    Lol, so today I see that my Thundercracker order shows Awaiting carrier pickup on GameStops site when yesterday it was shipped. Using the tracking number that was previously showing (its not displayed on GS site anymore) it's been stuck in Tracy CA for a couple days which if where FedEx usually gets bottlenecked. So tomorrow, we'll see!

    Who lost their order? I missed that. I've seen some posts about issues with shipping or them taking too long, but who exactly had an order cancelled?

    I’m not sure about that. I ordered when the news broke about the sale in mid January at 3am. My order was filled. We are an impatient lot. The distribution has been on the random side, maybe due to region.

    To clarify I meant still hasn’t received their order like BenLeong who ordered a while back and only has 1 out of 2 on the way.

    Thanks for clarifying: GS has not cancelled anyone's order on this product. A couple of members, including myself experienced long ship times and issues with shipping, but as of yet not one order is cancelled without their request. I read "lost their order from Gamestop" meant it's lost forever with no finding it: cancelled.

    Your post came across as GS cancelling orders without notice, which was mentioned a lot back by many when this discount appeared. It put many people off from taking the chance of buying one and so many could have saved a pretty penny here.

    Thanks for clearing up the misinformation. Hope everyone that is having an issue gets things settled soon so we can al start enjoying this great figure together.

    Yay, GS cracker showed up, even though no shipping notice and still saying awaiting carrier pickup on the site

    Boo, just as weak kneed and loose ankled as my screamer

    Mine showed up today as well, still shows Awaiting carrier pickup on their site. Haven't had a chance to open and check him out yet though. :D

    He's nice other than those faults. Now that I know to move the thruster back at an angle, the loose angles aren't an issue. Might try to replace the knee springs since that did wonders for screamer

    Nice. If you do, maybe you could reference the type of springs you're using in case others want to try the same. ;)

    I can't remember what kind they were...just some from lowes, I think. I had to cut them down. Could probably just stretch the originals out and get a similar effect

    Has anyone paint matched TC yet? I have one very small blue paint chip, but I'd like to fix if possible

    That makes me feel a bit better since mine has been hanging on 'awaiting carrier pickup' since 12/4 so maybe it is actually on the way from GS. trying to call them now though

    That still doesn't guarantee a good copy, and I have to deal with selling them all. I suppose I could post a wanted topic in the Junkion Exchange for one to my liking.

    I’m also curious about this. Got some display options I’m considering but been holding off on that because of this exact concern. I haven’t heard much so far.

    Yeah, don't bother going by their site. As long as it's not cancelled it should arrive soon I would think. I think they're just delayed from all the holiday shipping

    Haven’t heard of any issues yet from both this and MP-52 Starscream. I could be wrong but I don’t think there’s any paint on the actual effect parts themselves, or at least their socket connections. Given that they’re made out of hard plastic, there might not be anything to worry about.

    Latest update: my 1-of-2 Thundercrackers still hasn’t left Texas, where it was shipping from. Was supposed to have been delivered today, but now it says “Pending.”
