    There's more room for the shoulder wheels to move around than the leg wheels

    Too beautiful to risk transforming (Maybe just once to make Menasor, maybe)

    It's getting worse and it seems there's nothing I can do about it despite all my caution. It occurs when the shoulders are already sitting behind the chest. Bummer, I'm disappointed !!

    It's when I transform it to alt mode, it's ruining my shoulders unfortunately.

    Did you try the trick where you leave it in bot-mode on a shelf and tell people how beautiful fanstoys robots are?
    After buying into the hype I am less than impressed with this company.
    If I buy transformers, I want to transform them because I'm a big kid and want to do what I wanted to do as a kid but with more badass toys.

    I got into a few of the takara Datsun brothers. Not as articulated, no die - cast, no waist bending, tons of fun to play with with my kids.

    Just for the record, my FT Magnum does look great on the shelf.





    Unfortunately the shelf is in the bbts wherehouse.

    Just my :2c: 's about the BBTS dilemma and I'm sure it does suck to wait for them to ship out your purchase but @ the same time I'd rather pay THEIR PRICE AND WAIT than pay the secondary B's prices. Just remember folks, You're guaranteed a Magnum;)  and who knows? Maybe it'll be a better batch than what some of us have gone thru.

    @dalianjj, just wondering if when you supply color pics of finished Bandit if you'll also supply pics of the second trailer exoframe and kibble too?

    and maybe some mid-transformation photos so we can figure how the heck it all comes together as an exo-frame and as a trailer too?

    Just speaking for myself; I'm really just having a little fun with it, but I'm pretty much overall am happy with them and yeah by now one should know getting yours last of NA retailers while others are posting their pics is just the way it's going to be with them. I definitely wouldn't mess with any place I have to prepay/can't cancel POs.

    I do have to say these last two FT releases have been especially longer waits compare to the past, usually not more than two weeks after other na retailers. Also it does get on my nerve that as of this posting this, late Wednesday night, if I ship my loot right now it probably won't be in the delivery service's hands til Monday, based on my past experiences.

    I usually just figure on two weeks after everyone else just to not be sweating it, but that would've been the 4th of July.

    Occasionally they still have something in stock that no one else does. Or, recently, they got Earthrise Scorponok in stock and everyone else is still saying October or November. Although, after five days off waiting on them to actually ship it, I'm starting to think I'm starting to wonder if I'll actually get it before then anyway...

    BBTS is often late, but they are reliable, the customer service is great, and I am confident that their toys will show up well packaged. I use them for everything that isn't TF. TF I need to have in my hands quick; so I spread my more around to another N American shops. Just drives me crazy seeing everyone else get their Transformers here first.

    Which, BTW, checked my Preorders on BBTS and my Thundercats Series 1 should arrive this month. When they show up in September, I will be pleased as punch. :)

    If you like to transform a lot, even the FT hype should have told you they're not for you. Even the biggest FT fanboys won't tell you they're good for transforming back and forth.
