    Well, I'm not a Victory or Star Saber fan, but I must say it's areally nice toy. I think it feels more like a toy than a collectable figure you only display. I guess that's because of the bare plastic, which I don't mind.

    The transformation is simple enough, but is exactly the way it is in the cartoon. Kudos to Takara for giving us a wonderful representation of Star Saber even if it has minor issues.

    Mine made it to the local PO, but after my mail already ran. I don't remember if "Priority Mail Express International" gets a special delivery or if it'll be tomorrow now.

    Just got order confirmation/invoice from TFsource!

    Can't wait to get this awesome figure open, and fix that sword!

    Mine just showed up at my desk. :lol  I guess once it arrived at Chicago everyone who handled it after that just didn't bother to scan it. Anyway, Star Saber! Time to leave work early now. :D

    Well, that's good news! Keeping my fingers crossed that mine is actually on its way here, then.

    I'll cross my fingers for you too! Seems odd it would miss that many scans (outgoing customs, arrivial at local PO, arrival at my mail-room). Or maybe the tracking software is just temporarily jacked up.

    Going on two days now and AE still hasn't shipped Star Saber, let alone the others I've purchased.

    Is this a normal thing for other buyers?

    I paid Friday night EST and it shipped Sunday night EST, Monday morning JP time. If you paid on Saturday I think you should've gotten a shipping notice by now, unless they had SO many orders for this guy that they can't pack them fast enough.

    That's awesome! Mine has been in customs in Los Angeles since 3/21. No updates on the usps website. Here's to hoping the system is jacked up and it arrives today!

    I don't know what to think. Can't really open a PayPal dispute. I wonder if they can't fulfil my order and are awaiting stock...or maybe they did ship, but didn't update account.

    Mine was shipped out today so it definitely seems like they are packing every day and just can't get all orders out fast enough, probably not enough staff.

    I'm happy for all the people so jacked about this figure, but personally, I just... don't get it.

    All the same, cool of Takara to do this for the fans.

    Lol, my M P-24 order is on the way from HLJ, and I just got notice from BBTS that my other order is sitting in my pile off loot. Somehow I forgot I even placed the preorder with them. Just sent them an email requesting a cancellation so hopefully everything works out. How understanding are BBTS with order cancellations anyways?
