I've had that show as a status before and it was because the parcel was damaged in shipment and they are selling it back. I hope that's not the case here, but I wanted to throw it out there.
Sunday - Place of business was closed. - Um... since when is my apartment a business??? Monday - Operational Delay, will redeliver tomorrow. Tuesday - Operational Delay, will redeilver tomorrow. Like seriously, how hard is it to just deliver to my fucking apartment? This is the second time in a month their incompetence emerged. Holy fucking shit. Stop hiring short bus employees!
via @lightningcollector2021 on IG: My two pack should be here in next few days. I’ve kept my MMPR Red Ranger sealed in the box awaiting this new helmet
Yeah, ever since I saw how comically large it was on the female body I felt there was a chance. I was mostly worried about the peg size being a different size. Ahhh yes!!!! Hope I can track down a single red ranger(Trini) figure or helmet somehow. That looks so much better!!
So the good news is they finally figured out how to deliver a package. Bad news is, after all that, the joints are looser than a hooker's bra strap. Oh, and I have to heat the helmts up to fit them on the neck joints. Here are some pictures of the new pinless body though that includes a new neck and the drop down hips (which I already hate due to their looseness).
Oof that sucks about the looseness of the joints. Didn't realize LC had been transitioning to pinless bodies. Wouldn't mind them re-releasing a couple of MMPR with these new bodies.
I just want everyone now in these new bodies, especially Time Force Red since he would look out of place with the rest of the team having updated bodies. Oh, and the ranger guns are a tad bigger and now have a hole in them for a blast effect of some sort. Not sure which one since nothing I currently have for PR, Marvel, or GI Joe seems to fit properly.
Not really the case, but was wondering if Blue Centurian is packed like that in a Deluxe box, Then other Monsters who are average sized to the Rangers like Madame Woe or Knasty Knight could be possible.
I’m interested in these but they seem off. The suits are kind of drab. Like they were based on the ones from the very early American footage. Almost makes me afraid that when they get to Tommy he’ll end up with the flimsy version of the shield. At least they seem to include all the necessary accessories.
No glasses for Billy, though. I'll keep an eye on eBay when these ship to see if somebody sells the heads or casts of them to put on my LC. The sculpts are a lot nicer than LC, IMHO.
Mezco rangers look thick, as if going for the look between BoA Legacy Collection and Hasbro Lightning Collection but with cloth costumes and less accurate likeness for the unmasked sculpts compared to Hasbro. Maybe the costume material might be thicker. I like how the set comes will all the accessories you’d want.
Heads up. The next wave of Lightning Collection preorders and deluxes are starting to process some places.
Oh my god, this is getting fucking ridiculous. I just got notified that the Amazon Spider-Man set AND Snizzard are shipping on the 15th. What's the point of even preordering anymore with months in advance to save up???
That’s not the point of preordering? It is supposed to be so that you get it as soon as possible. All release dates are estimated so they could release earlier or later than that date. If you need months to save up for a figure don’t preorder them, just save up for them and buy them after they are released. It’s not like their prices are hidden so you know how much you have to save up to get them.
There's a difference between releasing a couple weeks early to release months in advanced. I've had 15 figures in the last month all come in stock and I was not budgetted for it since some of those weren't supposed to ship until May and June. Snizzard say April while the Spider-Man 5 pack said January.
