    Windcharger is just the best IMO.

    Ben looks so satisfied with that bot mode! Love it. That tends to make me think that XTB is not doomed. Good!

    I don't says shipping its XTB fault. I'm just Write if the figure don't be a piece of shit, don't be necesary pay twice for the shipping. And if the figure it's a piece of shit it it's XTB fault.
    Don't You think? But apreciate You thinks that sucks too. Because it it's sucks. Thats the reason why i'm done whit this company. Another product whit this QC it's simply inaceptable.

    Could be worse. You could be having to pay for the figure AND skyrocketing international postage.

    Sadly increased postage costs are hitting us all. Even within the same country and any other package from any other company is gonna be as high. Maybe more so with the weight of some of FT's figures.

    I received my new figure today! The figure does seem more solid so far. I haven't tried doing any transformations with it yet. Too late in the day for all of that. Will try messing with it tomorrow. Looks that when I got the 2nd pair of hands with this one, they provided me with the exact same hands that he already has on. Not really worried about that tho. I have the old version still so I've got backup. I'll have to find the one new review someone posted on here a few days back and see how the transformation goes. Will Keep you all posted. :) 

    Edit: Video on page 233. I hate that this video shows transformation from vehicle to bot yet Locke comes in bot mode. This is gonna be interesting. Too bad there wasn't a new one made showing the transformation back. Will see what I can do when I get there.

    Yup. Now Virtus and Jansen need to follow suit. They follow up with a super articulated Magnus and they're slowly assimilating my Autobot Movie shelf.

    Too much to ask for a Blurr?

    Plus he's one of their weaker figures imo. Wouldn't surprise me if he's one of their old school designs with that dated articulation. There's room for an updated one.

    I find the character to be so annoying that I've just always kept the UT version which is good enough for me. I've never cared for Jabber and wouldn't be interested in an XTB Blurr. - But I'd like to see other companies do their own Ultra Magnus. One that's just slightly taller and bigger than Prime, and not a behemoth like the official version.

    Morning everyone! Back up and debating if I'm awake enough to try to start transforming Locke! Honestly, I'm kind of scared. Haha! He seems fine as he is and afraid if I start trying the transformation something is going to break on me.

    Time to break out the nimble fingers and to be slow and cautious. Gonna try to reverse engineer this thing from the video that was posted. Wish me luck.

    Here's the before picture:

    what are the knees like and lower legs when bending the knees? and do the hands peg in more secure or still loose?

    paint looks a little sloppy at the bottom of the abs
