    Chosen Prime has it listed as arriving soon, so I'm assuming next week at some point. Woo!

    Holy crumbs! I may be getting a payment notice from Show Z very soon then. First time getting an official product from them. Only problem is I ordered two together so I’ll have trouble with the shipping as that’ll definitely be a larger box thus requiring additional payment. However, two sent individually should both qualify for the free shipping so I’ll be sure to ask ask for that.

    I'm going to wait on reviews to decide if I'm going to open and keep the one I pre-ordered.

    Truth be told, I never really was into BW MP, since I really like the BW collection I already got -- and the MP's don't fit with those (even though I try to fake it with Primal and Blackarachnia). I think I'm going to be happier with the Kingdom series since they will fit with my existing BW collection.

    Someone’s going to have to recreate that one panel from the BW manga. And also that magnificent cape.

    I literally just sent an email about this thanks to your Comment. I ordered two also and it says over the order that they’ll hold it until the pandemic ends. I asked if they could ship them separately. It would be a bummer to cancel as Primus only knows when the pandemic will be over so fingers crossed they can help out

    I've paid the balance at TFS-Express so all I need do is wait.

    I am taking two weeks off the beginning of October so perfect timing.

    Nice. If Show Z aren’t flexible with the shipping then I’ll just pay the extra for 2kg+ express. Unless it’s over £40- then I’ll go to tfsexpress if they still have stock. Id forgotten how pricey this guy is!
    I doubt there is an end to the pandemic. If a perfect vaccine came out tomorrow you’d still have millions refusing to take it. Anyways- There’s really no reason Show Z wouldn’t be able to slit a pair of Tigatrons. I got my two TM Primal’s simultaneously yet separately- but they were individual orders. Still, it’s such a simple request. Fingers and toes crossed!

    I think (depending on the exchange rate when you paid) ShowZ are still cheaper but with QC on Masterpiece being as unreliable as it is I've decided to go with someone domestic who I can get good customer services out of as well as avoid any worries about customs charges or excessively long waits on shipping. That said I've dealt with ShowZ a fair bit since I made this pre-order and have found them to be rather good/reasonable at sorting things out where go wrong.... so I might go with them on the next MP.

    Yup they are all pricey these days.

    I’ve still got to pay my balance so I definitely don’t want to know what the state of the exchange rate is now compared to when I initially ordered. I always planned to pay £300 so, as long as the shipping gets sorted, that should be almost exactly what I pay.

    I so desperately want to thumbs-down your comment. Not because you're wrong, but because I hate it.

    I gave it a like because there is no thumbs-down available. Just know it's a protest like.

    I know what you mean. It’s a grim and sobering realisation.
    If we’ve ever needed aliens to arrive with super advanced, world healing technology it’s now.

    There’s still that first transformation of Tigatron to look forward to and raise our spirits though- until my job is officially declared obsolete and I have no more means of earning money to buy cool stuff... Sorry, back to escapism!
    All the moments of discovery and experiencing the problem-solving aspects of ingenuity unfolding in your hands, the brilliant engineering and textures of the smoothly applied paint, watching as you pull apart an animal form and rearrange it into a beautiful, humanoid robot. That’s always the most enjoyable moment of receiving a new transformer- and nothing ever beats the first time.
