    does anyone else have an issue with theres where the tab that pushes the cassete forward to the chest wont budge going all the way up? And only one of the sides is moving whenever i try to push it up.

    It seems that it is a common issue.

    Not sure, I could change the PayPal address, but I am afraid it would lend to a lot of trouble due to how PayPal work with different countries and credit cards (and also the problem that I would still need to use my name, even if sending to someone abroad).

    But I've just search a little, and it does seem I can add addresses, I will check that option, thanks a lot for the tip.

    The first time it was really hard for me. Had to get there and help the mechanism. After a few goes it seemed to wrk itself out a bit. I doubt it’ll affect anything as people are unlikely to store 2 tapes and a little shake will probably do just as well!

    I think it's great that they fit either way since the pivot to his shoulder is offset it can change the position of where they sit and can help with different poses. I don't think that's a part where one way is right and the other is wrong because of how they fit.

    Lift the backpack and it will expose the hole through to his chest and the top edge of the ejector plate is easy to push on while pulling on the little lever. After it moves once or twice it shouldn't stick anymore.

    Finally paid up at baba (had to inquire about my order, and then they replied "it is here now, pay and we will ship it" so if you're still waiting for them to message YOU about a PO, maybe try giving them a nudge.

    Hasn't shipped yet, but hopefully soon, and will have it in time for Christmas tree!

    I reckon we'll see just what you want from Takara at some point. When is the big question.

    Guys I need some help here. My Acoustic wave and another paxkage were stolen today off my front porch. I'm so livid and my brain isn't working. What do I do? I bought my AW from from Bombusbee and my other package was from eBay.

    I just don't know what to do...

    If you didn't give permission to leave them, it's usually on the carrier. But strictly speaking it's also a crime.

    There's different laws in different countries (and in different states in the US) so it's probably best to mention your location in case anyone is familiar with the exact laws.

    Also worth checking the website of the delivery company you were expecting to deliver the item.

    They got delivered through the mail along with everything I usually buy but on my address I always have down to deliver it to the side door, not the front door. Which they always do anyway. They delievered extra early today and some scumfuck must;'ve snatched them all.

    I cant get the freaking head to go up to go back in robot mode. It literally wont budge at all.. ive seen people being able to do it with so much ease in reviews


    Update: so apparently you have to have the cassette out. Since i cant use the function that puts the cassete closer to the chest. The only way it goes in is all the way back. Just a heads up to anyone that may have the same issue. Thank freaking god fanstoys used a very strong plastic on this guy

    Well at the very least they didn't follow your instructions, and that's their responsibility. However, if the claim is against them, it might only cover the declared value. It's possible Bombusbee underdeclared. But then that's on them...

    Either way, it's possible you need to have reported it officially.

    This sucks, but hopefully you can find the right solution.

    By chance did you take a quick look around the neighborhood to see if they were delivered to the wrong address? That's happened to me before, found my shipment on a doorstep a few houses down the street. You run the risk of being mistaken for a package thief yourself by inspecting packages, but hey, we're talking about AW here.

    I just looked around and they're nowhere. We're very close to the street and don't live in the best neighborhood and it's a lock that some thieving pile of shit stole it. I just contacted the USPS but i'm almost certain I won't be able to recoup any of what's been lost.

    Usps has gps in their scanners so they can tell where the delivery person was when they marked your package delivered. Usps has been able to recover a mis-delivered package for me before using this. They were very helpful over the phone when I called about my missing boxes.

    Hmmm, engineering wise, it seems that he is inferior to MP-13...

    Sorry to hear that, I think is better if from now on, you only get your packages directly from UPS offices.
