Yeah, I did feel a bit bad when I posed him trying to climb out of the bin... But then I remembered that just last night, I found out that two of panels inside his legs were on back to front, so I can't even display this crap in truck mode.

That made things easier.  

 

Can you post a picture of this?

 

I like the TE too, it is rather blocky and even I'm starting to warm to the MS Prime as well. However, for aesthetics the MP-44 is just gorgeous but sadly I really don't think we see a good iteration any time soon.

 

One day... one day.

 

Well, I mean, TE-01 would be tougher Prime. MP44 would break a hip or a knee before the fight really got started.

 

I agree about the MS mold. I really like it and I think it fits the legend scale perfectly with MSB-18, but the price has gone up too much for me to even consider it.

 

You didn't use the correct ab-crunch in the first pic.

 

If TE just bevelled the edges of Prime to make him less like a block then I could reconsider.

 

I'm back in business trying to glue the white pieces that broke.



Finally managed to get the damage screw from the left side and found this:



I've tried to find a reason for this absurd difference between both of them, and came to no conclusion.
The smaller is the one from the right side, and the other from the opposite side.

 

On the official, both screws are insanely long.

 

Well in that case I guess that's probably for better support of the plastic "pole" where they screw in.
I've found that the "pole" itself is removable and is also different on both ends. To assemble it, you have to first mount the smaller pieces from the left side, slide it in all the way, and then mount the other side.

 

So apparently mine has been at the post office since the 5th, but some asshole forgot to deliver it or something, so I got a notice YESTERDAY that it's been at the post office since the 5th, and if I don't pick it up by the 20th it'll be returned to sender. I hate shit like this. Going to the PO in a bit to hopefully finally pick this thing up. Can't wait to immediately paint the eyes with the same gundam marker that everyone here has recommended!

 

Has everyone, who had theirs ship before or after the 11th, gotten theirs or even an update? I’m really starting to think the batch shipped on the 11th ran into some problems.

 

Same

 

No updates on mine.

 

I guess call them and make them go through cross system, I think you can call and request a call back so you dont sit there waiting

 

I’m about to call aquaman, have him pull ours from the bottom of the ocean.

 

Ordered on the 21st, received on the 13th, its like the 11th shipping container has had some issues, it could be buried under a pile of other containers, I had a parcel sit for 2 months at a obscure distribution center inside the US show up finally this week so hold out hope.

 

same. I contacted Showz sometime last week and was told similar responses as everyone else, that it's on its way, to be patient.

 

Yeah, like an iceberg.

Same here. Member of the 11th Club, no updates. But I do have a different tracking number that showed up on my Informed Delivery this week that I can not march to any of my other purchases. It came from China, through Jamaica NY, and will be here tomorrow. Have no idea if that's it or not. There may be something I forgot I ordered. I'll know tomorrow I guess
