    Look it up on 17Track. Ali tracking sucks.

    I think you're alright. I'm only an hour down south from you, and I ordered a couple days before.

    Who the hell said this thing was 8.6 inches? That was the main reason that I bought it.

    WJ needs to learn how to read a ruler. I was disappointed that my OS TR animals weren't 8 inches.

    Mine apparently hasn't left houston. Had a pretty big cold front rampage through, yesterday. Dogs and cats living together... Mass hysteria! He scanned "departed" twice.

    (And five minutes after I typed this... He has arrived back in NHP&D. Every year...)

    This guy is vastly superior to the Hasbro.

    WJ keeps putting varnish over just the diecast. I'm sure it helps but, it's so shiny.

    They also got rid of wrist rotation.

    I dont think that fight would last too long.

    They also have made the head bigger so, the range of motion is taken down a bit. He cant look up, anymore. Theres also a lot of mould flash on his faces.

    That looks great!!! I can take pics of him with Studio series Megatron and the autobots. Mine departed Houston around 4 today, so I should get him tomorrow or Monday. He looks really good!!

    I was really tempted by this guy until I saw removed features/ articulation (circled in yellow), extra hollow spots (circled in red), and the missing/ misplaced paint apps. He is a much better size, if only they wouldn't have changed things for the worst. 20181102_214500.jpg
    They even removed a hinge from the back section as well.
