    I’m a little bit concerned, because it doesn’t show up in my ShowZ orders at all, but I did receive the email and paid the balance. The email still shows it as “balance due”, even though he received the money from PayPal.

    It still says in coming so im guessing they are one of the late China shops to get it as tf direct, sarah zhang and tfsafari have them in stock. Showz was the cheapest so im hoping they get it soon

    Yeah, I’m not usually this impatient, but for some reason for this guy I am.lol Maybe it’s the two-year wait. I don’t want to take the chance of waiting until after CNY- I want it now!lol

    So I just ordered a second one from Sarah. Whenever the one from ShowZ gets here, I’ll just sell him.

    Got my ship notice for Vulcan from Terry's earlier today, can't wait. Probably take a month to get it, but at least it's on the way.

    I'm so paranoid that I've prep all the limbs bots to their limb modes.

    These bots are the most annoying transformations that I've ever encountered. It's no wonder the original scout sized versions can be fiddly and fragile to transform lol.

    I've got one of them in combined mode. Still need to do the rest. They are a bit fiddly.

    I find I actually like his transformation second-best, right after Not-First-Aid. BUT (huge caveat) I prefer to just cheat and pull his hands entirely off in Car mode. Stowing those hands just is not worth the trouble.

    The set is rather fiddley. But I kinda like my MP scales Transformers with a bit of fiddle factor. I enjoy spending more time with them, and taking my time and enjoying them individually a bit more. I have a chug collection and some other figures that are better for "fast deployment." If I'm in the mood to set up a large scene, or lay out groups all at once, I go to the chugs....

    I wanted this set when Maketoys released the original, then reviews stated a lot of the small parts were so damn fiddly for the size and it really put me off. When the upscaled KO was announced I jumped on it because the bigger size meant those fiddly parts should, in theory be easier, especially if you have sausage fingers like me.

    I have to say, the transformations can still be frustrating a times and I really don't think I would've enjoyed the figures in their original smaller sizes.

    I just ordered a second one. This time from TF-direct.com. Show.z has been letting me down lately. I think I might start back using TF-direct now they all the orders have free shipping. I'm either going to sell the second one that comes in. Or put it with my Generation Toys one since that is another Hotspot I am waiting for.

    I have the originals. Transforming Groove makes me nervous every damn time. I’ve had to replace parts on him more than once. I know how to be careful! I love the set overall but I’m getting to the point where I’m going to leave him forever in some mode and say enough is enough.

    Still on the fence about getting all the upsized versions. (Budget) I need to hurry up and make a decision after I see some reviews for the OS Hot Spot.
