    ShowZ's status says "Incoming" so they'll have more stock by this week or next week.

    Did anyone else have problems creating an account on Showz? I can't place an order because my account hasn't been "approved". No verification emails or anything else has come through though, and it just says "contact administrator" if there's a problem. How do I do that if I can't log in?

    I managed to find their contact details on the site so hopefully I'll hear back from them soon if not I'll message them here or on Facebook.

    I transformed mine for the first time yesterday. There are red armatures that the headlights are attached to.When tabbing the engine cover together one snapped. I'm not happy. I don't think I applied excessive force, it just twisted a little as I was pushing up. As ever, the superglue glued everything together except for the things I wanted to stick.

    I have to buy another now. I'll keep the 'broken' one to display in mid-transformation.

    Take care with the red fold out armatures when going to alt mode, forming the engine cover.

    Damn I still haven’t transformed mine and hearing all these stories is making me never want to attempt it. My official MPM4 is fun to transform so guess thunder leader is staying up on the shelf.

    Yeah it's worrying but for every story you hear of something breaking there's equal or more stories of people having no problems so it's a bit like any product really.
    I'll be sure to be extra careful when I get mine. I have tiny, surgeons hands ;) 
    How long does it usually take ShowZ to process the order? Mine is still on "all payment received" and I noticed the site says that it's in stock now. I understand it's Christmas though, but not sure how they handle the holidays in China.

    From my experience they take around 3 to 5 days to ship the item since it's the end of the year their shipping slows down a bit so it might take around 20 to 30 days for your figure to arrive, that's what happened when I ordered from them a year ago

    This is a really good and solid figure, though my one had one of the doors broken from the box, and i don't wan't to buy a new one so not really sure what to do since it's bothering me, and terrytfsclub is not answering to my email.

    I would say that's the biggest problem this figure has, Tf source and BBTS might be more expensive but you get really awesome support there and they would send your spare parts in moments, so it's a shame you can't get this figure from those sources

    I'm hoping by buying from ShowZ I'll have some level of support if anything goes wrong.
    Can't you make a PayPal claim for yours if the seller refuses to answer emails?

    Hopefully! Looks like they were on my side, as the tracking details state that it's already arrived in the UK and been released by customs and has gone through the national hub, which basically means it's on its way to my house! This was fast!
