    haha, I know how to fix it, I do not care about the leaks that much. Just found it looks interesting in pitch dark. :D

    I do believe he's taller, but @Lockon Prime should be able to confirm.

    Quick question, do any of you guys ever worry about the possibility of lead paints being in your 3P figures? What do you think is the likelihood of that being the case in this day and age?

    Got mine last night and he does look amazing, especially with MT-01 Megatank. I didn't have much time to fiddle with him, and did put a quick coat of floor polish on the back section people have had paint chipping. I will do a more thorough inspection, but didn't see any QC issues. I am looking forward to the transformation just because that is what I really enjoy out of my figures. But it seems like years of waiting for a good BBM prime finally paid off.

    I wouldn't be too concerned? China has stricter policies in regards to the amount of lead allowed to paints compared to America (at least according to the print), so I would assume it is safe to handle.

    Yep, and I absolutely worry about it. That’s why I hate and sell off fully painted figures that chip or run off. Just Not worth it to me.

    @williammmw I remember you saying something about having a conversation with an MM rep. Do you think it would be possible to ask about what kind of paints they use?

    Finally got mine last night!! This figure exceeds all expectations. Price tag is hefty, but worth it in my opinion. It feels very sturdy, more so than any other figure in my collection. Overall, love the final product. Looking forward to the accessories pack.

    Yea, the Nemesis version went up abt a week ago, or so, but I have zero interest in it though. Shatter Glass is where my money's gonna be at.
    I don't know, since I don't don't own OSKO Challenger, but I believe that OSKO Challenger is abt as tall as BA Prime, so he'd be shorter than MM-01.

    So when it says the pre-order will be available in June does that mean they will reopen it in June or is it still possible to pre-order now ahead of time

    No, they're saying it should be released in June. So you can preorder it now, to have it shipped in June.

    Thqt is correct, your copy will ship in June.. unless they run out of copies, after all those that paid in full get theirs shipped. So my advice isn to pay yours in full when you preorder.
    I heard through the grapevine that there will br another batch of BMB Ironhides. But it'll be a few months bfr it's released.

    One of the employees from showz said they contacted bmb and they were informed bmb has no plans to reissue bmb Ironhide also is it likely the June preorders will already be sold out considering how fast the first pre-order sold out

    I just talked to an MM rep and they apparently do not use lead or other heavy metal paints. They can keep having my business as long as that’s true.

    Thats odd, cuz the person that told me abt another batch is pretty trust worthy.
    Well ShowZ still has the preorder open, so if you pay it in full, you may be able to get it in June/ July.

    is it possible to see a picture of the BA prime with the legs "extended" from the hips next to the MM prime? Or is it already extended?
