    Don't worry, only problem i had, which is completely my customs' and local post office's fault, they quickly resolved. Also, Aliexpress in general is much better even than Amazon when it comes to customer satisfaction.

    Thank you very much. Yeah, at the beggining of the times, Aliexpress was a hole full of scammers, the last two years the portal increased a lot in quality, with REAL reviews of customers, pictures, etc... and eBay became now the hole of scammers. I'm very confident buying in Aliexpress.

    But I want the new head and the waist piece 3d printed!!! I WANT WANT WANT. Haha.

    ===============

    Edit: do anyone tried to dissassemble the fingers for painting them? the figure is extraordinary but that white fingers mess with the design. I'm planning to remove the rivets, sand the pieces, then painted in silver color with a semi-gloss coat of Tamiya ts79 spray.

    Still holding out for a metallic rerun, UT. Just give the word and I'd preorder metallic Challenger in an instant.

    Prime only has the blades attached to his arms in the first 2 films. In DOTM he is holding them like normal swords. In the last 2 films after his reformat he only uses the sword he takes from the ship he frees the Dinobots from. Doubt anyone would do a kit for forearm blades for this version.

    I'd be in for a Mr. Bucket upgrade kit if he offered an upgraded shield/blaster and the small shotgun he uses in TLK.

    Galvatron shredded that blade so he only had that pre-knight. It’d look weird with the knight arms.

    And that is already included with Challenger. Attaches to the back of his hand or the shield.

    Wow so they sculpted their own extra details onto Challenger? It looks really good actually. I assume showing the truck next to him is meant to indicate that it still transforms?

    An upgrade kit that replaces the arms with removable armor and a better looking elbow joint would be neat.
