    Mine showed up yesterday - he is amazing and massive! Crazy detail. I need to dedicate some time to get to know him and his mechanics.

    Blast pegs are all over it. There are other parts of the ring where there is a peg facing forwards when counter clockwise and not clockwise. What's your point? As for the larger hollow bits I don't know what you're specifically referring to but yes obviously because of the way it was molded both sides will have more and fewer hollow areas in an alternating opposite fashion. A hollow point on one side is a solid point on the other. I've already posted several pictures with clear circles of the joints and how they very uniformly all favor one direction, in addition to the design and reference and official artwork and show materials all having it one way and the instructions being the one place they are backwards. You have the thing literally right in front of you, you can see what I'm talking about with your own eyes. I'm not ignoring anything, you can be certain.

    Did it ever occur to you i was commentating that I agreeing with you? Of course not. Like I was posting that I should ignore the blast effects?

    Oh I forgot to say that if you have the Platinum Edition Unicron or an Xbox Series X...well...he can use the Xbox as a podium or barrel and do a Captain Morgan pose hahaha. IMG_20210330_200650007.jpg IMG_20210331_183049600.jpg
    Oh also his head is as big as my Xbox Controller IMG_20210402_155615.jpg
    The stand is as deep as an Xbox Controller as well IMG_20210331_172723_712.jpg
    Oh and I noticed they put a sort of plastic hemisphere to protect the ball from styrofoam it seems, nice touch IMG_20210402_153952.jpg
    Lastly I love how the 3D printed ships by the awesome @Jesse guerra look alongside the original shuttle we got. IMG_20210402_155647.jpg
    PS his hands aren't as good as 3rd Party but he can at least do this 20210331_215458.jpg
    Hope you all enjoy the pictures! o7

    No it did not, because you've already made an argument that they go the other way because of the blast effects, and "Hey look clockwise rings" and "So ignore blast effects and the larger hollow bits" doesn't read like an agreement to me, but as pointing out evidence of a rebuttal. I apologize for misreading it and assuming it was accusing me of being incorrect and trying to open up more debate. I do maintain that the communication was unclear. I'm glad we're on the same page.

    I can get a pic of him doing it, it slipped my mind when I was doing the unboxing the other day.
    I have Sunday free so that'll be a fun day of messing around with him and possibly getting a video of him to put on my channel as a review.

    This is particularly funny to me based on an inside joke between me and my friends. That being that this hand gesture is how you curse someone like in Dark souls, with the turning into stone and stuff.

    Didn't end up getting delivered yesterday as originally planned despite arriving in my city on time... And now today another FedEx package got dropped off but not Unicron. Maybe they weren't on the same truck? But man, I know it's so close...

    I’m planning on transforming him either tonight or tomorrow but he appears to be feline approved.

    Mine was delivered by FedEx Home Delivery, which uses different trucks than FedEx Ground. I'm guessing the FedEx package you received today was FedEx Ground?

    BBTS said they are getting their stock any day now. Good news for those who ordered from them.

    Took two weeks and a lot of emails and phone calls, but today my Unicron finally has his head! Thanks, Hasbro, and thanks everyone on here who was supportive and encouraging. Good Friday, indeed. :)
