Did you get tracking from Uncle Billy for the Ocean labels? I’ve been wanting to order some for a while now. Which store did you use?

 

I went to Uncle Billy’s website. Funny thing is, when I placed the order, I paid it thru PayPal, but when I tried to look at my order on his site, it didn’t show up (still doesn’t), but I did receive an email with the USPS tracking number.

 

mine has "shipped" as well with a delivery scheduled for Monday, yet FedEx hasn't actually even received it yet from BBTS, just a shipping label being created. I don't expect to see this until late next week, at the least, going off of previous orders from BBTS.

 

So I just applied the stickers originally intended for terminus giganticus (Fanstoys omega supreme) on GABRIEL and this is the result, voila  

 

Looking forward for everyone's reviews once received, mine is waiting in my pile of loot.Waiting on the release of mp-47 and reissue of Road king before shipped.

 

Looks good
How you like it in hand

 

Easily triumphs over all other Omega Supremes on the market. 6 kilograms of pure beefiness   

 

I think if I do decide to get an Omega Supreme it will be this guy as he looks the most cartoon accurate. Just waiting on XTB to finish their Menasor and hopefully someone will have comparison shots with this. I'm 4 and a half (f*#king Overheats shoulders...) figures in on that set and want to see how they look and scale with this before I take the plunge. Plus I have to hope someone in the UK is still selling this by then, because there's no way in hell I'm paying UK level customs charges to import this thing.

 

Maybe I made it up in my head.... Thanks for the info on the fixes.
Don't get me wrong, I love the DX9 Gabriel, and would recommend it to anyone that is interested. I would hop on the BBTS stock before it sells out.

 

It was pretty quick for mine. It is already in route to my local FedEx hub, so it should be in hand mid day tomorrow

 

mine says it is at the hub at St. Paul, so, if FedEx keeps it I should probably see it Monday like it says, if they ship it down to Kansas it probably means they are going to transfer it over to the USPS, which means a week longer at least.

 

Thank you all for taking the time to reply. It was most helpful.  

 

one last thing about gabriel. he is just such a solid well made bot who looks great all the way around from every angle.

some of these things kind of loose it really fast if you arent viewing them from straight on. but this guy looks so good from every angle. he matches well with the titans also.

 

Mine was just delivered about 30 min ago. I know he was going to be big, but not this big...lol

He is glorious! So glad BBTS had this guy and on sale. No weird smells. No dampness, all joints tight. Perfect!

 

that is awesome and it looks great on the shelf.

the box looks the same as the first ones.

btw...check your lights to make sure they both work. i remember one guy had a missle light that had a bad wire.

 

I keep hearing about this wetness/dampness issue

Wasn’t that an isolated incident and I’m assuming due to whether conditions during delivery

 

Everything works. Batteries came installed also.

 

As much as I want to spend the rest of the day getting to know this fellow. I got chores and projects to do. Till later you magnificent bastard...

With G1 Omega, because he is precious......

 

Soooo precious

 

there is no wet dampness issue anymore and there surely isnt a running concern with these releases.

the only damp issues that came up with omega were the fact that a few pallets got wet. but that was tied to the very first release and was mostly the bots from the drop shippers from china.

all the ones that hit the states after the news broke were almost immediately opened and inspected and cleared and shipped out.

the only reason you even see it come up now is because of that one poster. he felt it was in his best interest to troll everyone who ordered the new batch at a great discount.
