    C'mon folks. Let's move this "who's the better/worst reviewer" discussion somewhere else.


    I'm still saving up for Cell. Hopefully, by the time I have the funds, this figure will still be available. Big thanks to those that have been posting pictures and video reviews.

    I really hope you are able to get him. You will not be disappointed. He is by far figure of the year for me.

    The pictures have been keeping my wait moral up! I’m hoping mine will get here before September ends.

    So it looks like I missed the boat on this. Says sold out on the site. Any other options?

    Lol exactly I don't know how Jobby does it but that humor and plastic crack make a good combo for blowing a hole in our wallets. His most recent video of studio cell unicron is making me want to buy another copy.

    Got him out of the box tonight, looks great in bot mode, fuck what a transformation I've got blisters after all that, gave up on the instructions and ended up using video to transform him, not sure I got it all right but it's the best I could do, wish I had batteries for him would make a great night light lol.

    Only one warped mandible in planet mode and everything seems to tab where it's meant to, though the arms were an ordeal. Very pleased with my birthday present

    Easily fixable. Just take a hair dryer to it and it will go back to its correct position. To prevent them warping again the trick is to make sure the tip of the mandibles store in the ball joints of the opposite mandible when going into robot mode.

    That bot mode looks so awesome. I don't even care about the alt mode anymore.

    Is anyone else still in shipping limbo? I ordered mine through Baba and the last shipping update was from 28 July.

    The crazy part is I’ve orders other items since and they have already arrived.

    Bigger items have definitely seen slower ship times lately. Especially once Stateside. Shipping companies are just overwhelmed.

    Guess I got the shit end of the deal for going in late! I paid $399.99 at ShowZ. Took 33 days for me to get mine.

    Curiosity here. I just watched TMReviews review and he mentioned his QC sticker. He had number 1. I have number 2. Haha! Are there duplicates of these numbers or does everyone have a different number?

    I'm in the 'we'll ship your order when everything gets back to normal limbo'....so, that means it will ship...like...never?

    Any way not sure if that's worse than your situ, if you're tracking indeed there can be pretty long pauses between certain locations that is common during this pandemic.

    Would someone be kind enough to make a picture guide on how to get to the hip joint ratchets? I want to do surgery on my Unicron and lube them up.

    I also am looking for recommendations on how to file down the tabs on the back leg panels to make tabbing things together in planet mode easier.
