    Nope, but like @4249david already wrote, they were closed because of the holidays there. I wonder how long mine will take to reach me. I can't recall, but apparently I went cheap on the shipping so it might take a while to get here. Hopefully we'll all get shipping notices from them soon.

    Still (im)patiently waiting for GameStop. Even though it says right in the order it’s not expected until the 25th, I still check daily. I’m very excited

    I’ve been around the boards long enough to know Uncle Billy is legit and trustworthy, but what is his service like to the US? I just put a cart together of $88US and in the shipping estimator the options that came up were “flat rate” and “free,” both coming to $0US. Is that for real? Is it super slow, tolerable, or fast?

    How long does it take for you to get a reply? I still got nothing since I sent them the contact form Last Friday on 10/1.

    What a beautiful specimen. Just as solid and perfect as my MP 52.

    Transformation, as we all know, is a joy. A fantastic mold. Really, not much else to say. The colors are amazing and just counting the days until we get Skywarp, and eventually, the Coneheads.

    QC is 10/10 just like every single other MP I've acquired in the last 20 years or so; except for MP 09/09B and MP 47. A great record by TT if I say so myself.

    Now please TT, show the king some love and tease MP Galvatron already.

    Cheers, I found it on Uncle Billy and RoboToyBase. It's $3 cheaper for the figure on RoboToyBase but the shipping is $10. Whereas...
    I had the same issue. Both options came to $0 so I just opted for 'free' rather than 'flat rate'.

    It was dispatched within hours and I got a Yanwen Post (? it end in YP and is currently in Yanwen) tracking number. The tracking site I was given was SF Express though (although I habitually use 17track).

    I got sick of those dark clear windows and painted the inside.

    I wish they weren't as orange tinged because i used light canary yellow and they still came out a bit orange but better in my eyes than the default

    Interestingly enough the jet mode cockpit canopy does not have the orange tinge and looks way more yellow when painted

    I can't say that I'm a fan of the opaque looking canopy. I'm quite happy with the translucent canopy and very happy TT went with it for the actual release.
    At least this way, those of us that prefer the translucent get our preference and those that prefer the opaque can simply paint the back side and get their preference. It wouldn't be an option if TT went with the opaque from the factory.

    Probably should've painted it white instead. Dont believe me? Put a sheet of white paper pressed into the inside of the faux cockpit.

    I can honestly say, MP-52+ Thundercracker is the most beautiful figure I own to date.... I think he is absolutely stunning! Starscream is a close second also..... I cant freakin wait till Skywarp releases, also I dont expect him to beat TC.

    Looks great, but I'll wait for some cellshaded stickers from Toyhax. I fell in love after buying the first set, for both Ratchet and Ironhide and been buying them ever since.

    It truly is a beautiful figure. Aesthetically very, very impressive. The mold is great.

    I still like MP29+ more though, that thing is just the stuff of heavens.
