    Random question:

    I noticed a preorder for a really cool-looking transforming jet toy: https://showzstore.com/big-firebird-bird-of-dawn-kalavinka_p2484.html

    Can someone tell me about this toy? Is it from an anime? A video game? A manga?

    What's this toy supposed to do? Is it a transforming toy, like a Macross toy? Or is it a robot that you can add different jet parts to, like a Diaclone reboot figure or the Strike Gundam?

    A Google search of "Big Firebird Bird of Dawn Kalavinka" only brings up results for the toy.

    googling for BIRD/BINARY might get you better results.
    or #BIRD_BINARY on twitter.
    LAS 91214
    it's an original creation of LAS91214, and big firebird toys partnered with him to turn his artwork into toys.

    to my knowledge the bird/binary figures are supposed to be fully transforming robots(not all jets, they've shown off an armored vehicle too)

    Oh, I see. So, it’s not from an anime or manga, but a toy series based on original art. Cool!

    Dudes...I am stoked for the coming week...or two (or more). I have had a package twelve + days away from me...from a driving location of about 10.5 hours away from me. I have another package that is in the same town as I am at currently...will it beat me back to my work address? I don't know. But September looks like a good week for me for deliveries. I hope. :p

    I'm very upset, I ordered a Megatron on 11 July (20071116194975 )
    Model Wizard T-08 Shake Sky Wing Megatron Oversized
    and I received now another figure, not my Megatron. I received a X-Transbots MX-Viii-T Aegis. Where's my Megatron?. Now Megatron is sold out on your webstore... :(

    I've noticed a lot of samples on show z's web site lately. Sample meaning they sent the wrong item and are reselling it in the country where it was sent..

    Looks like the company they hire to pack and ship things is sending wrong items with more frequency lately.

    Seen that too with the sample thing.
    So they can not even promise you get the item you ordered.
    Never place 1 order there and I never will hearing all this.

    manel, thats a crappy situation and they need to do their best to make it right. That being said most people have had positive things to say about showz, and i'e used them at least half a dozen to a dozen times without issues going back a few years. If we start seeing more issues like yours, clearly they are having growing pains or whatever they are doiing different recently isn't working. hope it gets resolved.

    If this is some massive fuckup by the shipping company or warehouse workers it's not up to ShowZ. What's up to them is how they're gonna fix this

    No it is not, been ordering there for over a year, just find stores that have good ratings and reviews.
    JL Kids Store, Bplus store, AI Toy Store are 3 you can trust 100%, never had 1 wrong item and shipped with in 2 days.
    Aliexpress is also back on track for the EU, last 2 items came with in 14 days.
    End of the day it is still up to them, it only means they do not have an own warehouse, so they are a website, that has to trust stock from another warehouse.
    No thank you, give me a company that has actual stock with what they have on the site.
    If it was their own warehouse workers they would not have the need to post that sample thing because you can be on top of that situation and fire and replace you workers if they keep screwing up.

    AE still being a russian roulette... JLKids one time sent me a broken MFT figure, only half refund given. AI Toy Store, I bought to them recently an MST Optimus legend scale, one week later they said me "need to cancel the order, it's out of stock" but they have listed in stock with more than 20 units. I don't know Bplus. Thank you very much.

    I'm gonna look for the T08 Model Wizard to cover my shoulders...
