    This. Totally in the same boat with you, Mike. Though I wish this guy could have been bigger, in the long run, I feel that his height ends up for me being a nitpick, imho. In terms of me talking about it. This thing is exactly what I would have wanted from a Unicron. I speak mainly about aesthetic, since Haslab's to me looks pure Siege, and as a G1 MP collector myself, that's far from what i'd want. Also it just looks more well-engineered to me. Ratchets even in the WINGS, bro. Damn, Zeta, nice.

    If I may offer up another...

    Soooo. Anyone else’s ShowZ “slow boat” tracking showing its in Inglewood California? I just happened to check my usps tracking number and that’s what it says. I’ll take it with a grain of salt though being I’m cautiously optimistic.

    Yeah. Mine is. It probably just means it's in the shipping partners system and that's just a placeholder location.

    Yup. It says it was picked up by the shipping partner and USPS is awaiting the item. So it's probably still on the boat.

    Like this?

    Yeah. It's just USPS announcing that their shipping partner in Inglewood (in this case Pitney Bowes) told them they have a package that's going in the USPS network.

    If you check it on Pitney Bowes' site you'll see something like this:

    [​IMG]

    That tells you that Pitney Bowes got a notification that they're getting the shipment from FDR (never heard of that one, but apparently they're some kind of forwarding company). Unfortunately, none of this means that our stuff is in Inglewood. It doesn't even mean our stuff is on a boat or plane, or has even left China yet.

    mine is the same. I have a MS Light of Justice figure that is in the same state. Been that way since 5/26. But my iceman and another item that sent out before everything hasn’t posted a single update, not even the initial one since it was shipped weeks ago. It’s so hard to be patient.

    For what it's worth I get ya. I just got a package today that shipped mid-May. And I have another that's been on "Shanghai, delivered to Air Transport" since May 9th.

    There is a pretty clear scale for the MP line that's in keeping with the 'charts'. Just because animators made mistakes or took liberties from time to time it doesn't mean that there isn't an intended scale. It's pretty easy to see this simply by looking at the relative heights of not only official MP, but also 3P and then comparing to the charts. BY and large most figures adhere to the scale that started with MP-09/MP-10 with only a few varitions.

    Anyway, as has been said dozens of times before scale with this character is irrelevant, not to mention totally unachievable.

    Yeah, I paid in full when it first came up for pre-order. With a little bit of discount and a coupon code I had, I initially paid £202 up front.

    Here’s what mine said. The wording is what made it seem like it was in CA.
