Teehee.

I checked mine and now it says it will be delivered today between 10am and 2pm.

(Tbf it's most recent update when I checked on Wednesday had it at a township in Pennsylvania about 2 hours from where I live in New York and now it's most recent tracking update was it leaving Syracuse, NY.

Which is 1 hour 49 minutes to the east of where I live...and 3 and a half hours away from the township in Pennsylvania???? What the hell. I understand that I live in a small town but like you couldn't go to a FedEx location in fuckin Rochester or some jive which is like 45 minutes away and the nearest major city????)

i did the shaving down with sandpaper thing

one of my teeth was already warped inside from the factory, so good thing i did before i fully transformed prime.

i got sanded it down so it's loser but with still enough friction so that it doesn't just like slide up and down loosely

Depending how they’re attached, if they’re not screwed in or ratcheted, a tiny bit of oil or grease worked into the joint can help loosen them.

Hope this isn't the HasLab quality to expect going forward, return plans on their end or no return plans...

Yeah, Unicron and Deathsaurus were immaculate, and my Victory Saber had no glaring deal-breaking QC issues.

I did do some light sanding on Magnus's wing posts and added some Cube Lube, seems to have helped a lot and still locks in place, but without feeling like I will crack the casing.

So far Optimus is still holding up, we'll see. I do plan to change it a lot in this week so I can report it if it does have issues, but I didn't do a single transformation before the block sanding, I saw what everyone meant when I opened it, is IS too big for the slot it fit in...

My package has been stuck in California for 4 days now but the ETA is still within the next 2 days. I suppose the tracking could just be needing an update but going from California to Illinois to the address in that time seems unlikely.

Checking mine, it too has been stuck in California since Wednesday. I guess they decided to ship yours and mine together.

I was thinking the Prime rifle from the accessory pack, but I think it works great with Fire Truck Optimus from this set (pics in the Picture Thread). It's not easy to get a good image of it proportionally, though. It looks a lot more off than it is.

The Fire Convoy design was actually my second favorite one of all, after the Powermaster, but I hated his dinky pistol.

so am i stupid or does the way you're supposed to connect blue bolts to ultra magnus in robot mode just like...not ******* work at all

like i get what you're supposed to do but when you do what the instructions tell you to do, that means the only thing keeping what were her arms attached to the rest of the weapon mode are just a single 5mm port for both (as opposed to the 5mm port and tab/slot as normal) and that single port is not strong enough, at least on my copy, to keep blue bolts from falling apart like my life when i try to plug her into ultra magnus
