    Debating ordering 2 from Threezero or 2 from TFSource. The latter saves me $44 exactly, but I also get it like 2.5 months later? Thoughts?

    Don't be so overdramatic, this isn't the 20th time we've seen bee/prime. It's only the 11th

    Fingers crossed they don't do another Prime or Bee after they put out Jetfire.

    Honestly just depends on whether the $44 matters that much or if you're okay with waiting 2-3 months post release to have it in-hand. I'm just going with Threezero directly so that I get it as soon as it releases. Rather pay a little more if needed.

    Won't there be customs charges if you order directly through their website? Or do they have a US warehouse?

    They ship directly out from Hong Kong via Express International Mail. It delivers via FedEx once in the US. There was zero charges when I got Soundwave like two weeks ago.

    Soundwave delivered in a week from the time it shipped out from HK.

    In many countries, probably yes. But the US has crazy high import thresholds. Like $800+

    I was planning to buy 2 directly from ThreeZero but ended up placing my order with TFSource. It dosen't really bother me too much that ThreeZero started charging shipping, especially since ThreeZero would ship months before TFSource. BUT... ThreeZero no longer accepts paypal and requires you to store your credit card on their server. Not happening. I can wait a few months and save $50 in exchange for a secure transaction.

    I have yet to be hit with customs charges (and I've ordered multiple times). There's always a first time, but based off experience it's unlikely.

    I ordered one from threezero. Still debating if I want doubles (at this price) for a combined Jetfire. Figure I'll order a second from BBTS or something if I decide to.

    Is this a scaled-down version of what ThreeZero released a few years back? It looks identical.

    Now you too can recreate the famous scene where Optimus graphically rips Grindor's head in half, or tears the face off of an old man transformer to assert his dominance.

    As much as I despise the Michael Bay designs...........ThreeZero has done an incredible job here & considering purchasing. The paint job is vibriant and really pops for a clean look. Can\'t stand battle damage paint jobs. Great Job ThreeZero!

    I want to get it to support the line but really want to wait for the Evasion repaint.

    I think it needs to be glossier for a start and the blue darker. It looks a lot like their premium scale DOTM Prime from years ago and I know people were complaining about the inaccurate paint and proportions of that one too. It's like they took that one and resized it in DLX scale with slight improvements.

    They're definitely not the same mold. The proportions on the old DOTM Prime was all kinds of weird.

    The old DOTM Optimus looked like a stumpy child with the proportions it had. :lol  Big improvement overall on this ROTF version.
