    I would recommend opening it and checking to make sure it is complete and transform it once each way. People are finding missing pieces (mainly the head and the long clear piece for the stand). Hasbro has said that replacement parts are scarce. And more and more people are also having shoulder joint issues. Once you are sure there are not issues pack it back up and let it go till you move. Just do not want you to find an issue and have no path to resolution.

    We can make a tentative play date for the end of May or sometime in June.

    I decided to take your advice, better safe than sorry. Mine is perfect but it is good piece of mind now.

    I got my first dose of Pfizer yesterday (my arm is sore today, but nothing a little Ibuprofen can't solve). Outdoor meetup sounds good. My HOA has a gazebo and grills in woodbridge as another location we could use this spring/summer too.

    Got my unicron from hasbro earlier this week and got it in planet mode. For the time being, it owns the dining room table.

    Sorry to hear it man. Priorities shifting? Lost the love? Or did an emergency befall you?

    I have everything that I want from the list above, but thanks for thinking of us.

    Let's think about a Noon or a 6 PM meetup saturday depending on group availability. For something kind of central, how about George's Steak and Things in Burke (Georges Steak n' Things). If people want to go to Woodbridge, if you remember the Sweeto Burrito that we went to pre-covid, it's now been converted to Hot Chickn Kitchn and is very good.

    I can’t do lunch Saturday but maybe dinner I can but even Burke is a little far for me and I’d be out if Woodbridge is the location.
