That's one thing I was thinking when messing around with mine, you can use the wing blades on his arms for the arm cannons, but then you're without the wings. It would've been nice to have the extra bits so he could have both arm cannons and wings on display at the same time.

 

Daaaaaammmmnnnnnnn..... Shoulda gotten that black StarSaber, I see.

 

What a shot!  

 

Hopefully, US stores will be getting the same batch as everyone else's. Products made right after CNY tend to be problematic QC wise.

 

In stock now at bluefin, scored mine

Megatron "Transformers", Flame Toys Kuro Kara Kuri

 

I think Bluefin is the US distributor for Flame Toys products? So yeah, getting optimistic that some US retailers will get their shipment sometime this month.

 

Nope

 

Not yet, no.

 

I have a feeling that Flame Toys is still producing the figure for the overseas retailers. I am seriously annoyed because we might get a lower quality figure.

 

That seems like worrying needlessly.

 

It's that time after Chinese New Year. New workers, new supervisors, etc in many factories. Happens every year.

 

Sideshow says April/May.

 

TCP pushing the release date to April  

Edit: likewise for USA Gundam Store.

 

This is not a USA GS issue though. No one this side of the Pacific has this. Not even a single one of the site sponsors.

Before Chinese New Year hit, I think Flame Toys produced enough for the D4 store POs, and the Hong Kong market and that's it.

 

Really glad I got mine from D4 despite the extra cost.

 

Absolutely. I mean look at TCP. They opened a PO for the regular version 3K Optimus Prime a year or two ago, and Flame Toys never bothered to fulfill that order
