    No biggie. The Masterpiece shelves are about to go through a major rearrange anyway. I only shipped because I was literally on the last day for one of the items. Something always drops a day or two after though, it’s uncanny.

    I was surprised to check my email and see one from TFSource saying that they processed my PayPal payment. I had no idea what for... apparently I preordered this guy. I must have been more excited at some point than I actually feel right now...

    You need to keep a list. :p 

    Screenshot_20230315-100514_Office.png

    I use a spreadsheet to keep track the figures I own and used to own. I was thinking of including all possible iterations (*), but not enough to put in the effort and it'll clutter the spreadsheet.

    (*) Or those that I'm interested in or have rejected.

    I started this spreadsheet quite recently, after I sold some stuff, cos I can't remember if I still have them!

    I actually do have a list of my preorders in Google Docs, but Parkour wasn't on it. Nothing from TFSource was, as I've switched to TCP for most of my domestic 3P sales, and even there I don't have a ton of preordered stuff. I've gotten into a habit of waiting for reviews, but I guess at some point I must have really liked Parkour's cartoon-accurate chibi alt mode, had FOMO, and TCP was already sold out.

    Now the question is, do I pay for shipping, or do I find $40 more worth of stuff I want?

    Dammit, I had one, but my laptop crashed and I lost it. I even had a percentage completion and everything. I need to make another one.

    Apologies if this has been mentioned/answered but I’m behind catching up on the site and threads.

    Have any of you with POs with Bombusbee received the invoice to settle up the balance yet?

    I originally POd the figure in the summer of 2021 and the deposit back then was $15. I don’t think BBB has even confirmed the total price for the figure. Given that other sellers have shipped, I definitely haven’t overlooked any emails from BBB so I’m trying to determine if they are just behind on this release.

    Thanks in advance.
    Steve

    No.
    Asian retailers are generally 2-4 weeks behind US retailers on FT releases.

    TFSource still has some available. I got antsy and called them because mine didn't ship yet. Right before they called me back, presto, I had a tracking number...lol. Should have him by the end of the week.

    Can someone show the back underside of the Alt Mode?
    I am wondering if there is a way that a custom clip-on gun could be attached?
    Just in case anyone wanted to "Try this, it's a gas!"

    I didn't find the transformation that bad. Haven't gone back to bot so we'll see how that goes. I wish I wasn't such a chicken for putting on autobot decals. Parkour is perfectly set up to have autobot on the roof in bot mode and the left side of the hood and not show in the opposite mode.

    Yep. I’ve just settled the balance despite not having the email from BBB.

    Just put the ordinal PO order reference in the balance payment notes part of the screen so BBB can match up. Sent an email as well in case they get confused.

    I used points and coupons that got the price even cheaper.

    I think the sterling/dollar currency rate also has ticked up which helped a little.

    Definitely worth the wait and in this purchase preferable with BBB over Omegalock.

    So what’s the consensus on Parkour? Worth it? Crappy transformation? Prone to break? Good quality?
