    So the board member I made a deal with contacted me.

    Apparently the post office where MP-44 is located is not accesable and asked if I was still interested.

    I said yes and to stay in touch.

    Between this and my friend having a mild case of covid-19 I'm in a pretty melancholy mood.

    Speaking of my friend I have not heard from him since Saturday.

    I just hope he is okay.

    Apologies for going off topic.

    Need a 2nd Prime, what the price tag on this guy currently? I'm guessing Amazon Japan is still the cheapest?

    I hope your friend is okay.

    The world needs the power of the Matrix now, for so many reasons.

    Anyway, whenever you do get your MP-44, I hope you enjoy it as much as I have mine. It's a fantastic rendition of Optimus Prime.

    Wow that hits home for me as I am 43 now and obviously heart disease runs in the family. Glad that things worked out well for you! My dad turns 67 next month...guess he is lucky that he hasn’t had to deal with this until now.

    Incidentally, they let him home from the hospital yesterday! One week from heart attack to being back in his own bed. Pretty impressed with modern medical science!!

    As far as I'm concerned the fix is still working right now. I play-tested quite heavily with the ratchet joint in the past and safe to say it ain't going anytime soon.

    Thanks everyone for the support.

    I greatly appreciate it.

    Update -

    The seller contacted me he or she may be able to ship MP-44 sometime in June.

    Also I managed to talk with my friend he still a little under the weather but is safe.

    Mine is still holding fine and I am sure once the glue has cured, it can't break anymore!
