    Have you tried pushing the mask in rather than pulling it down for the LED’s to turn on? I thought mine didn’t work as well but I just wasn’t using it correctly. As for the loose faceplate, you can try getting a little piece of paper and wedge it in one of the hinges and it should be fine.

    Is anyone else in Canada still waiting for ShowZ free shipping? I asked about it, but they said "Yes. but it is a method from China Post. It may be returned to us in high possibility. Because F-09 is special, the inside batteries can't be taken out."

    I got mine from baba and he shipped the guns separately from the toy to avoid that issue. Maybe Show z can do the same?

    Edit: I paid extra for shipping though.

    Urgh, I'm really unlucky, "CN, Import process cancelled in country of origin". Whatever that means.

    Couldn't get through customs. Probably cuz of the batteries. I guess they must x-ray them or something.

    I used a piece of packaging window plastic to shim the mask on my copy. Might be a little difficult to see but the right side has the added piece on the forward backward head/mouth plate pivot. 16040116013028060145916694148709.jpg

    Don't think so, as all my 3rd parties shipped with battery, including this and nemesis.

    One thing to ensure is the seller written down the product name. Previously I used to unable to pay as the item unable to ship to my country or I cant choose air ship due to the product name description. Seller always ask buye to pay for shipping cost which is equivalent to the item cost. When it reach the warehouse, they refuse to accept due to unable to verify the product

    So you gotta check if warehouse has accepted it or not. If warehouse accepted, it shouldn't have any issue to clear custom

    Are they fucking kidding me?

    Any of this crap happened to anybody else here? It's the first time I hear that kind of excuse. I constantly buy stuff from ebay and never have any issues, what's happening with Show.Z?

    If they are in Hong Kong they are cracking down there and limiting shipping options. I’ve seen many of my old favorite stores have only limited expensive options for shipping, when it used to be really cheap. All over China they are having similar issues.

    Especially since the states started trade issues with China. Then China responded in kind.

    But don't they ship using SAL from Beijing/Shanghai? Also why would the issues with the US affect Europe?

    Does it mean the more expensive shipping options might work?

    Ok folks I am back with my mailed replacement parts. This is my first surgery.

    The pin attaching connecting the double loop section to the arm was not installed, which it was why it was just the loose peg into the arm. In pic 1 you'll see the new joint installed in the arm, alongside the original "joint" and the peg that I still need to install, that was easy.

    My next problem (pic 2) is that I cannot remove the peg (the indented circle) from the original loops. It's jammed in tight, and I've managed to rotate it up/down exactly one time. There's not a lot of room for me to get to the peg, and it only goes out one way. Anything I can do to help myself out here so I can remove that piece of plastic?
