    Damn, well it took Prime like 2 weeks to get to my mate who is in the US, I think it took Megatron around 2 weeks to get to me and I'm in the UK and we both bought from ShowZ.

    Prime is on TFDirect and TFSafari and Megatron I think Megs is on Pre order on TFSafari and ShowZ, he might be on TFDirect too. You've got some options

    I ordered Prime and Megatron from TF-Direct for around $100 for both. But beware, the next day TF-Direct will send you an invoice for another $10 for shipping due to COVID.

    APC Dark Master actually looks very striking with the freebie insignia stickers

    Awesome! I didn't pay the extra $10 shipping fee that TF-Direct requested to speed up shipping, and they went ahead and shipped them anyway!

    So I guess don't let them try to scam you into paying more money after the sale.

    Does anyone have any comparison photos with TLK Leader Megatron and/or Earthrise Megatron?

    Whoa. I haven’t looked at that prototype picture in a long time. That sucks! That scale was damn near perfect.

    I’m really getting tired of this idea of giant Megatron who dwarfs Optimus is awesome. IMO it makes the Decepticons look even weaker and dumber than they already do. Like “really Megatron? You keep getting your ass kicked by the little autobot leader? Every episode? Optimus should’ve been dead after like 2 or 3 fights.”

    Did Megatron really lose any fights between him and Prime? Optimus got floored during the spacebridge fight and then Megs left to greet his new army. The fight by the volcano Prime was beaten after a strong start. Finale of the Orion Pax arc, Optimus lept through the groundbridge before they started a real fight. We all know what happened with the Star Saber, Smokescreen came outta nowhere and saved Prime. The only fights Prime actually won was the one at the Omega Lock where he did something unexpected by slicing of Meg's arm and then when he had his upgrade in Beast Hunters

    Is this the right thread for this-- I received my APC Megs finally, and he is drop dead gorgeous. The only problem is that the figure has a glaring factory or assembly- damage "open book" fracture of the pelvis as well as a quarter centimeter seam split on the same side. Already in contact with ShowZ and they are cooperating to find a solution.

    Has anyone else had this flaw?

    I'm gonna guess that you've already tried pushing/screwing it back together?

    Yep. The screws are already as tight as they can go, and I was afraid to push them further, but may get brave enough to try if ShowZ takes too much longer. :(

    Got these guys in today and I LOVE them! I was very surprised with Optimus Prime. It's just a really great figure. And Megatron looks awesome as well.

    Pics are after transformation. My entire collection is in alt mode right now, but will soon be switched to bot mode.

    I’m really, really happy with this Megatron. So much so that I wish I could buy more TFP guys from this company right away, but since I have the Takara FE Optimus already, there seems little point in that.

    Wise decision, ok listen to me
    you need to disassemble the entire piece because the plastic is being pushed too hard and it could be deformed
    not try to "accommodate" the pieces, after that, assemble everything
    post more pics if u can, I had that problem with many other figures and that's always the solution because the entire torso is misassembled

    Repaint of this mold is nice. I have the FE version too but still I gotten the other 3 from APC. I also do hope that they will continue with the rest of thr character beyond FE
