    I think they just generally put it up that high so that it’s still “free” shipping to the US. As far as I know Showz doesn’t change prices based on country, just shipping prices.

    I got a message that the item was shipped from China.

    It will arrive at the delivery area around Monday-Tuesday.

    This is a product I am personally looking forward to.

    I plan to shoot a video right away on the day I receive the item.

    Transformation will be prepared by a lot of other people through video,

    so, I will focus on analyzing the robot mode.

    This item is weighed 3KG, air shipment itself is abt 85yuan from TB, which isess than 15 USD. Still no idea why ShowZ charged that high

    It's essentially averaging out the free shipping into the cost. showz probably didn't know the individual unit size when they put the initial price up, so they are increasing it now to recover some of the shipping costs.

    Just ordered this guy from ShowZ for £77. Was basically given £15 worth of points since a recent order I made got reduced in price so they gave me the difference without me even asking which is great since that basically pushed this guy down to the price that I thought he was actually worth. Will be nice to have a proper sentinel prime now :)

    i think it could, but i have a crippling suspicion that they will stick out and make the silhouette of the shield look terribly wrong

    So the way they hide the lower wheel in the leg is pretty clever. I feel like the backpack on this one is worse then the SS almost, it's on par size wise with the old leader, unless you swap it out. I wish I could like this, because the paint looks incredible and some of the fixes are great. But the partsforming, and overall size unfortunately make this a pass.

    I still wonder if I should display him with my BMB Optimus or the BC-01 prime..
    I can not wait to compare them when this beast comes in!

    Yeah, what @artimus prime said.

    If you're looking for the Alien Attach DOTM Megs thread, you're gonna wanna walk three blocks north to the Unique Toys DOTM Megs thread, take left next to the OSKO MPM-4 thread, and then take a bus from the Unique Toys drama thread to the Alien Attack Cogman thread, then the DOTM Megs thread should be on your right.
