    Well it looks like Primus is smiling upon me. Just got an email today asking if I want to purchase additional shipping insurance on my order. I really don't feel it's necessary since A3U is always great with packing and shipping my stuff. But this does give me confidence that indeed he will be shipping with Probus on Friday!! Super awesome early birthday gifts woohoo!

    I received mine from Show.Z yesterday. It took 45 days using the free shipping method. This figure is just amazing. I wish the instructions would tell you where the spikes should go. But that is not a big deal. After reading several posts here and watching a couple of clips I was able to transform him into planet and back with no issues.

    I didn’t have to sand or change anything. Tabs and everything just fit right.

    My figure finally arrived! Last shipping update from China was 28 June, then the tracking updated yesterday!

    Box is a little banged up, but thankfully the figure looks intact.

    Here’s to everyone else in the waiting game! It’s worth the wait!

    My Cell just arrived today. I had just enough time to open him up and check everything was there before I packed him away and got on a bus to the airport to leave the country for 12+ months.
    Didn't even get him out of the clamshell.

    What timing. At least I will be able to enjoy him at some point in the future...

    The only figures box that I've ever thrown away since beginning to collect Transformers a few years ago.

    Well this is annoying. One of the side sections of the feet was loose in the box, and after investigation, it turns out they forgot to screw it in, so now I need to find a tiny screw to attach it properly. This is how the left foot looks compared to the same spot on the right foot.

    If you're friends with a computer nerd, check their "extra parts" drawer. Otherwise, you might need to unscrew another one and take it to the hardware store.

    I checked my PC Parts stash and the hardware store, and nothing was small enough, so I just emailed my retailer. At least I can still mess around with him. The first transformation into planet mode took about an hour and a half, lol

    Someone on a Facebook group was impressed that their FT Beachcomber could break-dance. My Unicron wanted to show his dance moves as well...

    (He's well clear of the door, and not resting against it at all, I promise.)

    You're going to have to go via your retailer. Even Zeta (as themselves) don't deal direct, but 1studio are only around for this figure right now. If there's nothing on the box, you're at a dead end.
    How good an experience you have now is likely based upon who you bought from....
