    Has anyone from the UK who ordered from an Asian store received theirs yet? I ordered mine from ShowZ and it has been 21 days without any tracking updates, even though I purchased express shipping. Maybe it's a shipping/import issue? I'll contact ShowZ but not sure if it's a fault on their end or not. :/

    Not in the UK but Netherlands I got mine today.. but the seller was honnest and told me he had delivery issues cause of the demand, that is why mine got here in 27 days (ordered him the moment I became aware of him) he is worth the wait.

    Yeah I've got a tracking number, but all it says is "Sender Dispatching Item" and has not updated since. If it was stuck in customs I should have had an update by now but nothing so far. I'll contact ShowZ to see what's up

    Usually, when it's not getting tracking updates it's still doing the oceanic transit thing...usually....mostly

    Can't wait to see your painting progress! And considering that mine will arrive in a few days or so, i'm stoked to see what i can improve on areas-

    He is painted nicely, but.. I am a perfectionist, and there are some minor blunders on him that I cant believe escaped the designers..
    I really love the red so If I can keep it that would be amazing but if not, a complete respray would be the way to go.

    the botmode is decent but If I redp the truck, no sense in keeping the bot another shade of red.

    Here is what I have on the truck so far:

    - the connectrors for the water should be bronze and orange warning labels,
    - flat black cabinpaint and shiny black bumper,
    - 07 should be before the cabin doors,
    - cabindoors have autobot logo and the lower window needs painting (gloss)
    - behind the driversdoor under the window a flat black bit puts the red in a point, that is mossing
    - Underside is a dark grey, not black
    - “rollerdoor” behind the cockpit should be grey first, then bodycolor behind (no rosenbauer logo
    - white stripes are the rong way around,
    They should be pointing up like military stripes, not down in a V
    - yellow rear bumper
    - right Ladders should be silver

    and some decals odds and ends.

    the botmode has some improvements with shading, decaling and paint to improve his looks.

    Dont get me wrong, he is impresive and beautiful but there is room for improvement ;-)

    I am collecting paint colors so A tread will be in Raficons before you know it!

    Same here, show.z site says shipped on 26/9, will be arriving via Royal Mail. I've put the number in the RM app, the only update I have from there (or 17track) is" 4/10 sender dispatching item"

    Dunno if it was coming via sea, in which case it could be anywhere...

    Edit: is this quite a bit box/heavy? Just wondering if it's stuck in customs somewhere...?

    Exactly what my tracking says.

    Express shipping has always been by air before, maybe the size of the box has changed that.

    it's all on the temptation to make it as accurate as it can be overall-

    so i don't see that much being an oddity-

    from all of the sites I've seen, i think Philippines has the lowest price that they'd offer for a figure of this scale- (around 70 or so below)

    well, conveniently, i live on it so the shipping is merely like a dime or so-

    and i mostly get to pay the price at retail, or reduce it with discounts-
