Mine just shipped! Apparently I should just ask now if it's shown up at anyone's door yet because the previous two times I've asked about its status, whatever I asked about happened for me like a half hour later!

UPS tracking shows mine being delivered today. UPS usually shows up in the next couple of hours. I will keep everyone posted.

I ordered Monday night, they only had substandard left... I'd considered waiting, but I'm kinda glad I didn't wait, now. Woulda been screwed if I had.

My item shipped yesterday, UPS has the shipping info. Tracking hasn't started yet. I'm betting he arrives Monday. This is gonna be great.

If you still need a Classics Ultra Magnus... tough luck. Big Bad Toy Store is sold out of their preorder for the Optimus/Magnus 2-pack. TFSource is now sold out of their stock of them as well.

Digital Toys has stock but they have that Paypal shopping cart. I wish to avoid Paypal.

There IS eBay but they've started that idiotic Paypal only setup, because they claim that anyone who pays with a money order is a thieving scumbag who pays in forgeries, never by legit postal money orders. Yeah, we're thieves, because we take money out of Paypal fees by using money orders.

Best I could find was http://toyarena.com hich has the set for $64. Managed to order one, but I expect their stock to vanish overnight.

Same here, but why hasn't any tracking info shown up yet? It's been over 24 hours!

I just got to sit down and play with mine today. Absolutely beautiful. Perfection. All the pieces fit perfectly and its aesthetics match the figure wonderfully. The colors are beautiful.This figure has easily slipped into my top 5 all time favorites. If you do not own this yet... GET IT! If Hasbro hasn't hired the individuals who designed it... they need to!

Just curious, was the set going to have a limited production run?
And if so, what was the number? (roughly)

News Credits: 1 · by **Asphalt22** » Thu Oct 16, 2008 5:31 pm

I think I saw that each online supplier got 1500-2000 but dont quote me on it.
I got mine today and I cant believe how heavy it was. With all the questions about quality control I wasnt sure, but man he weighs as much as some of the mega armor primes. The only problem I have with him is His left shoulderpad doesnt clip as tight as the right and knocks off a bit easily if ou bend the elbow. BUT STILL FREAKING AWESOME. I WILL BUY EVERY REPAINT OF THIS ARMOR. I just need to figure out some new heads.

Finally showed up! Although, get this... So I'm watching the tracking info on UPS.com periodically throughout the day as it said this morning it was expected to show up today. About 3 o'clock the status finally comes up as delivered. Sweet! Just need the last couple hours to pass at work. So 5 o'clock comes and I hightail it home. Go to grab the mail and THERE'S NO PACKAGE! I'm thinking WTF?!? It said it was delivered! So I start looking around, side of the steps, behind the bushes, in the yard...NOTHING! Finally glance over and notice a package sitting in the neighbors open porch (their porch is being remodeled so it's currently not totally enclosed.) Jackass UPS knob delivered it to the wrong house...had to go steal MY effin' package from the neighbor's porch!

I'm sure it would've been all good as my neighbor is a middle aged woman so I'm sure she woulda brought it over, but I was a bit annoyed because what if I wouldn't have found it first and my neighbor was an a-hole?

Anyhow, the product itself...as everyone has said already: AWESOME! Reminds me of RID Prime kinda. Just need to find some G1 missiles. I have the reissue missiles, but they just don't look right being 3 inches long.

Mine came this afternoon from BBTS and now I'm playing around with the figure. Well done from a fan made. I also like the way they showed the instruction in story board style. Earlier, I was like did they forget the instruction sheet, ehehhe.

I find it kind of strange for their comic/instruction that they decided to show City Commander in Prime colors for both the trailer (Powered Convoy) and the classic cab (in classic Prime colors). Maybe that's the reason they labeled it TF-Paralax: Orion. I was expecting to see the Magnus colors (white and blue) :lol:

Damnit! I shipped my Loot Wednesday last week and here we are at the end of Monday, and it's still in the warehouse. BBTS needs to do something. Maybe they need to hire more employees, I dunno.

They ought to open a second warehouse here in East Texas. I imagine it would help a lil' with shipping distance and time. I would even turn in an application for employment :grin:

I WANT MY CITY COMMANDER!!!!!!!

Toy Arena delievred Ultra Magnus today and Big Bad delivered City Commander.

It's a very nice set, though I had a pain in the butt time attaching the leg armor and now I can't get them to even come off. Anyone know the trick to removing them?
