    To be fair considering he handles figures and transforms them like a caveman…. Not a very high bar.

    It looked like a mess in that video tho.

    BUT... still gotta admire the engineers and how they figured out all the... hinges, pivots, and numerous parts... and how to put it all together.

    Fixed.

    Whoever keeps donating their figures to BSF is the hardcorest masochist ever.

    Watching a BSF transformation video is like watching Dr. Pimple Popper. I spend the whole video squirming and cringing but I can't stop watching it. When it's over, I question why the hell I put myself through watching it. Then, another one comes out and I do it all over again.

    Maybe I'm the masochist.

    I knew this review was over when Bobby thought the shotgun weapon holder. Was a piece you leave on the weapon…..*smacks forehead* o_O 

    Respectfully I don’t get why Bobby does TF reviews anymore, when allot of the time lately he has no clue what he’s doing.

    I like how makes a disclaimer at the beginning about nothing breaking and two minutes into the video the thumb comes off and a metal bit falls off.

    That was an experience transforming this thing. 2 hrs it took me. Some parts are really fun. Some parts are crazy frustrating. Overall I enjoy the figure. Just need a nap afterwards.

    Do you think it will be significantly easier the next time you try it?

    I believe so. My main issue was lining up the arms. My next round will be going from alt mode to robot mode.

    The details look so shallow on this figure, like everything is a plate that covers something.

    Most US based stores still have him instock, TCP, TFSource, etc. As far as chinese e-retailers go, TFDirect has him. Wouldn't personally recommend them, but if your looking to save some dough, probably your best bet. ALIENATTACK TOYS AAT-01 MACKRON

    My experience is such, that they have piss poor communication. At times they increased shipping costs post sales, and I've spent months waiting for replacement parts. From what others have noted recently, it sounds like they are getting pretty bad in terms of shipping out orders on a timely manner. I guess whatever service they've been using lately is also slow af, even for coming from china.
