I just got the following email from iGear regarding the tracking numbers not working for these guys. Seems the order haven't actually shipped if the tracking isn't working yet.

Dear Customers


About the shipping of the MW-03/04 orders, some customers are asking about the tracking number doesn't work, we want to let you know, we got all tracking number once we submit the address info to our logistic agent, but the tracking number will be worked after the delivery company recieve the package, there are some blank days before the tracking number worked, and there are some special reasons for the MW-03/04 orders, first is because of the release date of the two products just was the holiday in China, all delivery stopped, and all MW-03/04 were packaged at the warehouse of our logistic agent, and only 1 person is doing the package work now, so the shipping is slow... there are about 10 orders shipped per day, all orders will be shipped out before the end of October. We accumulated a large number of MW-03/04 orders need to be processed, so the shipping may continue until the end of this month. BTW, the other orders(not the MW03/04) will be shipped immediately once the order placed(they don't need to be packaged). Sorry. We just want you to know, all your orders will be processed carefully, please wait for more days, we are working hard try to ship out all orders as soon as possible, thanks.



iGear Team.

I really like that Cosmos figure. The only thing i'm not stoked on about it is the feet. Wish there was a little more substance there. It's whats actually preventing me from pulling the trigger on this purchase. He's my favourite mini-bot too.

LOVE the helmet and space gun.

So happy that stupid space helmet comes off !!!! :D In the parts box it goes...

Loving Brawn too. Cant wait to get an Outback version to replace the crappy RTS version. And the scout size really works great. I wish they would re-issue Huffer and Seaspray larger too.

UFOs colors look washed out but Hench is real really tempting.

Yeah, I too am finally getting some information back when I enter my tracking number at the Hong Kong post site. I originally got my e-mail from Igear on 28 September saying my item was shipping, but it wasn't until yesterday that my items were finally leaving Hong Kong for the USA. Talk about going through tons of paperwork and red tape just to receive toys from overseas.

Either that or Igear stretched the truth a bit as to when they were actually shipping out our items. I'm betting they gave us an estimated day our items would ship, only it didn't happen until about two weeks later.

I wonder how many clicked on the "ship" button once BBTS filled their minibot orders?

Well, I have Brawn in hand. And love him. :D He's my Classics Brawn, now. Slightly tricky to get the legs together properly, but overall he's great. Love the shotgun. 8)

Finally got these two myself. I was plesantly surprised by the size and "Cosmos'" accessories. They actually included that stand with him. I thought that was just a prop!

"Brawn" had a flaw right off the bat, though. The ball joint holde ron his left arm was warped right out of the box and it comes off like nothing. It's not really broken - it can go back in. But it's definately not as secure as it ought to be.

Having these guys in hand also makes me think they must have simply upsized their Legends class molds. The size of the ball joints on these guys are rediculous.

I don't know what's going on with the HK post on this delivery. When I entered my tracking number on the www.usps.com website, it showed my package arrived to NY's sorting facility on the 15th... 4 days ago. I estimate I'll get it either tomorrow or Monday while my Toys R Us Deluxe Swerve is to be delivered by Tuesday, the 23rd.

So I preordered Hench a while ago, but after seeing some fan pics of Not-Cosmos I decided to bite on it as well.

It is a nice classics updated mold. The head turned me off, but now seeing some closer-up pics it seems like a pretty cool "battle rage" face or something.

I think now the only think I don't like is the green they used for Not-Cosmos is not the darker G-1 green, but I guess I can live with that.

I agree re. the Cosmos green, I'm still hoping it will look darker/more muted in hand. Also, these guys are a lot bigger than I thought!

Nope, It's a candy green, but I think it really works with the '50s-esque spaceman theme they are using.

Yup. Looks like he cut out the support struts that go over the shoulders that mount the car body kibble. Would have had to separate the car body from the back too.

Kind of like the mod.
I wish the car hood at least slid back so you could get to the head easier.

But all-in-all these are excellent!

Finally got mine. Love em.

That mod would look nice but make hench a little ass-heavy. The lack of paint accents hurts both a little and that gray plastic on Hench really bugs me - where are companies getting this cheap gray re-grind stuff? Hegemon uses the same stuff and it just begins to look bad after a while.

Other than that IP issues be damned...I'm on borad for the whole mini series. Cant wait for Cogz now. And Huffer/Rager really needs a scale-up to match them now too.

I estimated right, my Hench and UFO were delivered on Saturday, unfortunately I had to work and wasn't able to receive the package and sign for it. But I was off today and swung by the post office and picked it up.

So far I'm loving Hench/Not-Brawn and UFO/Not-Cosmos both. The left hip ball-joint on Cosmos is a little loose, but other than that, both are cool. I'm only going to be displaying them the majority of the time in robot modes anyway.

Now to start saving for the Not-Throttlebots, Grind Rod/Not-Rollbar and Aurora/Not-Searchlight as well as the new Not-Aerialbots. Don't even get me started on the new MP Soundwave w/Laserbeak, Rumble and Buzzsaw, and Frenzy and Ravage.
