    The majority of us who opted for the free 'slow boat' shipping where provided with a tracking number that identifies as a USPS number indicating that the information was received by the shipping partner in Inglewood, CA. Other than that though there has been no other update since the 17th. Is your 'boat' package tracking number also a USPS tracking number, or something else? I'm just curious if I should trouble ShowZ for more information regarding the tracking details, if said info exists. Especially if all of our packages have 'landed'.

    He looks really good but not perfect. I feel like if I've waited this long I can keep waiting for the right Unicron. This just doesn't wow me the same way as DX9 Gabriel does.

    Well it is a lot of money, so if you don't want it then don't get it. :thumb

    Has anyone posted a pic of him holding the little Galvatron which came with XTB Eligos? Just wondering how it scales.

    Few pics taken last night for my review (I even did a photoshop, not something I do much of!)

    Hated the transformation, but beautiful in both modes. Well worth the purchase :)

    I really like that. It looks like a movie poster. I think I might actually display my movie bots like this. Works well with smaller scale Unicron is.

    I highly recommend MMC's if you're in the market. I have Rouge but she doesn't evoke the character the way MMC's does IMO.

    I'm holding out for a KO of MP-51. As for Kup, I've considered X-Transbots Locke.

    I'm no expert, but that sounds less like one express and one standard Unicron and more like they express shipped the head and body separately to me and those are the tracking numbers you're looking at.

    Well, that’ll be interesting. Cause that means I paid $247 for the body and $247 for the head. :p

    I have that Galvatron but I'm still waiting on my Cell. I'll be doing pictures with them but I suspect someone else will beat me to it.

    Did you order both copies at the same time? Maybe one is both heads and the other is both bodies.

    Yeah, I have no idea. I'm just guessing, because I don't know of anyone else who has a ShowZ order that went with the free shipping that isn't waiting for Pitney Bowes to get it by boat in Inglewood.

    Maybe an error in my favor. Or a mess up.

    Either way it’s adding some spice to this already torturous wait.

    Show.Z has on multiple occasions helped me whenever customer service issues came up so I’m not worried about a catastrophe.

    Just want this damn robot to get here already. :)

    We can only assume the 2nd run will be $400 right? I’d love to grab one of these for $250-$300 shipped. Thing is I can see this only going up in price as all reviews have been positive so far.

    I finally got around to looking over my copy today and unfortunately I have the same issue. The panel on the inside of the left leg is the wrong part. Has anybody had success in getting a replacement part? I contacted the online store today to see if they could provide a replacement part.
