    Until a sympathetic mayor, judge, or governor signs an order to make all past due rents irrecoverable. Coming soon. It’s all for the betterment of the worker’s proletariat after all. Welcome to the new clown world order. Honk honk.

    Yeah that looks like the one I have. I've seen a couple people in here with the same problem and they're all the right arm too. I'm at work but I wonder what the inside of the left arm looks like...you know, the screw and what not that gives it that stiff movement.

    Carefully slicing the temp logos I was courageous enough to transform it to shuttle mode. Wasn't so bad, but the thruster cover at the back was a chore lol

    Of course, FedEx decided to give it an exception and not to deliver it, even though they delivered another package the same day (within 1 minute of the exception).

    Nice looking, if you need reference, the front of the train is where you'll need to place stickers for that mode.

    OK, I'm a little lost. We're talking about the chest panels, right? Because "arm" makes it sound like you're talking about the elbow?

    I actually was browsing this thread to see the complaints about the initial run QC to dissuade me from buying on the resale market. But your message, while being obvious, is something most of us completely overlook.

    I think I paid something silly like $400 or 500 for MMC Rumble and Frenzy, now they're restocked at TFSource for a fraction of that ‍♂️

    I'll hold out and catch the second run, even if it's a year or so between. Thanks!

    But congrats to everyone that picked up this guy!

    Haha yeah, I super overpaid for those guys too, now they’re like $150 at TFSource every couple months. Seemed really important at the time! He’ll get a re-issue anyway

    I think I'm somewhere in the middle. I spend my money wisely but sometimes get what I want if that means that I have to spend more (to some extent) but at the same time I save money for unexpected events.
