    I can't argue that, but I have things shipping from China every week or two...I've not had anything go more than a couple of days without a scan until it gets to the "waiting for airline space" stage. Stuck at "processed through facility" is a bit odd, hence my asking.

    It's the KBB oversized AOE Hound. They released a blue variant version as well, and it's pretty great. Solid construction, diecast, large, and relatively affordable. :thumb

    Thank you! Where do you find the place to purchase? I was looking on AliExpress but the shipping is like $30 to USA for some reason for the one I saw

    It's a recoloured OSKO:

    - TF4 AoE Hound OS Blue - TF-Movie - SirToys.com

    Mine has floppy elbow joints and one elbow joint has part of it snapped off (around the pin, which hasn't affected anything though).

    There's also a dessert camo version. If anyone can confirm if their blue/green/camo versions don't have floppy elbow joints, I might get one or two again from Sirtoys, as I want to remove the head and do a custom head.

    I settled on "Riotgear", as someone pointed out the new Cyberverse cartoon has that character?

    BMB TLK Megatron 1:1 KO is cheap and great. TLK Megatron is probably the best Bayverse Meg's.

    If you like that, you can also consider the more upscaled WeiJiang version:



    Or UT Dragoon with it's brilliant engineering:




    KBB has a black version of OSKO AOE Lockdown that has decent quality and looks cooler than the brown version. The KO is quite cheap as well:



    The best AOE Hound is WeiJiang Black Apple:



    TLK Hound is not bad, either.

    BMB 1:1 KO is cheap and good quality:



    Dr Wu has an upgrade kit that gives Hasbro/BMB TLK Hound a transformable minigun that's cool:

    https://youtu.be/QcO0Eonjs00

    WeiJiang also has an OSKO version of TLK Hound with diecast and army green that's also good quality and cost a bit more than the BMB version:

    Other Bayverse bots that caught my eye but I've yet to buy:

    Never mind. I just got a bunch of updates from this past week. Seems it was getting scanned, but the tracking apps weren't showing the updates. So something was indeed weird, but not with the package or the post, lol

    That Silverbolt and Cyclonus look so good.
    What a pity they seem to be such low quality ko productions. If only CBB had done them in these decos.

    I got mine at Sirtoys (who still carries it) but shipping for individual items isn't cheap there either. I always make large orders to save on the shipping costs.

    Regarding loose elbows, I owned both the green version and the blue. On both figures, the elbows are a bit looser than the other joints (which are very firm), but not to a problematic degree. They can still hold their guns with a bent arm. It's a straight pinned joint, so tightness might vary between figures. Beyond that uncertainty, the whole piece feels very high-quality, and nothing has broken on either of them

    Hm. Not exciting to me. If you really want weathering that messy, you could probably do it yourself. It doesn't look great in my opinion.

    Did you include the 'plastic crack addicts' phrase in your explanation to the people you buy the baggies from? :lol

    Does anyone know if any of the cassette/tablet bots from Titans Return (Laserbeak, Ravage, Rumble, etc) have ever been oversized? One of those figures at around the size of a standard smartphone would be pretty cool to have.
