    LOL, no, but that's a good idea! :p  I was in a hurry just to snap some shots, so I could pack it back up. Both are mistransformed in my haste.

    In the last year, yes. Western dealers get first release due to certain agreements. Mostly because they offered more money upfront.

    So having this guy now for a few weeks, I still think I prefer the Taraka one just a bit more. I wont get rid of AW because I just love Soundwave so much and he does look good. Don't get me wrong! Just when looking at the official, I like the silver, darker blue and the more more menacing face. I do dislike the official's hips and wish there was a little aftermarket upgrade for that. I hope AW gets an "X" treatment to do a color scheme like that. I think that would push me fully over the edge to liking AW all the way.

    I'm still getting the tapes. Definitely after experiencing in person, they are way better than the official! But I'm just purchasing to complete the team. I still use MMC's for my main display. I'll just have to find another spot for display to appreciate AW.

    Also, Rumble and Frenzy look better if you push their shoulders into their body.

    Indeed, fairly sure the pulling out of the arms is just for the pylons.

    upload_2021-12-23_5-7-39.png I saw this at 2:46 in Part 5, when I went back through to watch the first 3 again. They had added 2 (P1 and P5) more videos to the user guide, showing the factory mode adjustment, and accessory guide section

    Just got my balance payment request for the cassettes from Bombusbee.

    £74.25 + deposit £11.75 = £86.00 total.
    That's including postage.

    Are Bluebot's hips stiffer than Redbot's?

    Just paid the balance ($73.99) on the Tapes with Bombusbee plus additional $22 for shipping.

    So $109 (£81) in total when taking account of the initial deposit payment of $15 and a $2 coupon I used.

    I doubt it will take 7 days to reach me like Soundwave did, especially taking into account the festive period and new year approaching.
