    Solid, and it depends. The item usually offers a deposit or full price. There's no $1 down option if that's what you mean though.


    I've bought loads from TFS-Express and Omegalock over the past few years and had no issues and good service

    Well that was weird
    I tried to pre-order and I couldn't because of postal carrier issues. But when I entered my state and zip no carriers came up to choose from

    That's unusual. I'm in the UK so can't really advise but you shouldn't really have that sort of issue.
    The country and code should give a list of options, then you select your preference. Odd.

    Try a PM to @TFsExpress and see if they can help

    Man!!! I am NOT disappointed. As many have stated already, this figure is totally amazing! This going by looks alone! Because I have to go out I don't have much time this evening to mess around with him a bunch but Jesus!! I'm so happy to have this is my life! Thanks @ShowZStore for having great packaging. The 34 day wait was well worth it! This was my first purchase through them and I certainly am not disappointed. Tomorrow I'll work on adding batteries along with adding the screw hole covers and spikes! I'll probably get a pillow and sit and work on the transformation before doing the spikes, just to be safe. I've watched pretty much every you tube video out there on this figure. I've got my favorites. I'm in such awe over this figure it's incredible in hand. I was pretty happy with MMC's Bruticus figures and don't get me wrong, I still am but I think this just won me over and became my absolute favorite! If you don't have it yet, keep being patient, you won't regret it.

    Without a shadow of a doubt, JobbyTheHong is the best toy reviewer on Youtube.

    Erk. I've not seen him before, and I'm not going to watch him again. He's trying so hard to be clever and funny, but comes across as caring more about himself than the figures. The endless quick cuts and changes of shot give a headache rather than information, and the painful bits with him in his studio... I'd rather watch Bobby Skullface, and he's awful!

    To each their own. This guy puts effort into his reviews, though, they are cartered to the more humerous of people.

    On the contrary, he is one of the few toy reviewers that seem to improve drastically over time and care about the production values of his videos. As for caring about himself... well, he really blew up with the many memes he had coined but got so tired of them being spammed in the comments that he stopped using many of them.

    Well, fair enough, if others like him then good for them. It's good that there is a range of reviewers available. I would get a headache.

    I can see where you're coming from. What's good about him is that he's not afraid to say what's wrong with a figure, even though he's supposed to be promoting it for BBTS.

    Question, When at the end, doing the arms, is that circular part supposed to peg and stay or does it only stay pegged after adding the rings? I only ask because I'm wondering if I might be messing up with the elbow bend. That circular part isn't staying pegged. Thanks for any input/advice.


    Edit: Ok, I got one side pegged so that answers my question, just gotta check the other side and see what I did wrong. o_O
