Wisconsin here too. Shocked that it was only shipped like a week and a half ago!

 

I ordered mine from ShowZ on July 1st and it cleared customs in LA yesterday. Hoping it'll be here this week.

I ordered the Gigapower Slag from Terry's TF Club the same day and it hasn't really had any updates other than the USPS is expecting the shipment. So God only knows when I'll see that one.

 

Bought from ShowZ. Wisconsin since 7-8 here too.

This guy was actually coming very fast compared to most of my packages from China! Until he hit Wisconsin, anyways! Lol.

This will still be a quick shipment if it gets here this week.

I gotta be fair here and say that this process is 1000x better than SAL.

 

I’m still waiting on my GP Slag since the end of April.

 

Ouch. Another case of SAL brutality.

 

Guttur party in Wisconsin!

 

My last order from Terry's took 11 days June 29th to July 9th. Try parcelsapp and you may see updated movement that some other services don't seem to pick up on.

 

My last tracking update was “Departed Pitney Bowes Facility”, oooh about 200 miles away (or a 3 hour drive)….

….on 7/7/21. over FIVE damn days ago.

PB truly living up to their infamy.  

 

My Guttur arrived in New Berlin, Wisconsin on July 8, but then immediately zoomed off to Grove City, OH over the weekend. And amazingly only spent 2 days in Grove City instead of the normal week. He's now arrived and is in my hot little hands.

I guess my Guttur was the only one to escape the New Berlin facility before the Kommandant cracked down on the prisoners. Sorry to hear so many folks still waiting and its baffling how another box made it through so quickly on the exact same day and likely the exact same pallet.

But after looking the box over at the office I was shocked to find out "To prevent this toy from tipping inside the packaging or its parts falling off, do not squeeze this toy from above". What the hell does that mean? Squeezing it from above what? I'm now terrified of going any further. At least until I finish work, buy some groceries, and have a chance to properly pull the big guy out once I'm home.

 

Wisconsin party member here too. What's really odd is The_Allspice's was there along with us, but somehow he got his over the weekend. How is it a singular Dinoboi got sent off while the rest of us are just sitting from the 8th on?

 

Shipping workers threw out their shoulders moving heavy plastic transforming dinos  

 

I apologize to the other Wisconsin captives. My bad luck must be rubbing off!  

 

Might have actually been me. As i once heard "I could fall in a barrel of titties & come out sucking my own thumb".

 

My guy arrived earlier today. Arrived in good condition. The box itself was a bit damaged and slightly open because whoever wrapped it put the corner protectors on the polystyrene block inside the box and wrapped that in the bubble wrap, rather than… you know… the box.



The figure is fine though, as far as I can tell. I’ve yet to transform it, but it’s a lovely weighty thing. I do wish the tail and head moved a bit more* but that’s not a major issue.



One thing I find a bit odd: the front feet look like they should swivel at the wrist. One is even in a slightly different position to the other, but they don’t want to move. Or maybe it’s just stiff, but I didn’t want to risk damaging it. Maybe it’s just a case of loosening the screws, but I’m not clear if there actually is an axle there.

Overall, so far very pleased.

A nice feature: I didn’t realise that the gun has a peg allowing it to be fitted to the dinosaur, just like the rocket missile launcher. It’s a bit of a weird look, but it’s nice to have the option. And a piece to store the sword in robot mode was also nice. I missed that with Grassor.

*Grassor’s tail moves quite a bit, but the dinosaur who’s main weapon is it’s tail can hardly move it at all.

 

I can neither confirm nor deny that I am in possession of a Snarl.

 

And outta the blue I'm scheduled for delivery tomorrow. Here's hoping we all get tiny little cheese wedge hats to put on our figures for the hassle.

EDIT: and yes i did go look on ebay for a tiny little cheese wedge hat to put on Snarl. While i can buy 1:6 scale phalli packs, i cannot buy a wearable cheesewedge hat.  

 

Woohoo, my Guttur has broken free from Wisconsin and has made his way up to Clinton, PA. Got a little ways to go but it's getting close!

 

That did it. Thanks!

 

Sold off the FT Dinos about a year ago figuring I would cash in on the craziness and just settle for Giga. After completing the set, I am more satisfied with their shelf presence than I was with the former versions.

 

Those front feet do swivel at the wrist front/back side to side. I'm not sure what type of pivot is used but they do. Maybe they restricted the tail movement so it doesn't have huge gaps when split in bot mode? For it to move more, there would have to be a wider gap on both sides and I think it would throw off the aesthetic. My   He looks great! I'm getting anxious!
