    And the pin stays in place? It looks like the knurled end is exposed with the fix.

    Thanks for the pic. I thought mine had a misfired pin but nowhere near that bad. I think one side is just barely off center and causes it to be tight when trying to squeeze everything together in plane mode. But it’s really not that bad. So the only issue I really have is two left shins on Ramjet.

    Got a shipping notice..remarkably.
    I guess I’ll have to see how this comes through.


    From CA, via UPS... and arriving tomorrow?

    We shall see.

    The coneheads came with a box btw. What Amazon won't sell, ebay filled in the blanks!

    Well despite Amazon delaying my order to mid-September on release day, my coneheads were delivered yesterday. That was a nice, albeit confusing, surprise.

    Ramjet has a misfired pin but there's no paint issues on either. I was more concerned about paint anyways so not a bad outcome for me.

    I still quite like the mould but while I love coneheads, their heads look just a bit too small for their bodies. Oh well, still great figures.

    So I assume that this set is now gone for good? I only see it being sold from resellers on Amazon at $145.00 each.

    I knew I wanted Ramjet/Dirge so I pre-ordered right away.

    I'm still not sold on Ironhide / Prowl, because I have the CHUG figures and I'd be committing to replacing 5 of them if I bought this (Ironhide, Ratchet, and the 3 Datsuns), but I figured to avoid the pain a lot of people seem to be going through right now I'd throw in a pre-order to be safe. Since it's not shipping until November I can always cancel.

    I doubt it. In the unlikely chance Amazon doesn't restock, there will still be the Japanese release that will most definitely not reach the stupid level prices of $145+

    Actually, it can especially with how ridiculously high shipping is out of Japan.

    AUOP got restocked and still in stock at this time. Too early to pass judgement yet on restock status.

    Amazon also delayed non-Prime members on purpose getting their shipments, so not too surprised some are still shipping out.

    I received my Ramjet and Dirge pack today. Had the same issues as some others here with the item not being packaged and instead, just a sticker placed directly on the box.... The misfired pin on Ramjet along with 2 left knee pads on Dirge...
    On the positive side, I contacted Amazon and they refunded me fully and did not request that I send back the figures.

    Same as most people for the box, surprised it traveled all the atlantic like that.
    And fortunately, no QC issues on mine

    well, Amazon issued me a refund for my returned Coneheads. Guess I have to hope for a restock :(
