I equate the most recent e-mail to that annoying reminder you don't ask for but still get every 5 minutes because people have nothing better to do with their time.

I've literally received 3 shipments from them since they started sending out those email's, but, yeah, sure, I'll go double check that the addresses accurate

Maybe I should lay off?

I am extremely grateful to video reviewers for letting everyone see toys regardless of their availability. It's a big help to prospective buyers or, in this case, folk who may not get the chance to handle the figure. Speaking of which:

In case people didn't watched the video, it seems that an errant design choice is going to leave victory leo with paint chipping on his forehead due to transformation, so just watch out as it doesn't seem like there's any way around it other than to not transform it which would leave victory leo with an inoperable mouth and a double chin

It doesn't seem like it as it looked like it was a painted detent for the joint for the plate, but I hope I'm wrong. All I'll say is that I was just trying to help.

Of course. I'm not questioning that at all. However, as kanrabat said, there's a tell-tale sign that perhaps his copy isn't a final one.

It may not matter depending on how you chose to display the set, mine would be in Victory Saber mode full-time if I was going to display it. My BIG issue is the hollowness in the guns and the lack of blade storage in Star Saber, that's a KEY feature to the character.

Are you looking for a specific location to store the sword? Cuz the hasbro pulse video showed off about 10 ways to store the sword on Wing Saber

Nice to hear that Hasbro made this toy backwards compatible with an Energon/Cybertron toy from the 2000s.

I saw that but it's not THE way. Yes, I'm anal, it's Star Saber.

I did, thank you!
By the way, everyone, IF you have an account with FedEx you just might see labels being created for your Victory Saber.
Cool, I do indeed have two pending Hasbro Pulse shipments, nice! Interestingly the labels weren't made by Pulse in GA or PA, but by Hasbro Customer Service in IL. Shame, I usually get 2 to 3 day shipping from PA, IL sometimes takes a whole week...
