Blimey, haven't you guys received this yet? It's taking an age! No. We only know what is going on with it with leaks, etc. Hasbro don't bother communicating with backers. It's not endearing me to Haslab. -Ralph That is utterly ridiculous! Do they cover that in their 'shows' and their 'pre-shows'? |

There is stuff in the streams, yeah, where they show samples. But given it's all in a digitised YouTube stream it's been kind of hard to actually tell the difference between painted samples and later production paint jobs. The email communication with backers is also... sparse.

Finally! A voice from the wildnerness! I got an email from Pulse last night asking me to be sure that my shipping details were correct in order to ship Victory Sabre. We have until the 28th of November to confirm that they're okay, which I assume means that they'll be shipping out shortly after them. Which means it's going to be a close thing as to whether they reach us before the Deathsaurus Haslab finishes funding or not...

Glad you mentioned that, for some ungodly reason Pulse had my parents address as the place to send it!! |

Surely they would be delighted to receive a Victory Saber?

Yodel delivered him today, I caught it as it sailed over the garden fence and into the bin (joke before anyone gets outraged). All looks good and non yellowed but will have to wait until after work for a proper look

Mine is going to Toy-Fu unopened. I got caught up in the crowdfunding hype. I would prefer to re-acquire the Robot Masters version.

Mine is here. I like the packaging. Cursory inspection, all seems fine. Amazing looking figures. Will probably save them for a weekend reward.

Oh good lord. We have to do a contents check do we? I saw a pretty nasty example of scuffed gold chrome on the chest too.

Vic remains unplayed with, but I have already transfor...... converted the box and this should be a feature on all future Conver..... Transformers.

Mine also arrived yesterday, which was indeed earlier than originally scheduled. I was going to leave it until I had some time to look at it properly at the weekend, but all the nonsense I was hearing about QC issues yesterday meant I opened it. All the pieces seem to be there, but there was some slight scuffing on the chrome on Star Saber's chest. Which isn't too obvious, and not as bad as some I've seen, and I can live with. But also, for the cost of the figure, I shouldn't have to. This has made my Deathsaurus decision for me, I think,

I know some people are missing a sword |
