Mine's coming from Cali to Florida, too, but mine says it'll arrive Saturday.
I feel like that’s more realistic. Guess we will see. Where you at? I’m in Tampa.
Tampa.
(So too is LordGigaice)
EDIT: Just checked it again and it's been updated from Saturday to Tuesday. We'll see about that.
That’s awesome. I’m actually Seffner (Brandon area). Guess we will Tuesday or Wednesday.
Mine now says Tuesday and that it’s in Orlando.
Mine has also jumped from Thursday/Saturday to Tuesday. Which WOULD be good (want that toy) except staying home to sign for it would have been no problem on Thursday but is a lot less convenient today.
-ZacWilliam, basically staying home from work today is doable but gonna cause others hassles vs on Thursday which would have been fine for everyone.

Delivered!
I love this set. But now I would bring the argument back on that Victory Saber’s sword is too small.
Opened him up to check for problems, gave him a once-through on transformation. It's definitely something you can figure out on your own, and there's a few clever touches in there. Only actual problems I had:
- the slide for Tigerbreast's golden things was VERY tight to move from it's base locked position - I had to force it to get it to pop out and slide.
- The clips for the shoulder/hip connection in bird mode do not want to fully plug in on one side. It sort of goes in and it's there, but if I try turning that "shoulder" unless I'm careful it pops right back out
- Tigerbreast did not want to stay fully plugged in when both breast animals were inserted; one side or the other kept popping out slightly. It still stayed on, was just a slight bit of aesthetic annoyance.
- Not really a problem, but just a word of caution: the way the golden horn-things attach to Tigerbreast means you can easily pull them off instead of folding them back if you're not careful.
Also wish they could have painted Eaglebreast's eyes and Boater's var mode a bit, but otherwise a very nice set!

Victory Saber himself is too small.
As for the sword blade, DNA Design made a longer one.
I dont mind VS size to DS. Its just that blade. I remember seeing the DNA Design one, just never went for it. Now I might. Same for that Fans Hobby Armada Star Saber, proto pics look fantastic. Hasbro just cant get toy sword sizes right.
For the tiger wings, I added a small amount of cube lube to the grooves and that helped a bit. I'm hesitant to add much when it's this new and hasn't moved much yet but those were scary tight. I'm also keeping an eye on the rotators for the arm supports, and the outer ratchets, those were scary tight too for me. I have noticed that if you attach the tail part BEFORE trying to clip the legs to the sides it works better as the tail keeps everything lined up.
Yeah, they never seem to get sword blades or guns quite the right size for the figures, example, Kingdom Rodimus, for the price paid, his gun is just rather lame in terms of size, same goes for that sword he came with! With my Victory Saber, I have upgrade his sword blade and the Victory Leo cannons, with the cannons, I just didn't like starring at the holes filling the bottom and I found myself asking "Why?" Why did they make such a dumb choice on a expensive product that is funded outside of the normal means, but I never added DNA's wing upgrade for Victory Leo as I saw nothing wrong with the current wings!
