    Got mine in the mail today. Looks awesome. Will probably savor it in-package for a while before cracking it open.

    One thing I find interesting is that the scene on the back of the box includes the Executioner. I wonder if he was ever planned for inclusion. Maybe he'll show up somewhere later.

    I opened mine up tonight. I was surprised how much remolding was on the bailiff: his robot head, shoulders, and chest, and also the gator head and the hinged part of the back/tail attached via mushroom peg are all different from the Allicon . Plus his upper knee/lower thigh pieces are reversed from the Allicon to show different detailing. And of course the weapon is different.

    Reading the horror stories about attaching the judge's faces in the other thread made me glad this one came fully assembled. But having the gun just rattling around inside him made me worry something was broken in the box. Thankfully not!

    Overall a fun set.

    I love this set with all my heart. This was made by diehard ‘86 fans and it shows. I also removed all the plastic bits to make it a real playset, and I will say that there waa a lot of stressful moments where I wqsn’t sure which pieces of tape I could take off. But other than that, wow.

    - A third Sharkticon with a beautiful Fioro Dery inspired color palatte.

    - An incredibly well molded and painted Prosecutor

    - My first experience with the Allicon (Bailiff) and Judge molds, which are silly and wonderful

    - And poor, poor Kranix

    This set is something I never thought we would ever see. Finally, we can recreate this mockery of justice.

    Also, an excellent instruction booklet to help newer fans navigate these waters

    i don’t know what is happening over at Hasbro, but between WFC, SS86, and special sets like these they are giving fans like me everything we’ve ever wanted

    This set just came in, it looks AWESOME! I love how it looks in the box, once removed how hard is it to get everything back in the box without damaging the pit?

    Not hard at all. The plastic tray doesn't hold the figures securely, though.

    Awesome thank you, I figure I could display them in the case, but I wanted to fiddle with them first.

    The Baliff is the gem of this set, in my opinion. The new molding is fantastic. The Quint...meh. I'm glad for a good representation of the character but, the transformation is very underwhelming.

    Some more pictures I took yesterday.

    I love the deco on the new Sharkticon. May not be screen accurate, but it’s beautiful, probably my favorite of the three they’ve done.

    The Prosecuter looks like he floated right off the screen, perfect mold and incredible painted detail.

    Kranix is also pretty well detailed considering the size. Wish there was more paint, but hard to complain. Deco seems to be a mix of comic (yellow head crest stripes) and movie.

    Great additions for any movie shelf. Gonna wait to take Judge/Baliff pictures until I get the mainline Judge/Allicon in hand

    Anyone else get theirs without a mace for the bailiff? Mine just has the axe. Going to open a case with Hasbro tonight after I check one more time to make sure it didn't fall out while opening the box.

    Just got my set in today - love it. I already had retail Alicon, so i knew the mold, but the Bailiff is sufficiently different that it will be well served as a "leader" for troop building more Alicons

    The Quintesson Judge is surprisingly fun. When I first saw it, i had my doubts, but they sure packed in alot of functionality.

    The sharkticon is the weakest thing to me. Dated mold, very limited. At least it looks good as a "shark"

    The two statues are new unique molds and both look accurate and detailed. Can't complain here

    After a very tense 2 week wait, finally got mine today! Opening the box was a very "Christmas morning" moment, first time I smiled in the past month!
    Well worth the wait!

    The figures will stay upright back in the packaging as long as there's a stable, level surface. No ties or packaging inserts. Only left one piece of tape on the diorama (not shown) with the rest taken off via heat gun.

    Without the tape, I had to re-position several of the cardboard tabs back into place. Only 1 doesn't want to stay in place now (the right tab for the Judge's platform). The tape piece that I left on is for diorama support on the back (not shown).

    Got my set this week! Love how i finally have a leader or my Sharkticons! The Quintesson is so dang cool! And i love the Bailiff. This whole set is a knockout and wouldve been an amazing SDCC pickup but im glad i was able to get it all the same. Legit a dream set of figures and i cant wait for the Studio Series 86 figs to get shown!!!

    Now that I have this in hand, I gotta say I was a bit bummed removing them from the box. I just don't have the space to display that scenery, but it is really cool.

    -Love having the Sharkticon in 3 colors now.
    -The Prosecutor's nice for a little dude with one point of articulation.
    -The Bailiff is beautiful and really solidifies how much I like this Allicon mold. I'll take either version in as many colors as you offer HasTak (GIVEMETHEPINKALLICON)
    -The Judge is kinda meh. Like, I like his size, he's definitely an imposing presence. The problem is that making him transform has kind made him a bit more fiddly. From a playability standpoint I honestly thing the Cyberverse Quintesson is more fun with the head switching working by just pushing the top. Still, the details are nice and I really dig the green tentacles.
    -Kranix exists.

    I really love just how many details of the bailiff are new molds compared to the base allicon, it is really a great attention to detail.

    Mine says 6/22/2022 also...

    Here's hoping. I have been anticipating this for a while. TF:TM, and I know it's not a great film... but for sentimental and nostalgic reasons it's one of my favorite films. I want this for my TF:TM display. I have Haslab Unicron, I sure as hell don't want to let the Pit of Judgement be the piece that got away.
