Weird. My Nightbird has been in the state since Sunday, about 45-minutes away, but scheduled for delivery Wednesday. I think they're holding shipments until the courier truck is worth sending out due a labor shortage.
I got her yesterday, I haven’t had time to open her due to work. I think Im going to wait for Skywarp and then open them both.
Just paid at AmiAmi. She still looks cool, though I will be swapping her sex doll face for the generic face. I think the sex doll face is far better suited for Arcee, anyway
I received mine from Amazon Japan yesterday. My Arcee was better paint quality wise. There are some light marks here and there, but nothing serious. Overall a nice figure. The Arcee mold lends itself great for Nightbird. The articulation allows for some great ninja moves. Being a cartoon person most of all, she'll likely be in robot mode most of the time. Most of the accessories will remain in my Masterpiece accessories box. Hopefully the effect parts fit on other Decepticon weapons too, but I haven't tried. I've seen a few backpacks being mistransformed or not compressed enough, so now that everyone is receiving theirs, I'm expecting more of this. I've made a quick photo to show how much the backpack can be compressed, which hopefully helps a bit.
My copy arrived today. It was scheduled for tomorrow, but ended up coming this afternoon. Never experienced the Arcee mold and decided to give this one a go. It's probably going to be my last MP purchase, so I wanted to make it good. Overall... not bad. Car mode is sleek and solid, and the bot mode is phenomenal as far as articulation goes. Well, it could have a better ab crunch, but what it has is workable. I can say I didn't enjoy the transformation. Compressing that backpack is a lesson in patience, and it's really hard to tell when you're done. The only real disappointment is that the hands don't articulate forward to allow for a proper hold on the swords, and as such, they will be staying in the box forever, alongside that awful surprised face and tiny pistol she can't seem to hold well. In the end, I don't regret the purchase whatsoever, and am happy to have her on my shelf.
how are y'all getting your shipments through amazon? did it ship DHL? mine shipped SF Express and it's not expected to be delivered until 3/10. never had it shipped by this company before....but it'll be the longest an amazon package will take to get to me
It has always just been the default Amazon Global International Shipping...guess I never paid attention but it looks like it should default to Priority vs standard
It was a pre order from Amazon JP. Have done plenty of pre orders there and this time was just odd is all. Oh well
