dark part behind his mouth is sticking out a tiny bit.

    Could that cause the face to stick out this much or is it something else...?

    I ordered from TFS Express China. When I ordered my TE-01 from them I paid for the 3 days shipping and it got here in 3 days. With MP-18+ I paid for the cheapest 6-8 day shipping and it took 2 weeks, but it spent an entire week in NYC customs doing nothing.

    Can confirm that the dark bit of my shouting face is flush with the back of his face. If that’s protruding, it could definitely be the problem.

    Thanks for the info. so if you use the more expensive it gets through customs quicker.

    So TFS EXPRESS is out of China and not the UK?

    I can't find my email from Hasbro Pulse with the new expected delivery date, I know it was delayed. Anyone know what it is?

    The best person to ask regarding removing faces would probably be Leatherface himself. All joking aside I dont have streak 18+ yet so ya cant tell ya.

    Thank you! I guess I was just worried as it was a bit tight on my copy of MP-18+. I did have to go a bit ROTF Prime on it and use greater force to pop it out. The piece flew off leaving the eye part behind. Fortunately it was easy to reattach the eyes to the main face, but then I realized I had two regular faces, and no shouting face. Bummer!

    On the up side, the paint is impeccable, and not much looseness in the joints. This is my first Bluestreak figure, so it's a bit special, as I've always liked the character.
