    In what I am sure is a vast international conspiracy to annoy me personally, TFsource now has every 3P motormaster in stock EXCEPT capone. :( 

    Is there anywhere that actually has this guy that ships to the US that isn't some sort of super shady ebay thing?

    I had preordered Capone through TFSource. Am I screwed? Will he arrive in March? Should I cancel the preorder and get it from somewhere else?

    With CNY closing up shops and the experience several of us are having getting their Capone through customs I think even if you canceled and ordered from somewhere else you might not get it until March anyway.

    I would suspect that any NA shipments would have shipped and are on the way? In that scenario, would be safer to keep your pre-order than switching it to a CN seller whose parcel might not leave before the holiday.

    Last I saw, ages3andup still listed as in stock, you might give them a try for a near-domestic seller if you don't want to wait? Don't recall anyone else having stock this side of the pond

    or you can just ask ShowZ and Baba online to see if they can ship it out before CNY.

    CNY is in less than 9 days, many shippers cut off up to a week prior, and then there's the issue with customs many of us have detailed here. I suppose if you could convince them to ship via FedEx or DHL and pay the higher cost of shipping, it's possible, but highly unlikely.

    As long as they want the money, they can shipped out very quick. I just had a package (BC01) shipping from Baba yesterday and another one (KO MT hotshot) from showz the day before.

    Feet of Capone and RK are the most beautiful, about Gravestone has menacing bulky body and RK has better propoprtions for a bot based on a whole truck with trailer. Capone has the weakest face but feet are the most toon and is the most fun to transform,absolutely.I should receive my Roadking on February ,than in that same time I'll have chance to but Capone too. Gravestone is amazing but I'll buy him just after these 2 ,they are the winners in my tastes.

    I feel like the feet of Capone are the weakest part of the figure and not near as toon accurate as the other two. If it were not for the feet, I probably would have bought this guy already.

    I blame BSF and Sun of the Empire YT reviews. :D 

    Is that step in the instructions? I see what you mean now, the extra purple window on the leg. I usually never open the instructions. :oops:

    Capone feet remind me exactly Motormaster Marvel profile pic but just on frontal view, I referred to that as comparison to more realistic ones.That detail render them interesting,but just for me.

    This thread just makes me mad now. What, did dx9 make like 12 of these things? Is this going to be a problem with the last 2 guys?
