    Jesus, Mary, and Primus! Devy’s seen better days.

    A promising future. We’ve got a 1,000 sq. ft. house now but we’ll upgrade eventually to a place where I can celebrate my hobby properly. The Lewin Metroplex is a work of passion and art IMHO, but it has some design deficits that I intend to correct via CNC and metal casting.

    Introducing Lewin's take on Metroplex. I don't have space for it so it's going directly into storage as is. Shipping label said it was just over 100 lbs. but it sure felt a lot lighter than that. The shipping estimate was 40-70 days by boat, and it took 43 days from date of purchase to delivery.

    Is your price a little too reasonable? Someone's angling for a moonshot with their listing: I bought the trio of visual archives way back when. Never even opened them because I have zero display space. One day...

    I think I may have posted to the wrong thread. Let's try this again: My two Sv-262Hs Draken IIIs arrived today (Nashville, TN) from Amazon. I’m glad they were packed together inside a larger box because Bandai(?) provided zero clearance/buffer/packing material to protect individual units (see pic).

    I'm a mog. I'm my own best friend. We ain't found 5#!+!

    Pfft! I didn’t pay any attention to the poster. Thanks! That said, I don’t recall seeing fast packs on a Legioss before now. I’m wondering if a Legioss w/ fast packs can merge with the Tread.

    Might be right if it’s the same company producing all these model kits (see pic).

    Any ideas on these five “ports?”
  11. 26662
    +5 pts. for “Monster.” MW’s got some scholars up in here. 😃 I’m gonna hate the belly kibble, but I’ll pick up two. I don’t have room to display my bots, but if I did, I’d use this figure as a centerpiece to bridge/anchor my Transformers and Macross collections.

    Do I see double “missile pods?” One for each shoulder? I like it.
  13. 26662
    I’m afraid to ask…

    A.M.E.N. There was a golden window during which we had no idea just how good we had it and just how sideways things could get.

    Both of my Haslab Omega Primes arrived in pristine condition: Hasbro spared no expense on the packaging. I'm glad getting to the affected part required minimal transformation/effort. After giving it some thought, I'm not entirely convinced toys are arriving broken. I run a fledgling (read: super-tiny sole proprietorship) manufacturing business and spend a good amount of time assembling/disassembling products. Given that experience, if I'm Hasbro, there's zero chance that I'm having employees transform toys before shipping them out. I would want all of the tolerances sufficiently snug and for all of the ratchets to make a crisp and satisfying click for the buyer to enjoy on day 1. I'm betting that the *majority* of damages we've seen online thus far are the product of folks following Hasbro's instructions but applying a little too much force or applying force along a sub-optimal vector. Is Hasbro blameless? No. I think Hasbro shoulders much of the blame for failing to anticipate this entirely avoidable situation during product development.

    Your best guess at a fanmode is righteous. Well done! I'm not familiar with the animation or the earlier mainline release of these figures so I can't really suggest any alternatives. I feel bad for those folks whose bot(s) arrived broken or broke during transformation. But I'm exceedingly thankful for the folks who got theirs before me and put out an alert on the potential QC issues. I **rarely** transform my bots - hardly ever handle them out of packaging because I don't have any room to display them - but at least now I know what to keep an eye on next time I pull them out of storage.
