I recently stopped using the chosen prime as my vendor of choice due to some extremely poor customer service and looked around at other American retailers for a while until i finally decided to switch over to showz because of this insane price difference. Are people actually paying that much?

 

That’s shocking to hear. TCP is literally the best Customer Service in the business, with the best perks like - no tax, free shipping over $150, Prime Points, and Roller Stash.

 

I had the same experience with chosen prime, switched to show z and never looked back.

 

Basically, they messed up an address with a shipment from my brother as a gift for my birthday. He contacted them after a couple of weeks and got no reply. He contacted them again after a month, no reply. I contacted them through the forums, told them the situation and got told it wasn't their fault and that they hadn't noticed that it had gotten returned to sender because the "label was probably damaged". Then they sent it out using the same label that was supposedly damaged. It got returned to sender again. Then I contacted them again and got the situation finally resolved by telling them to use a different address ( the other one works everywhere else...), but the whole situation left a bad taste in my mouth. It took more than a month for me to get a package that was supposed to be a birthday surprise for me, and it took my own intervention (publicly, I might add...they ignored emails and site forms) to get it resolved. On top of that, they started marking stuff up Ala tfsource...then the whole west went to inflated prices. Now I'm using showz to get figures for half their western price and I'm not looking back. Got jetfire and more here from showz quickly, no bs, great cs when I've had issues, and well packed. Get a jetfire for $80 from showz, people, one of my figures of the year, and showz is my shipping company of the year.

 

T - 5h33m ‘til airing~

 

I really like the ex version... it is just sooo tempting.

 

Yep very tempting.. Dang..

 

Hopefully that video is a sign the ex and the SG are releasing soon. I already fully payed for my EX at BBB.

 

Some screencaps:

I was bored and remembered that scene from cyberpunk, I still find funny the huge size difference of these characters xd

 

And here i thought you were reenacting the scene from Titanic

 

Friend version of Jetfire has been officially announced by Newage on their Weibo:

Sina Visitor System

All diecast parts have been replaced with nylon.

Costs 388 RMB (~54 USD) but if Newage also states that if you had bought G2/EU Devastator, you can buy H45F at a discount (288 RMB/ ~ 40 USD). Not sure if this will apply to international retailers like Bombusbee, ShowZ, etc.

 

I really hope the EX toy version is releasing next...

 

Looks like the transparent version has leaked:

well, there must be a high demand for these clear figures for NA to keep doing them...

anyways, hoping EX version is next, my money is ready and reserved only for it now, until i am aloud to have more money for them NA / MS / IF crack goodies.

 

guys, I'm so sorry for stupid question:
I've missed this thread for a lot of time and I just want to ask somebody to explain in two words what ver is/will be most show accurate?

 

First version

 

I've always thought they look kinda cool but I've never really wanted to buy any of them. A clear Starscream or Alpha Trion would make sense (since Optimus saw him in the matrix that one time so he's kind of like a ghost) but any others would just be a neat standalone for me. So far, though, there hasn't been any that I thought were cool enough that I wanted them.
