Just to say. Box Sets are a bit hazy if they may happen. It’s been mentioned before but the cost benefit isn’t exactly what MMC wants. However I suspect that the individual figures will get rereleases and there will definitely be some sales. So I think that’s what you’ll need to be referring to.

 

TCP got Incursus and the upgrade kit in stock today! I hit ship on my stash, so hopefully I'll have them by the end of the week.

 

Same my friend, just shipped mine (and MMCs IDW Ravage) as soon as I saw this.

 

I got my shipping notice from TCP. I live in the same county as TCP so i should have it tomorrow or Wednesday.

 

Lucky

 

Could you just go there and pick them up? Or is TCP an online-only store?

 

They are in the east valley and I'm in the west valley as such its probably an hour there and an hour drive back. Plus I'm not even sure if the storefront is open to the public. Looks like a warehouse.

 

I would guess Wednesday. Actual shipping pickups would have been limited today due to the holiday.

They don't have a dedicated storefront, but if you contact Brandon you can generally run over there and pick stuff up anyway. The only real restriction is their limited staff, there may not be someone available if something comes up, such as going to TFCon. However they are very good at posting about it if they are going to be out on Facebook (I don't follow other social media but if they have it I would assume if they are good at posting there too). Generally I wait until TCP hosts a local meet up to pickup my Stash, but if they are too busy for to long I just text Brandon and see if it is a good time to run over there (I live in the east valley). I think there has only been 1 time when it hasn't been.

 

Ooh onslaught is so bought.

Kinda hesitant about the add on kit tho. 50+ seems kinda steep. Guess I'll build my points up a little more

 

Its for saving on shipping costs for overseas retailers. It costs quite a bit more to ship in bot mode due to the volume. Apparently transforming Fraudo into alt mode was so tedious that a number of assembly workers quit the job.

 

Incredible if true

 

will have my swindle today or tomorrow morning !! need something to cheer me up as have a wire in my back and touching my spine with a battery strappped to my back for a 2 week spinal cord stimulation trial , been shit so far as the wound has been killing and not been able to sleep properly since i had it done thursday  

 

I'm sorry to hear that, hope you get your Swindle soon!

 

Sounds rough. Hope you get some relief soon. And Swindle too!

 

I love the packaging on OM Zinnia bought from TFCon, it is the smallest box ever, and thus maybe the only one i can actually keep.

I bought Saltus from a retailer in China, and he was in car mode too, and packaging descent.

I hope MMC/OM will one day have ALL their packaging sizes reduced by using alt mode, as many of us still buy from etailers in China.

 

'interesting prisoner, sure I've seen a similar alt mode before....'

 

How is your copy of Hound? What do you think of Fraudo? I should be shipping Incursus soon. Just paid my invoice. I know you are not getting him at this point if I remember correctly. Are you planning on displaying them in bot mode?

 

Hound is fantastic. Super cartoon, super articulated, intuitive and I have zero issues.

Fraudo I've not opened yet, having tea first then I'll crack him open

 

got yours from baba already?

mines all good too apart from what looks like a small crack on the top hinge of the right leg back panel , which you can't see unless you really look because of where it is and don't seem to have weakened the spot either but other than that it's all good and the transformation is fluid was only a bit stiff on the first transformation in a couple of places and all the paint is perfect ! love the figure  

 

Nah cancelled it and ordered from Kapow as it didn't get out before CNY cut off and fuck waiting a month!



And Lilacwave is my study desk bot so it seems fitting to get a pic of him with MP Combaticons:



Gonna look at making an adaptor so his arm cannon can sit on the front of his shoulders and as I don't need the foot extension gimmick I'm gonna look and modding his legs to look cleaner like his upper torso. And finish my new cartoon chest fir the Zeta pants befire Blast Off gets here.

3 down. 2 to go.
