    Has anyone ordered this recently and received it, or are we dependent on the secondary market?

    Wei Jiang is already shipping out to retailers. Ready stock is not easy to come by but if you find some that has ready stock jump on it. If not it will have to be November for the next batch.

    Dude, that looks really good!
    Having the chest sit lower even makes his head look more proportionate. Is that the stock head or the BMB one?
    This is the best I've seen this mold look! As others have asked, how did you mod your figure?

    I also find this one as the best configuration seen so far. Sometimes his chest is higher than the head...

    Looks like you took out the red parts of his hood that fold up into his windows. Is that it, or did it require some more modifying?

    Wow! After weeks of seeing nothing but the super high chest pieces burying Prime’s head, I was about to just cancel my preorder. But I’m keeping it now, cause of this mod, thanks so much for posting this.

    I actually didn't fill in the gap, but I've heard people have used things like plastic

    Tracking hadn't updated since September but I wake up today and it's here! Pretty awesome figure even if all that I have done is take it out and do a few poses. I am hoping to give the chest mods a try soon.

    Even with this video I still can't get all the tabs to line up properly in truck mode.

    I really wasn't expecting Wei Jiang to enhance the problems of the original MPM along with its size....

    Yeah, I'm pretty torn. I'm thinking of waiting for someone to improve on this...

    It’s highly unlikely someone will ko this ko. I would recommend using some of the mods posted instead of waiting on something that will never happen

    Hi guys, just wanted to give you an update on my end for the mod. I do not have the time to do the video tonight but I will try my best to give you guys a video on it tomorrow showing what to cut and demonstrate how to get it to go further down. Thanks for all your praise, glad you guys love the mod!

    So after China Post got it it took two days to get to the airport and then it's sat there for 2 weeks and then it got to America where it's been sitting at New York for a little over a week. Is this normal? Screenshot_20191022-062148_17TRACK.jpg Screenshot_20191022-062213_17TRACK.jpg

    Lol at least yours is out for shipping. I haven't even received a notification for that yet :( 
    As for if that's normal or not...idk you said it was about two weeks before it landed in the States so perhaps it just needs another week before it gets moved again.
