    Hahaha!! Fair enough, we won't call it a foot in the mouth, we'll just say that all that never happened!! ;) 

    I hadn't noticed how long you had been on the site, but I can see how things may look different from your perspective!

    In all seriousness though, I appreciate the apology, and apologize to you as well, as once I'm in a certain mindset, I get combative, for a lack of a better word lol.

    But no worries bro, it's over and done with, and if anything I have more respect for you after all this!!

    All that side, I really do hope that you, and everyone else that kept their preorders, get a copy that's the exception and that doesn't have the issues we've seen in the videos!!

    Ps.... one of you better do a damn review!!!!!

    I'm looking at you @Atomic Tofu :p

    I need to take back what i said before because I keep feeling disturbed since different reviews are post on internet and almost all of them feel disappointed and have negative feeling after receiving their M09.

    Therefore, I have a short conversation with the reseller this morning and he accepted that my M09 can be returned and exchanged to other goods in their store. As a result, I am planning to order TW F09 now...

    if possible make sure you get Deluxe version. It's a bigger risk and gamble you are taking because most of us who got Standard version are fucked over by its mediocre, so good luck. It's a good display piece that will stand still for a long while thanks to POM material used at joint and excellent leg tolerances. Bitch to transform. Random tolerances from ok to meh on the torso.
    I still don't recommend it tho , if you are patient you can save up more money and wait for future company release better transformable BB prime.

    I have already required a standard version from my reseller as I don't need the stand and effect parts. I think that it should be fine because what I order should be different batch of two month ago and they should have enough time to fix it. (And at least after sales service is available)

    I decided to order F09 because what I deal is using my M09 (plus money as well) to exchange other goods in their stock instead of fully refund. Therefore, I only can select either Toy-World or 3Zero now

    Of course, I will keep my attention on Toy-Lab and Transcraft's news but I may not buy one more BB Prime unless their Prime is outstanding top-class toy because I have already went over budget

    ..... and I can feel that this should be the last trap from WJ

    It's not going to be pretty...I'll just record it and up it to youtube, no fancy graphics :p  But I really do think it's going to be 60 some odd days, lol. I'll have MPP10, maybe WJ's MPM04...maybe NE-01 out to have standaround. I'll weigh it and do a complete unbox, transform....etc. If I can figure out how to edit out stuff like "ugggh...gimme a sec" I'll do that, but otherwise, it will be a virgin review. ;)

    24 hours later and I got my refund from showz. That's two of these Primes cancelled due to QC issues. I think I'm out, third party figures are just getting too problematic to actually be enjoyable, and this is supposed to be a fun hobby, not a stressful one.

    I totally agree with you, lately I'm only capable of enjoy Legend figures from NA, MFT and MST... 3rd parties are getting too problematic due the Pandemic. They're messing up with the QC issues in every important figure after months of waiting.

    So strange, I asked them for a full money refund for two Primes (MP44 KO and M09) and they just returned back my full money on PayPal.
    Too much money to have a refund in points, mate!.

    I wish this was the size of MPM Optimus Prime, it would have helped with the weight issues and QC.

    I will still wait for him even though lately the impression of bad news has sprung up, both about QC issues ... my determination remains strong for M09 :) , because I want him to stay in my hands someday:oops:  !! ..I am waiting for him, to accompany the pose with my B-127 BMB LS07 Bumblebee Movie version:D 

    and here is the latest M09 pic again

    It’s me and you, @Atomic Tofu. I’m staying in. Crossing my fingers that it’s just mild loose joints and some chipping.
