    Yeah, I dusted out BMB Megatron again just to glance those 2 a little bit.

    SS Megatron has bendy, accordion legs that his height might tend to be wary, I think. Even with the oversized ones.

    But dude's still the only thing that's reasonably scaled with BA Prime though.

    I don't mean literally and physically grabbing the package before it's delivered, but whether or not the local post office can correct/modify the delivery address once it's here if I contacted them about it. Just looking for ideas.

    You can pay for "premium" USPS services...
    Package Intercept - Stop Delivery of Letter or Package | USPS
    Whether or not it works, who knows...I live in a Podunk town where it's a challenge for my local USPS workers

    It is honestly how you have him hunched over and how you have his knees

    I've found it helps to tell them personally that you have completed your payment. For some reason, that gets them on it faster.

    Yeah give them a heads up in the showz thread. They clearly aren't shipping out orders in the order that they were received.

    Really? I paid the deposit on Oct 5th, and i've yet to get any full payment notice. Guess i should just pay the full price right away to be included on the next batch?

    Found a renewed love and use for my takara jetwing prime jetpack! No modding needed! Tried it out after seeing someone in this thread do it with the TRU color version

    I guess that's what i get for using TF-Direct most of the time :confused: 

    I guess ShowZ will wait a year or two before shipping mine because of that :oops:

    They must be releasing small batches to get product out as quickly as possible. I hope there aren't any issues with these latest ones!

    I have three packages on the way from showz and they're all Optimus Primes.... Lord I have a problem...

    hi, just signed up on this site after browsing it for over ten years. Anywho, I've just received mine and it is truly stunning. However... I've got two concerns. One is that the stomach tabs just sits on the hole that is the same size as the tab. It doesn't go in. The grill abs that cover the matrix chamber couldn't tab in without bringing the resting groove slightly forward. Two is that the shoulder tabs just kinda mushes into the hole and pushes itself back up, with the shoulder joint hole locking the blue roof in place as per transformation. Once locked in, the hinge that rests in the groove behind his neck on either side just kinda raises up—bringing the silver plastic cover up with it. Anyone else facing this problem?

    Hey there. Yes this unfortunately not an issue, but rather a side effect of now having too much stuff in the way for the chest to press down, meaning the red hood pices that fold up and underneath the chest panels. I think you had asked in one of the FB groups if I'm not mistaken? Could have been someone else having the spine issue. To tab the back in just trust the tab and put firm pressure. It shouldn't break. Mine was a bit tough as well the first time. If you are really concerned about it, try taking a file or some sand paper to one side of the tab, could be they put too much paint causing the tab to be too thick. Also if you woukd like a much nicer looking prime, you can check out my mod photos on 233 and a few pages back I posted a link to my video describing what I did for everyone to try it out if they wanted. My mod allows for the chest to sit where it was supposed to before whatever happened at wei jaing and they designed it in a way that forced it to stay up. Hope it helps! 20191020_201929.jpg

    yea that was me Omar in botposting. I watched your video regarding the mod but I'm not feeling too adventurous, appreciate it though. Could you upload a picture of a flush back tab? I'm still applying pressure but the waist swivel just keeps on moving around, kinda worried about the waist more than anything. This thing is hella fragile

    I see no problem with having all the Optimus Prime figures.
    So you have Black Apple Prime what are the other two?

    I got the KO of TFPrime First Edition Optimus on the way, as well as the undersized TLK voyager Optimus that's supposed to go with Scorn. It was only $5! And someone listened and FINALLY made an undersized KO! I can't wait to have him. I'm gonna paint him up just like my regular voyager and take him everywhere with me :)
