My seller packed mine by cutting up and folding down the original carton box (meant for 2 units) but still...

 

I do that all the time. Shipping is ridiculous on these larger pieces

 

Received Gabriel today

 

From where? And what is the red robot?

 

From a local Malaysian seller. Red robot is Neo Zeong from Gundam Unicorn

 

1/144HG version i presume?

 

Yup

 

Fellow Malaysian here lol.

With Hasbro Scorponok and Jujiang Superion. Jinbao combiners and WJ Predaking in the far side. Studio Series Starscream between the legs.

 

I just realized he was due in September and it's October 1! I should check with BBTS to make sure he leaves my pile of loot and starts shipping.

Rats, now it says October... 

 

Man, that Hasbro Scorponok is really, really nice.

 

Hello, does anyone know when the preorder will release on BBTS?

 

Add this to the list of the people who asked....

 

Your pics look like Superion is trying to break up a fight between Scorponok and Omega Supreme

 

Soon, it'll say "November."  

 

Don't forget BBTS's mythical Ordin reissue.

 

Stop joking, they will hear you. I've got Ditka and Gabriel both pre-ordered from BBTS plus a couple other sale items in the pile of loot (bad paint Windcharger, etc). I check once a week hoping that somehow at least one of my first BBTS pre-orders will finally come in.  

 

I have things in my PoL, too. The 90-day period will probably expire by the time Gabriel shows up. I can go to my local Gamestop and pick up the things in my PoL AND for cheaper, but I don't want to be put on their $#!t list.

 

Just gotten mine. He is MASSIVE.

However, like many others, mine comes with a very stiff shoulder ratchet. I cant even lift up the upper arm to connect the lower arm out of the box.
Saw some post above putting a drop of lubricant oil into the gaps in the upper arm to loosen it up. Just wanted to ask if WD40 will do the job as well ..

Thanks in advance !

 

I've heard both sides of wd40. It's a water expellant not a lubricant, so it isn't strictly the going to lubricate the joint. Silicone shock oil is plastic safe and works, though.

Wd40 might do the job, it might not. Not sure how the plastic reacts either.

 

Did you get it from BBTS?
