    Since social media rarely amplifies "good comments":

    I recieved Victory Saber on Saturday. No Quality issues whatsoever. Paint is good, all parts secure and complete, proper assembly, all accessories included, no issues transforming into any mode.

    Only concern is the density of the plastic used.

    His engineering is VERY advanced in a couple of places (Saber's legs, for example). Use gentle force and brace possible stress/breakage points when. Transforming for the first time (same as with 3rd Party and Masterpiece).

    I could see someone absentmindedly using too much force and breaking this figure in a couple of places. Much like various G1 problem children.

    Man... This HasLab cost 20$ more versus Victory Saber... I was wondering why and apparently it didn't get free shipping, oh and they taxed the shipping too.

    Also states "standard" versus FedEx SmartPost (which was nice given it required a signature confirmation).

    Speaking of FedEx, did anyone actually physically sign for their Victory Saber? My tracking (which I received today from Hasbro Pulse, despite it being delivered last Friday), showed that it was signed but I wasn't at home. Do FedEx drivers just sign for stuff if no one is home and leave it at the door? Did this happen to anyone else?

    I was denied delivery yesterday because I wasn't around to sign. I've left my signature on the card they left, so I expect to have my toy waiting when I get home today.

    (If I find they need someone in-person, I'm going to be VERY angry. This is exactly why I NEVER use FedEx when given a choice)

    I didn’t sign for either Unicron or Starsaber, both were left at my door/lobby. Could be a FedEx Canada vs FedEx USA thing though

    With me it was a weird mix. I was on a call when VS arrived so I get to the door as the guy was starting to walk back to the truck. He was very appreciative that I was there so he “didn’t have to send it back.” Then he asked my name, typed it into his pad, and turned and left. I was expecting to have to do the finger signing thing but apparently not.

    So ordering 2 was literally the price of 1 x 2. Zero discount on shipping.

    Yep. I put a note on the door that I was home, so that may have swayed the results.

    Technically, they taxed the shipping on Victory Saber as well by giving you "free shipping" when it's just rolled into the cost of the figure.

    BTW, taxing shipping is illegal.

    Well, with the current numbers, matching the total backers count of Victory Saber doesn't seem an unreachable dream, although I'm not aware if there are still retailers other than Pulse with the preorder window still open.

    I had a RING doorbell so got lucky and was able to talk to the delivery-woman. Told her I wasn't far and that if it wouldn't get her in trouble I was okay with her leaving it because I was on my way home.

    YMMV both if a driver will do that or if you feel comfortable doing it. I get being annoyed by it but at the same time this is a made-to-order premium product so Hasbro doesn't want to screw around. It protects you if FedEx botches delivery and protects them from potential fraud.

    We’re now at the part of the campaign where I worry that I didn’t order it right and won’t get it despite ordering on day 1 and double checking like 50 times since then lol.

    Where do you live because those are a lot of stipulations that severely limits where you can buy it from.
