    I'm trying to figure out where I fall on the waiting list. I pre-ordered mine on 01/24/06. When did the pre-order first get listed? Thanks in advance.

    Well that's interesting. I preordered from BBTS on the day it was put up and I haven't gotten any email or confirmation.

    i received mine. why didn't they put up a 3D model of G1 Prime like they did with THSGF Convoy on the front cover, it would've been better.

    edit: Takara's QC strikes again, i only have one hand thats pointing instead of two, so that's 3 hands that holds the gun instead. Sigh.

    Don't mean to be rude but YOU'RE AN IDIOT! There is only supposed to be 1 pointing hand and 3 gun holding hands (one left hand is angled downwards so that it can hold the front handle of the rifle). Check properly before complaining of poor QC.

    Yikes, maybe he didn't know. There have certainly been a number of cases of missing or switched hands on figures over the past few years, so it's not too farfetched a notion.

    You know, people tend to address one another a little more respectfully than that around here, which is actually rather nice.

    Saying you dont mean to be rude doesnt change the fact that you wer, nor give you carte blanche to unload abuse at someone. How hard would it have been to say "There is only supposed to be 1 pointing hand and 3 gun holding hands" without insulting anyone?

    If you check the diagram in the lower right corner on the inside flap of the front cover, you'll see the pictures of all the hands that were supposed to be included, and you'll see indeed there is only supposed to be one pointing hand. Have fun with it!

    Thanks. Unfortunately, I didn't pre-order mine until 01/24/06, so I guess I'm way down on the waiting list. I will keep my fingers crossed. :peoples:

    Didn't notice this having been reported yet...

    At Digital-toys, the THS-02 page says the shipment has arrived, and pre-orders are being processed.
