    Just got mine today! Love him a lot but were the legs/ hips loose on anyone else's copy? Like he's fine just standing but in certain positions the legs barely support the upper body and tend to give way.

    Honestly, it was the Flame Toys IDW Prime kit that made me switch away from BBTS. Everyone else was getting theirs in stock and I ended getting mine almost two months after the fact. I switched to TF Source/The Chosen Prime/Agabyss/TF-Direct and haven't looked back.

    Also I live like 45 minutes from the BBTS warehouse and they don't allow for local pickup. I would love to not pay for shipping if I don't have to.

    Tell me about it. I would seriously be considering switching my order to another site if it wasn't for the fact I've got the whole team on preorder PLUS Gen. Selects Exhaust, as well as the fact I'm in no hurry to be dropping more money. With rising shipping costs though, the promised $4 anytime shipping is also a major draw given I could only imagine shipping mors is like, $25 or something absurd on his own.

    I gave up, cancelled my BBTS order, and ordered it from TF Source on Monday. It just arrived an hour ago. I don't know what's up with BBTS but it's inexcusable at this point.

    Same for me. They really should have added some ratchets to the lower body seeing how top heavy the upper body is.

    Oh gosh thanks for confirming! Really wasn't sure if it was just a stand alone issue or something present in all the copies. But yeah very much agreed about the ratchet joints.

    My DJD set... and Death's Head... I like to think that had he existed in IDW, Tarn would have employed his services regularly, and they would have had a special relationship with the bounty hunter.

    Also, I chucked all the smaller battle-damaged pieces I could fit into Mors chest-furnace:
    MakeToys Trash-Talk alternate head
    MakeToys Rear-End alternate legs
    Mech Ideas Geminus alternate head

    Not a great picture, though.

    So, uh...how are you going to fit Tortor in there? Mors already takes up that entire back area and Tortor is even bigger.

    Kinda why I already moved all my DJD and MMC Brawl POs to TCP, and any later orders on MMC stuff are exclusively from Planet Steel Express. I just don't have Helex yet since I kinda want him to ship along side Kaon, Tarn and Vos, haha.

    I'm pretty good at squeezing figures into small display spaces. One of the alcoves in one of my detolfs has 34 MP figures in it. :)

    A bit late to the party, but my Mors just arrived yesterday. He is a beast! And his transformation is absolutely delightful. Well worth the (steep) price I paid for him to be shipped.

    I see several elements on him which I think were designed with retooling in mind, and I can absolutely see how an extensive Crumplezone remold could be done.

    UGH.. Anyone have any updates on if this might show at BBTS in the next week or so? My POL is reaching it's life expectancy, and if this isn't expected before mid-month, then i might as well ship now...

    Yeah, I would like to know as well. The Vos/Cynicus reissue is due for release this month as well and TorTor (though let's be honest if TorTor makes it out by December that would be incredible). I actually tried calling BBTS about this some time ago and the guy on the line simply said that all they could say about it is whatever is on the webpage, but something seems off given literally every single other North American retailer has gotten enough stock to sell at this point except BBTS.

    AFAIK, MMC absorbed them a couple years back.

    BBTS finally got him in. Payment was accepted so I'm finally locked in for this bad boy.

    They've remained as a nice idea.
