    My Twincast shipped from BBTS on Friday, but the tracking info has yet to update at all. Is anyone having a similar experience?

    But there isn't any yellow plastic in Twincast to match.

    Who are you using to ship from? I've noticed a delay between BBTS and say, USPS when shipping updates occur (meaning that BBTS lags behind USPS's own tracking)

    They definitely can, all the WFC Bumblebees are fine and Sunstreaker would've been too if only they'd used SS86 Hot Rod's yellow plastic instead of the gross weird buttery color, which happens to match his yellow paint almost perfectly.
    Haha wow, that actually looks so much better. Kinda want him a little more now.

    What's different here? Looks far better- my first reaction was that it was a Titans Return Blitzwing custom!

    Ah- I see the wings are folded up and over. Depends on how high they reach I suppose- I think it might look off from most other angles.

    They used DHL to ship them. I ended up asking for a refund because I never got any updates and they couldn't locate my package. Then I ordered one off Ebay.

    He also has 2 POTP Metalhawks in cannon mode attached to him in the second picture, which gives him a ‘90s comic book feel.

    YES. Nowhere did I say anything about the SIZE of the damn thing. I simply mentioned the CHARACTER. You are the only one who keeps HARPING on about it unnecessarily. And I'm sorry, but you're starting to get on my nerves.

    Might be the "headmaster" version. Though this is a primus blessing, I wished this would have looked more like the Wonderfest kit version years ago. Being a stoopid carbon based lifeform you just can't get no satisfaction:crazy:

    I wonder what's the after-market price nowadays. So tempted. I'm good, am a seasoned model kit builder. So these kinds of garage kits are no issues for me...

    Metalhawk does feel a bit cheap in-hand, really could have used gold paint on the torso. If they can afford silver paint all over SS Sideswipe, soundwave and Mirage, why not some gold here?
