    Was looking forward to getting mine from Amazon next week.

    Then my country announced a Covid-19 lock-down last night. Patience will have to prevail...

    For those who own Earthrise Cliffjumper, how's the paint on his shoulders holding up? Am I gonna be looking at chipped paint after awhile or is it pretty durable?

    Chipped paint after the first transformation, not a huge deal though.

    I wonder if putting some clear varnish on, right out of box, would help!? Or is it a clearance issue?

    I think it's a clearance issue, the painted tabs are the problem. You can see where it has chipped on the left shoulder in my picture above.

    Yup. Mine chipped after the 1st transformation too. Exactly the same pattern as @lordcryotek's.

    got wheeljack and cliffjumper in yesterday and i gotta say, i think their figures are perfect! wheeljack could have used one more accessory, but ive decided to partner him with nightstalker (mainline lionizer) since he can be a sword or gun (sword being a reference to prime wheeljack)

    I still like the 3rd party due to alt mode but I’m loving ER and hope we get a cosmos powerglide warpath brawn down the line!

    However, Prime has a heart for everyone
