Wouldn't blame you for skimming, that video is long for my own taste of my own video, lol...gonna see if I can knock them all down to 20mins or so, unless it really needs that time.  

 

It looks okay. It’s a bit distracting in red, but I’d much rather have the embossed looking one if it was available.

 

Is this guy worth it? If so, what price limit would be recommended to pay? I’ve seen him priced between £90 and up to £160 on eBay as well as elsewhere

 

@Joalro, nice shots! Your Bee is very expressive, I love the action poses!

I paid $100 USD shipped and was very satisfied with that price. Unlike Newage DOTM Soundwave who at $150 is a stretch even for an amazing figure.

Indoor night time proving a bit more difficult, also kind of challenging making BB out to appear life size. I guess that’s where the weathering breaks down.

 

Mine delivered from baba on Saturday, 8 days from shipping which is a record for me. Had just a few minutes to take him out today and first impression is - impressive detail but wow a bit fiddly. Chest wasn't pegging in right, and one of the leg shins unpegs a bit too easily. Going to have to spend some quality time to work things out a bit.

Also the box feels extremely light but the figure in hand feels okay.

Definitely oozes character though, as the pics just a few posts above clearly show!

 

Definitely worth it in my opinion. Omegalock UK has it in stock for £95ish + postage so I'd recommend them. ShowZ was more or less the same but would take a little longer to arrive.

 

Where can I get faction logos that small? I've tried looking around ebay and reprolabels doesn't make anything that small AFAIK. I would prefer actual stickers as I hate water slide decals, but if that really is the only option for getting them that small then I'll bite.

 

I got mine from Uncle Billy Shop. Yes, they are water slide and they’re intended for LT-03/MPM-03 Bumblebee, and LT-02/MPM-04 Optimus Prime, but the smallest inverted logo kinda works. It’s too bad I can’t get them in a darker color.
Ocean Studio Autobot Logo Water applique for MPM03 Bumblebee /MPM04/MPM07, In stock!

 

Ah thanks. I’ve seen a lot of ocean studio stuff on eBay before in the past. Maybe I just have to accept that water slide is the only way to do such small things...

 

So I'm not sure if I did anything wrong or not... but the angle title reallllly feels crowded. It's hard to move the feet, and especially straighten them out with the leg, because there is a lot of stuff getting in the way.

Is this normal, or should I be trying to figure out what I did wrong?

 

I don't believe you did anything wrong Joalro. The ankle will feel crowded until you learn what angles it will move in...inward, forward and back.

 

I would say that's probably my biggest complaint overall. I feel like if they could have just managed to give a little more clearence, it would make the figure feel so much better. There are a few other negatives, like the shoulders don't lock in SUPER nicely. Yes, I can plug the chest into the shoulders, but anytime I try to move the arms it unpegs. Having to move out the shoulder pads any time I want to twist the arms are a pain, and I find the belly doesn't tab in super well. But all of these don't bother me too much, just means I gotta do a little extra fiddling to get those great poses.

But those feet just feel bad and really limit what you can.

Oh well. Gotta say, first transformation was definitely more than I'm used to. I actually had to look at the instructions at one point because I was beginning to feel a little in over my head. Some pieces I wasn't exactly sure how they came unpegged, some I had suspicions but they felt tight. Even with instruction, getting the back of the cab right, positioning the arms was kinda weird and took me a bit.

Second transformation though? Went nice in smooth, got him into car mode no issue, no instruction, no problems. Honestly, even after transforming him twice though it's so hard to imagine all of that car coming out of that robot. Totally crazy.

 

Subsequent transformations have definitely gone smoother for me since I learned how to tab the side panels and thighs to the forearms and make them nice and compact. The trick I discovered is that the bottom hinge connecting the thigh to the side panels is double jointed and allows you to align the calf piece slot to the forearm tab so that the sides don't bulge.

 

Just ordered this from Omegalock, at £95 it's more than I'd like to pay for a figure this small but I spent a few hours comparing all the options and it looks the best in bot mode and I'm not that bothered about alt mode accuracy. Going to have to spend some time reading through the thread for things to be aware of or warned about now.

 

Yikes, this fell out of the box. Anyone know where this is supposed to go? Thanks in advance.

 

Looks like the side part of the front fender in alt-mode. They sit on the outside of the feet normally, should hopefully be able to find a ball-like hole there missing a piece!

 

Thank you so much! That's the part!  

 

Great! No problem at all!
