Some of those do make the fake cockpit look too large and bulbous. Hmm. I'd be tempted to use the real one, given the earlier pictures!

 

Ah, gee, wow! Er, you too!  

 

Very happy with this guy

 

What Vortex n Brawl is this?

 

Replaced the springs in the knee and he feels way more sturdy now. I can hold by the lower legs while he's standing and shake with zero movement. Before he'd want to tip backwards at the lightest touch. There's still some play in the knee before the ratchets kick in. Not sure what that's about. I couldn't find exact size springs, so I used some with the same diameter and cut them longer so they were tighter when compressed down. Was a real pain in the ass to get back together

 

Unique Toys.

 

Here it is, I thought I would be able to twist the piece on since there are threads but it does not work out. Seems like I shall try out that hammer & pinpunch method

 

There's a clusterfk issue with their shipper Asendia which uses USPS. Have they charged you for the Cream now or not charged at all?

 

I haven’t been charged for mine yet and don’t assume I will be until it’s ready to ship

 

Did anyone with a damaged copy order through TCP? It's been 48 hours since I hit them up requesting an exchange after the copy I ordered from them arrived damaged and it's been crickets. I didn't know which way to respond so I opened a ticket and sent an email. My first time using them instead of Agabyss, BBTS, or SZ and, as someone that fields customer inquiries from brokerages all day as part of my job, the lack of a response hasn't exactly wowed me. Didn't know what their typical response is, and if you have to actually call them to get an issue resolved.

 

Their communication is awful from my experience. Had an open ticket that just got closed when I replied back. Opened back another one where they said they'd look for a part I asked about and never heard back. At that point I just cancelled my pre-orders and went elsewhere

Well your experience along with @M Alex leaves me feeling like I made a better choice.
I do appreciate my boxes being clean.

I don’t believe he does, he only had one damaged figure. Let me see how my Starscreams surgery/complaint goes and I might be able to send you the part from mine.

Bro that is insane.
It’s official then! Nippon Yasan...complete trash!

 

If their stock is in hand then check your CC if its been charged. You can also check their site if it is ready onhand. Check your account folder too for status updates.

 

Yeah, that pin isn't threaded. It has retention ridges, not a helical plane. You can't twist to tighten. You'll probably need to glue the piece, because for the wing tip to pop off at all, the hole probably got deformed and mashed up a bit by the ridges on the pin, and the pin will no longer be able to grip the piece fully by pure mechanics alone.

 

This picture is amazing and has the best use of the smirking face he comes with to date....simply amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This guy is so photogenic and expressive, I can't wait for the other two to get here, especially Skywarp!

 

damn just noticed i have rubbed off paint on the inside of the intakes at the back , quite noticable too , has anyone managed to paint match that red? it has only been transformed a few times i should have just transformed it the once like i normally would and then left it alone !

this is the last time i order any takara mp's from anime export i have skids on pre order but after that it's it , the savings are not worth it anymore !!! at least with omegalock it won't be a ballache to send back

on mine , weak ankles , weak knee's more so the right one , shit paint that rubs off easy, intakes that even if you get them in the right place seem to work themselves loose ... all this extra money takara are charging and they still can't get it right

 

I touched up my paint chip with Mr Hobby Red. It's barely noticeable now. I'd say it's not 100%, but it's close.

When I asked the question in here, I got a reply from either @Jarrod or @BrutiKing and the offered a couple of alternatives. Just search the thread for Hobby and you'll find it.
