    Thanks for the info. I am not based in the states were a few of the people were asking the guy who owns BBB what the rate will be, he said he didn't know yet, but it'll definitely be hefty at that weight. I've got mine preordered with show z but their shipping is usually pretty sound from past experiences. Mind you'd this would be the heaviest figure I've got from there so I'm curious how much it'll cost now :D

    You're UK based like @SJW , yeah? I'd expect close to £100 for this to ship. He's huge as well as heavy. It's a big old box. Put it this way, the shipping carton only hold two of him.

    Yep, UK too. I hope the customs lot don't go nuts when it does turn up. The gigpower dinobots are in a pretty big box and the pumpkin unicron, but this sounds like it's going to be massive :D  Good job it's not out soon, gives more time to prepare for the impact :D

    Shock oil works wonders.

    The rumor I heard is that this guy is set for May at some Eastern E-tailers.

    Had to get them to a spot in the garage just so they can both fit in the frame, the recently arrived DX9 vs the statuesque (in many senses of the word) FT.

    Make sure to use silicone-based though.
    Oil-based lubricants might damage the plastic over time.

    Did you 3D printed the Autobot insignia yourself? or where did you get that? Wanna get one for mine also.

    As M Alex has identified this insignia was purchased by me from @jream . I’ve provided a screenshot from a post jream had made regarding these insignias. Message him to find out if the pricing is still the same and if he can help.

    I attached it with blue tack. Has remained on for 18 months with no movement. Holds perfectly.

    hey just a random post here. but has anyone heard from @jream recently??? the dude hasn't been on for a minute now and he was a pretty regular staple around here. i hope he is doing well and hopefully someone here is in contact with him outside of the board.

    I reached out to him since he hasn't logged in since well...forever. I didn't get an email back and we might not have been best buds but we got along. Not sure what happened. :(
