    Thanks for the update! I'm super excited for this figure, especially after seeing it at TFCon Chicago last year. It's amazing.

    Forgive me for assuming that a figure with zero press or updates for almost a year isn't coming out... Anyway thanks for the update.

    I just watched Megatron's scenes in TLK and I never saw him using the shield that comes with the exclusive edition. Anyone knows what's up with that?

    I still don't believe this is actually releasing, but I'd love for them to actually release some news and prove me wrong!

    Got it. Thanks!

    I've been also searching for some footage of the prototype exposed at some event and couldn't find any. Odd.

    I have one or two pics I took from TFCon 2018 where it was on display. I can dig those up and post if you'd like.

    Turns out I only have one pic but here you go. It could very well be my favorite ThreeA piece, especially in this pose.

    Holy s**t. You really did him justice with that shot. Looks so much more imposing and menacing now that I see him from up close.

    Thanks a lot for taking your time to dig it up, I think you just wiped away any doubt I had about picking him up.

    I was floored when I saw him. I love the TLK Megatron design and ThreeA did a superb job. The wait is the killer thing. I’ll probably have the bigger version of Blitzwing before this.

    So it hasn’t even been shown to the public for all of 2019 so far?

    I have to agree. I was excited as hell when I saw Prime and didn't pay much attention to Megatron because I couldn't afford him at the time but as it stands I think I actually prefer his look over Prime's. I'm really diggin' this whole knight theme in their designs but Megs just has that more serious and rugged aspect that fits better with the idea imo.

    So... uh. I paid the deposit on the DELUXE version, but cannot access my account at 3A anymore.
    How will I be billed for the remainder?
    Where can I verify the status of my order?

    More importantly, when is this beast going to be released? There's not much more Q4 left of 2019.

    You are going to have to contact ThreeZero (ThreeZero Online Store – ThreeZero Online Store) and tell them that you either ordered from Bambaland or ThreeA and give them the order number. If you don't have the store name AND order number, you might be screwed. Getting my outstanding orders confirmes was like pulling teeth. Yours may be more difficult because you paid the deposit instead of full price.

    Long story short, ThreeZero did not merge the ThreeA/Bambaland store database/accounts so there is no way to access any order history, invoices or tracking. They will have to search for the order number manually. I know all this because I contacted ThreeZero a few months ago when all this happened just to make sure they have my outstanding orders. They did. They should have yours too but you will have to contact them ASAP. Especially if you have a remaining balance. They WILL cancel your order and keep your deposit and you will get NO NOTIFICATION because it is on an old system.

    ThreeA was great with customer service but ThreeZero is the worst. I needed replacement parts for my TLK Bumblebee and they initially refused because the "shipping" date did not match the date the warranty card was submitted. I bitched enough and they eventually caved but I had to ship the whole thing back to China at my own expense (over $80USD) and it took 2 months to repair a damaged finger joint and replace a shoulder armor. They could have just sent me a replacement hand and shoulder armor. They also told me that without a warranty card at all they WILL refuse ANY repair/replacement.

    If you can get it sorted out, you will not receive any emails about paying the remaining balance, when your orders ships or any tracking numbers. It'll just show up on your doorstep (and require signature. which is a pain in the ass when you don't even know it's coming).

    All that said, I tried contacting them again last week about my outstanding order and have gotten no reply. I was about to attempt again. TLK Megatron is not shown on the ThreeZero shipping schedule for this year. The product page has not been updated for months and there is no ETA. DLX BB movie Optimus is shown for shipping last month but has not yet shipped to anyone as far as I can tell. I'm going to email them again right now.

    Alrighty I got a reply! Here is what I was sent:

    Dear Customer,

    Refer to our latest info, there’s some modification for TLK Megatron and it’s possible that the shipping schedule will be revised accordingly.

    We will keep updating the shipping schedule in our website once we got the latest update.

    Thank you for your support and patience.

    Best Regards, ThreeZero CS D

    I imagine they are prioritizing the Bumblebee movie line since it proved to have quite a high demand. These aren't bad news, at least we know he is still coming.

    I sent them an email a few days ago and have yet to hear anything back. :confused:
