Really digging the toy. I had an order that left China 3.5 weeks ago and arrive at my home in the states a few days back. So I'm not to worried about shipping for now from ShowZ

really?

My full payment went through hopefully soon

I hope they make a metal build of this

I agree! Is it up for PO anywhere?

Its seems you can transfer the rear hip skirts to the shoulder pads. I prefer on the hips...looks weird on the huge shoulder pads

Ohhhh, but will it be transformable? Their quality is decent, but I think they need to work on their metal placement, joint tightness and some parts fitment a bit more to knock it out of the park. 

I dont want it transformable. 

when did you get the sinanju?

Nuke everything. Sell everything you own and shack up in an undisclosed location in the middle of nowhere. Cut yourself off from society completely. Trust no one, assume everyone is already dead. Destroy all forms of identification and anything they can use to track you. Don't go outside, make no attempt to contact anyone. 

laugh but i may have the last laugh...coof coof

So update Going on week 7 for some of my orders. 

The rep from ShowZ initially offered a refund. But I think he didnt realize that it would be north of $750 dollars. 

He seems to be back tracking with me now. He responded with an email that 2 out of the 6 have been "STUCK" even tho its listed as shipped and left china he confirmed it hasnt and doesnt know where it is. But  I told him the other 4 have been in the same status since the outbreak happened and still shows shanghi. Ugh 

I Fhawking knew this would be fhawking painful! And it seems I will need to take the nuclear option and go through Paypal. 

FHAWK! 

The other thing is, if this virus doesnt kill most of humanity which based on trends and current data outside of the bullshit media is trying to hide this thing aint slowing down. Pretty much China is done like dinner. Video upon video and the telegram group im a part of shows the extreme treatment of the communist party to its citzens, now South Korea and Italy. I pull the trigger with Paypal and by any chance this gets under control, my relationship im assuming with ShowZ is dead. However even if they are able to pull a rabbit out of the hat they will not be able to get production lines and shipping for a month or two at which point there goes your time limit with Paypal....so your fhawked with only one option and I could use that money to gear up for the apocalypse

Sentinel is pure plastic though. This will have die-cast metal which would make it feel much better in hand though it will probably limit articulation just like every die-cast figure. I’d buy it just for the bigger drill and more tiny drills in his body honestly. Hopefully this figure will also be much larger than Sentinel’s which I felt was pretty small.

Also I’m not quite sure if this will be a KO cause I see some crediting to Gainax and Konami. 

 

 

You can also see the actual size of the figure 22cm or 8 and a half inches. 

Actually I have the konami and even that one isnt all 100% metal. Its actually quite stupid to have it all metal I had a CMs Chogokin ( I think that is the name) of a figure I took out of storage the entire armor was metal. It so floppy and just broke into a million pieces. The plastic frame and joints just crumbled. There goes 200 plus dollars. Scratch marks everywhere. Yeah no thanks I dont mind some metal here and there and a little bit in the inner frame but generally speaking Diecast all over a figure is not a good thing. I did see the sign POM and PVC so is it the inner joints or the armor. As the one below was all plastic on the inside and metal on the sheel

CCS Toys will be making this.  Same people who did Hardcore Thunderbolt Mecha which is fine quality wise based on Kuma’s review.

Its a nice ko of the sentinel 

But good luck ever seeing it. Week 7 no package yet 

Sigh Got the one refund for an item that wasnt shipped....but this is going to be painful....

you're welcome... XD

My MN White Dragon was shipped Priority Mail International Parcels out from ShowZStore on the 20th before flights from china were being closed off (I think it was the 22nd), and I still got my item. I think the MN WD was just sitting at port stateside because the US was backed up and their union workers had the hibbie jibbees (aside from them being soooo slow already). Maybe your item is at a holding at some port just awaiting for clearance?

EDIT:

Even looking at it now, my shipment started on the 20th but didn't processed out of china until the 21st. USPS gave me a bunch of crap about it being out for delivery the 6th (after it was cleared through ISC the 5th), but failed with no updates, later on the 11th stating it was undeliverable due to an incomplete address and then undeliverable yesterday which caused me to go down there in person to pick it up.

Best of luck getting your item remember to let it sit outside and the whole glove thing in case. I heard that this crap may stay on objects for a few days, no reason not to be cautious

ShowZ is refunding me for Zeta Bumblebee. A crying shame tho a nice figure

On the subject of China I just got a email from one of my suppliers. They're estimating they're going to be 4-6 weeks late on getting my order filled because they can't get the raw aluminum out of China. There only letting "medical flights" out. I'm not sure what that means except it doesn't include aluminum.

I asked my supplier if they can get the aluminum somewhere else and if so what the extra cost passed on to me would be. Looking forward to that number.

 

Good Luck Squids. Thats some business you got. I knew I should have exited my professional career and started my own business 

FYI 

I just got off the phone with PAYPAL. 

This is now a pickle of a situation. The rep told me they are very busy fielding calls on a lot of stuff from China that was paid for and now shipping is in limbo not just ShowZ. I will call canadapost and record the call and do the needful to ensure im covered. If I call ShowZ i imagine they will give me a store credit. However I do not want a store credit. Absolutely not. The rep told me they consider that a partial refund. Youre fraked if they do that,  kiss you money goodbye. SO it seems the only option is the nuclear one. Which I dont want to do but im not in the philanthropy business. 

Oh one more thing. I am not sure how the refund process works in the back end for paypal. They sure as crap are insured but they dont have the kind of funds to refund thousands of customers. Some of it is held in escrow. While you file a dispute there is that stupid waiting period where the seller will do everything they can to cover their losses. THINK! Human nature first....before anything else

And the message that they had Feb 10 shipping and then was taken down and now put up again

Im telling you folks it aint going to ship. 

Get your money back from Paypal

Here is one that was shipped later and has had the same tracking 

I think I am going to ask for refunds. I did ask for a refund on the Zeta Bumblebee and have not had a response for 3 days.

They refunded me in store credit last week for a Black Mamba battle damaged Megatron. (It's a limited paint job so they most likely won't get any more stock in.) And I was just asking if they had any more detail on shipping than I could see and they wrote back and offered around $25 more than my order in store credit.

It was shipped Dec 5th and the last known tracking on it was an 'Airline Departure' out of Beijing on Dec 7th. postal.ninja stopped actively tracking it after about 50 days, it's now been in transit 70 days.

I'm sure they are getting hammered right now with package issues. (Some their fault and some just slow/lost in the ether due to multiple holidays.) 

I'd suggest working with them vs PayPal because I've never heard a negative comment about their customer service other than they could have packaged better. (They normally wrap them up pretty good...but I also think that's the rule of numbers, they going to have packages get busted traveling from continent to continent.)

But after all that, I searched for the tracking number on google yesterday, which then provided a link to USPS and it's:

I'd check yours as well:

Good to know my friend. But I do not want a store credit. Again without getting into too much detail. But I believe we are watching the end of the nation and pushing it back to the stone age. Hopefully we all can weather this bug, and the coming economic crap storm of laying all our eggs in a single basket. Some industries maybe able to pivot production lines to other locals but it will be a bloodbath with a month or 2. So i will need paypal for the refund. I dont want a store credit.

Well its week 5. If i dont get any of my stuff by next week 6 and i will be fair end of week. I am going to Paypal to get my refund. I feel bad. I mean what can i say. I dont have 800 dollars to just give away. It sucks... but i the transaction is not complete. So I'm sorry ShowZ....but at this point Im not sure i can trust them to refund me.

Hey i did get a package today that seemed "trackable" thoughout its shipping life cycle. The Postie gave me a strange look when i asked him to leave it outside after I signed for it. Put on the gloves and mask took it out of its package and massaged it in ooooh baby Purel in the garage ALL GOOD NOW

I don't believe for a second it's any of those numbers. 

If you want to watch something horrifying watch Chernobyl on HBO. In the first episode a party boss gives a "pep talk" to the lower bosses about how it's going to be handled and what they're going to do with the population "for their protection".  That's my impression of how this is probably going down in China.

NO worries man its all good hard to tell sometimes with words

There are lots of rumors going around now.

Not sure what to believe. A few minutes ago, saw a report about air pollution index in Wuhan is sky-rocketing. The conspiracy theorist estimated the burning of 19,000 human body could be the cause of this.

19K people dies?

I dont want to anger the macross gods so I will keep this brief. I find it hilarious others that question any narrative to be labelled a conspiracy theorist and then you see historical artifacts are discovered to open the truth of things. Trust me Im no alien or flat earther or we didnt land on the moon but there have been a bunch of coincidences that seem contrary to the leading narratives. China must save face. It has to present itself as "AWESOME" and beyond refute. Whats going on is not good. Just the R-Naught alone is an indicator this is not good. The research logs from research databases suggest HIV inserts. Nevermind in Aug the RCMP (CIA) lead out the chinese lab technicians from canada's only BioLab leve 4 were escorted out and shipped back to china...2015 US patents the virus and talks about using BAT RNA..etc etc etc. I am simply looking at the events playing out and it doesnt match the actual information from what is being promoted. Thats it. And i am merely pointing out that you may want to consider getting refunds on items you may have paid in full. It doesnt seem like they can get their supply chain in order....

That is all im going to say on the issue. Back to 3rd Party Gundams Please and thank you

Chinese government numbers downplayed? Conspiracy theory much?

if you think so. You dont lock down 200 million people over 600 dead and 30k infected. But if you really think its from bats or wet markets carry on....
