    Argh. My PoL has been sitting in the warehouse for 2 days. C'mon and ship already! This is my only complaint about BBTS though. Sometimes things sit in the warehouse for a little longer than you would think they would. Oh well. I'll get it next week anyway.

    Earlier this week, I only had Hothead in my PoL@BBTS and decided to wait.

    The $5 sale later, and Roboto's arrival, and it's Ship-My-PoL time! :rock

    3 days later and my PoL finally ships. A small TF supply will be here next week. A Breacher for my Sea Spray, a Dark Skyfire, and this much needed upgrade set. It will be a glorious day indeed. :)

    Got mine thanks to Kapow. Didn't expect it until the rest of my Pre-orders came in, so very happy.

    Now I just need a Hardhead. Can anyone help me out?

    Yeah hopefully Robot Kingdom can help me.

    Everybody, be careful when you attach and remove the Duro-5 head from Hardhead. The directions on the back of the packaging to "push down" on Hardhead's neck joint forces the socket on Duro-5 to spread, weakening whatever they used to hold the two halves of the head together. Gluing the halves back doesn't seem to be an option, or I'm using the wrong type of glue.

    I thought the head was SUPPOSED to come apart, or at least was given the ability?

    I wouldn't know, as I popped in the adapter for my G1 once and left it there.

    Well, if it had that feature then it wouldn't work on mine. My one came apart and can't be put back together again. Is there a peg in there? Because it seems like something broke, judging by the white plastic flash.

    From the video review thread. It goes back together by tab and slot.

    The tab on mine broke then :(  I think it got stuck inside the torso halves hole, because I can't even see the edges of the hole - just looks like solid plastic.

    Just arrived this beauty ^__^

    The quality of plastic is not so excellent (the headmaster feels quite light) but the final result is really impressive !!! I'm feeling very good about this so much waited kit ^__^

    I initially bought this for my Headless G1 hardhead... but now I really want to put it on my universe HH... Oh, the choices one must make to provide happiness to ones toys.. So I'm kinda torn on whether I shoud put G1 HH back into storage and turn Universe HH into the headmaster he deserves to be or leave as is, right now with the head on G1 and the weapons w Universe.. Buying another set is not an option for me right now. Other than my dilema, I really like the little guy, this is a neat little set. My first 3rd party anything and am so far satisfied.

    As cool as this kit is and as good as it looks I kinda wish they went with more of an IDW-ish design to match the Generations line.
