I hope so. When I was on live chat with them earlier; I asked them to cancel my preorder and they said they couldn’t (or wouldn’t) and implied there’d be some form of financial penalties. I’m sure if I raised some sort of hell with the credit card company, I can get this to resolve in my favor but I’m not willing to go there …yet.
This is non-debatable for me. lol I simply will not pay for a good that is 4 months past their quoted release, nor be hold to do so. They can go to hell on that one. This kind of stuff EATS me up when companies try and and pull shenanigans like this. I am good at writing very closed ended, this is what I'm doing, and that's that emails.
I had been so preoccupied with NECA TMNT that I forgot I ordered this. Got it from TFSource without the slip cover. He's a lot grayer in hand, but great nonetheless.
Weird, the first pic doesnt have the kneepads up, but then the second pic does! I need to stop thinking about the kneepads!
I'm fully with you that they should allow you to cancel your order to be good citizens, if nothing else. But keep in mind that if they got their inventory from Hasbro Pulse, then they would have just received it. There are a number of other online stores that are just shipping Skywarp now, so the timing may be entirely out of their hands.
I finally got my 3 Seekers, my only objective criticism is that the connection to the stand is pretty tight... I got some dents in Skywarp's port trying to put him on the fly stand. Overall quite happy with them.
Im in the same boat, still waiting on my pre-orders for both Skywarp AND Thundercracker, i think a lot of places have been screwed over by late shipments from wherever, but... i can wait, I try to support local businesses wherever I can, and at £175 including postage, I'm not gonna complain. Just going to be patient. Probably will have the first two trainbots first at this rate though!
Just got my skywarp Friday. Right hip and knee have NO ratchet at all! I opened him up and all the pieces are there, and no breaks but still no ratchet. It's some defect that I can't spot. Even opened the good side to compare to. Anyway it's going back to tfsource.com for replacement
Applied some white blutack on the inside of the faux robot mode cockpits as suggested by a user a while back, and my god it makes the seekers pop!
How the hell did you get it in there? I tried using some but no matter how thin I spread it out it was always preventing me from closing everything up. I had to resort to using cotton...
For those who have successfully used blue tack on the faux cockpit. How exactly did you go about it? How did you get it thin enough to sit in there?
I essentially completely disassembled the upper body (so the jet nose/head was flipped over and ab crunch enabled with the head moved out the way) so you have unrestricted access to the inside of the faux cockpit and I rolled a small ball maybe 1cm in diameter, I stuck that to the centre of the inside of the cockpit and spread it out, it takes a bit of force but just take your time and then I just transformed them back to robot mode and had no issues with the blutack there. I hope this helps!
That would be me. Mid transformation. Spread it out a few mm gently with your forefinger. Complete transformation. Easy peasy, takes 5 mins for all 3: You can see how far you need to press it as you go from turning it every so often. Just needs to be thick enough to sit between cockpits and not hinder movement.
First official MP. Definitely not the last. Will say I got a very tiny crack on one of the tailfins right out the box. I’ve read about that popping up on a lot of copies. Has it gotten worse for anybody that has it?
