I have pre-orders in with both BBTS and ShowZ. Not sure who to stay with and who to cancel. I expect to get the ShowZ one first, because they are pretty fast shipping to be on the East Coast of the US. I could keep both and have them in different modes. Or keep one to sell on ebay to make a small profit. I have a few days to decide

 

When is it supposed to be out?

 

I’m tempted, but I also remember that a large amount of these things were literally coming with Mold and water damage…so that makes me a bit hesitant.

 

I believe that was first run. Every release after that has been fine. I have the previous release ordered thru BBTS and mine had no issues whatsoever.

 

I'm in the midst of shifting my collection to get all of my MP bots displayed, but once that happens, he'll be on the front line to face off against Devastator. He's still in the box along with Haslab Unicron.

Seeing the price this guy currently fetches, I'm fortunate to have picked him up for $180 at BBTS back in 2020.

 

Ah the good ol' days.

Wish I had been more on board back then with this. I had another expensive hobby eating up all my cash back then.

Haslab seriously needs to consider doing another run of him. I know I'd be in on it.

 

Could have sworn I saw water damage on the last re-issue. Still if there isn't that problem I'd certainly be a lot more tempted to get this big guy.

 

I saw the $250 price tag and noped out. I'm in Canada so I'd have to pay for shipping too. Fingers crossed that one of the Legends scale Omegas is decent.

 

It bareley fits in a Detolf with modified shelves. I'm going to convert to a full size Curio because having it pose like that doesn't do the figure any justice.

 

I'm in the same boat as you. Went with ShowZ because I had points to use and accrued 3x points with this purchase. I love ShowZ and their after sales service too. Good point though regarding getting a total replacement.

 

That price point made me jump for joy. The hasbro one is going for $400 right now, and even at $200 I don't think the quality is worth it. The Fanstoys one is nice, but goes for $750 or more now. (Unless you get real lucky and find one for $500) So getting a good MP scale one for $250 isn't half bad. I like the look of the DX9 one more than the others as well.

 

Here’s mine, still a work in progress.

 

Not sure if I would have gotten a better deal waiting for BBTS, but not missing out on this big boi again.

 

I couldn't even sell it at $140

Edit: That was 2 years ago

 

....and here I am in the corner still praying that they release a Guardian repaint....

 

Amazing what a difference with the PO. I got it for 190 Euro's.

 

Depending on condition and shipping cost, I'll buy yours for $140.

 

BBTS comes out to $241 and some change after tax for me. Peace of mind is probably worth another $9.

 

BBTS could also be another 5 monthsto get theirs. Course I still don't expect Z to deliver until at least after CNY, but he's paid and ready.

 

anyone know how much this weighs in box?
