    Before entering anything, was the field for points displaying your available points? I just did the same as @4249david and applied points first, coupon after with 4 items and it took it.

    He is looking fantastic. I hope the Dx9 weapons can peg into his hands well. Since those are more detailed than the ones shown. The ones shown are a little plain, but I get it toon accuracy and all.

    Impressive articulation. Definitely looks like he's going to be pretty back heavy, though. I loved the Starscream mold. I hope this is up to that mold's quality.

    Yeah. I tried a few times and after adding points my basket said it was empty. I've got fanshobbys double agent on pre order so I'll use them for that.

    BBB says they’re doing sea freight shipping so it’ll take forever. ShowZ is charging the same price and doing regular plane shipping as far as I know

    So I used the sea freight option on a regular sized figure once before and they shipped it in the same time frame as usual, took just over 2 weeks. I then had a multipiece order with some xtb figures with yolopark Shockwave and it took 3 and a half weeks.

    I was originally nervous of the sea freight option having flashbacks of when showz was using SAL shipping, often taking 3 months with things getting sent back, wet, and/or damaged, but so far it hasn't been the case with bombusbee. I also grouped this purchase with some MMC figures and it made the shipping about $10 for Star Toy Blitzwing so the savings is worth it. Now I just have to wait to see how they actually ship it.

    Yeah, never had any concerns with BBB. Ordering 5 other bots with this Blitzwing and not expecting it too take more than a few days longer than usual.

    I didn't think I wanted a Blitzwing.

    Now I'm not so sure.

    Yeah, to quote @OCDChad , “rest in development hell, Berserk”

    This is absolutely fantastic. Now please do more MP figures.

    Wow, this thing looks amazing. They've got the Sunbow aesthetic nailed to a 'T'. Look at all those smooth surfaces. If the quality is there, this figure will be glorious.

    Computron next, please.
