    Yep, already have mine from TF Source. Others have gotten theirs from TCP and ToyDojo already. Think the only one left is BBTS like usual.

    I’m still waiting for mine to ship from TFsource as well. A few other members said they have already received theirs from TFsource. Maybe soon?

    messaged ShowZ on when they would be shipping and said they had someone else doing the shipping and "guessed" they would ship over the weekend or next week. which is different than what they said on FB earlier. starting to get more than a little annoyed with the lack of give a fuck going on with them.

    See that makes me slightly nervous. I don't want to find out they opened up a preorder for some later hypothetical additional run. (BBTS has pulled stuff like that a few times)

    Hopefully soon. I figured based off this thread, this week was likely. Probably everything is fine, though.
    Thanks.

    I was wondering the same thing. Maybe I’ll check in with them tomorrow and see what they say.

    If you hear anything scary, please let me know. Now would be the time to be searching ebay and what not rather than later when they'll only be harder to find and even more expensive. Thanks.

    That's odd, I got a shipping notification from them yesterday. What's not shown is that I paid the extra $6 for faster shipping. Not dealing with the slow boat shit again.

    YouTube (Handle):
    Collected mine from the post office this morning (along with TE-03 Mirage) and first impressions are really good. Will write more later when I've had a chance to mess around with him properly. So far the only negative is the waist rotation, which was really tight on mine. I eventually got it moving and it was then I discovered that it was tight because the right hip pin wasn't pushed all the way in, so in freeing it up it stripped a semicircle of paint from the underside of the torso. Not the worst or most obvious place, but annoying that it was caused by a QC issue (thanks QC 34).

    Received my showz shipping notice this morning as well. I'll probably see Braun between Sept 15-30th, I'll get him in hand probably around the time Astrotrain is released.

    Not comforting. I’ve emailed TFsource. Really wondering now if they oversold.

    May really make a point of not preordering with them again. We’ll see.

    Mine is shipping from China, and expected like 10th of August... I think China best sellers seem to take longer than the rest of the world. Oh well, i need cheaper...

    Excited for both Hunk and Dunerider. But at same time, a bit worried that articulation might bother me for Hunk, i guess single jointed arms mostly. Happy Dunerider will have some ab crunch at least.

    Before taking pics of my FT Grenadier yesterday (which i sold on ebay for $$$), i observed he had double jointed arms, and i believe so did the other two. I do wish that FT would make articulation a bit more priority again, though the sculpt and alt mode are crucial too which they have strongest offering, and i understand the figures are smaller so more challenging.

    Man, I should probably sell off my remaining FT Insecticons just to get the $$$, but I like both Grenadier and Mercenary too much. Unlike their Kickback ..........
