    Is everybody pretty much content with the wing configuration where the open rectangle hole faces forward (since that's the official configuration)? That open rectangle started bothering me for some strange reason. I decided to peg that wing component on the front to fill the hole, but then the other wing connectors are now more visible.

    First world problems, I know.

    I stopped buying from them after my credit card was stolen when their payment processor got hacked. Can't believe people still buy from them after their security problems.

    So sorry to read about your experience with TFSource. They seriously suck! Never ever use them again! They are shady af.

    I didn't find out about the CC hack until recently, but I believe I was affected by it, as I had been using TFSource for a couple months at that point...I knew my card was compromised, I just didn't know where it happened at the time. They were a decent service the first couple years I used them, but it seems like once I started having problems with them, they became more problematic, and less willing to fix the issues...Unicron was pretty much the only thing in my stack since last October when I finally had enough of their BS and piss-poor apathetic customer service.

    I’m glad it’s Optimus Prime, since that’s not TFTM canon and thus meaningless to me.

    Yeah, I kind of feel you. But if they make exactly 15 of these miniatures and there is 1 empty spot on the Unicron head stand because I skipped this, my life will lose all meaning

    Looking like TFS-Express getting these in at the same time as Kapow are?

    I have never had any issues with TFSOURCE and their customer service was excellent with the few issues I had with QC

    Here's why your China to UK drop was cheap vs. using a 3rd party source to the UK and why the UK got royally bollocks'ed by say TFSource which I admit failed more than they delivered:

    Nah. Bbts charge more upfront on every item. They pay for shipping that way. Its built into the selling model.

    He is the crown jewel for sure. I found one of those World Smallest Transformers of Optimus to put in one hand, and a tiny Grimlock from a Hershey kiss toy in the other.

    Removed the kibble after transforming back and forth one more time. I need to work on everyone's poses, but it's coming along!

    My Unicron from Ebay is coming tomorrow. I feel like a kid on Christmas eve. I just hope he shows up before I'm supposed to leave for work or I'll have to call in.

    They are a combination of Tamashii Stage Act.4 and Act.5 parts, along with some extensions that I designed and printed (white).

    Their prices are consistently cheaper than TFSource, who offers free shipping, though... Maybe you haven't visited the site lately...

    i will just wait for 3p to roll out a small high quality set of mini rice figs for all of the slots. that should be an extremely simple task for them.
    i am really feeling you stand offs. they are simple yet quite effective i see....kudos;)
