I decided to snag myself one of these bad boys from TFSafari this evening. They should have it in 2-3 weeks and then another 2 weeks or less for him to hit the door step; went with the express shipping for $19. Should make a nice pre-holidays treat.

 

I tend to ride my luck if the price difference is big enough, but I just drew the short end of the straw on a GI Joe Retro Grunt so maybe I should be conservative this time around...

... anyway, I figure he'll wait until after 11/11 just to be safe.

 

Man, I had this in transit since October 20th. I forgot I ordered it lol.

 

@Grendel163 welp, that's what you get for living on Olympus Mons  

 

Finally, for what seemed like years lol. His box is huge!!! Definitely worth the wait and looks super better in hand.

 

Congrats! Any QC problems?

 

Can we get more pics of the hips pushed down? Thanks

 

Thanks! No QC problems at all. All parts are where they're supposed to be and nothing is missing. I haven't tested out the electronics on it yet though.

 

Oh mama, he's almost here! Due to arrive on Monday, so excited! I dug out a few of my MPMs and similarly-scaled figs.

 

Mine hasn’t even been cleared through customs. It’s been 20 days with no updates except that it arrived to US

 

TFSafari has not gotten their second shipment yet so I am still in the holding pattern waiting for it to arrive and ship. Maybe by January I will have it in hand.

 

Nope, BA Prime will not work with this guy.

 

What do you mean, too big or too small?

 

I know he doesn't scale perfectly but I really like how they look

 

Have BA prime next to my sentinel and they look awesome together tbh.

 

How do the vehicle modes look together?

 

Took a picture of them together a bit ago, I’ll try and find it for ya. They looked pretty nice for me.

 

Oh. Em. Gee.

He was supposed to arrive on Monday.

He's here. Now.



And brother, does he mean business.

A quick check has revealed he is complete and with no QC issues of consequence; one hip joint seems looser than the other, and the handles on his smaller blades/kibble are really tight, too tight to try to bend. Easy fixes.

That's BMB DOTM Optimus up there with Sentinel. OP's vehicle mode is a little too big but these two look too good together for me to care.

If I were millionaire, I swear I'd buy one for all you guys.

 

Mine just posted that it shipped. Two weeks is to long to wait for this bad ass dude. So glad I paid for the faster shipping ($19); the email said the normal shipping can take up to 90 days from the time the carrier takes possession.  

 

I would love the 5 Pillar crates that he had on his roof after leveling NEST HQ. Can one of you geniuses 3D print such a thing?

Edit- Also Megatron's shotgun in this OS MPM scale please.
