Does anyone know when TFcon is suppose to ship out the non-attendee packages? The convention has been over for awhile now and I have yet to see it show up at my door.

TFsource just updated their facebook page saying they got their shipment in so hopefully anytime now.

I got my ship notification about a week ago, so they are coming, just slowly.

Look forward to getting this set. Prime Evil graciously hooked me up with an additional Onslaught so I can do the full blown Stronghold custom including green paint removal. Now I just need to order a Nemesis TAW Godsword.

The extra customizations are the key to making this set work IMO.

I totally agree. I wasn't even interested in this set until I was the fully customized images. Just the set and stickers don't do it for me, but by stripping off paint and pairing him with the giant sword pulls it off. Just wish those damn TAW swords weren't so expensive.

This, really WTF? I'd like one to complete the look of mine but I'm likely skipping that point. BTW the stat readout sticker is an awesome touch. I think it's my favorite part of the set. Just a heads up for you guys wanting to remove paint. There are some places where it won't come completely out of the plastic. Like it's stained in. I'm sure it's random what spots hold that color more. Some folks opted to paint the green areas silver. Since my paint skill is zip I learned to live with it. I left the SWAT decos as well. The red stickers looked way too out of place in the reviews IMO. It's a cool kit though, enjoy.

I know, they were overpriced when they initially came out now that they set in retailer's stock rooms for months they still haven't come down and they don't ever seem to get put on clearance. What gives? They seem like they should have been $25 items to me. Oh well, I probably break down and get one.

I would have paid $40 at the maximum. I can not fathom what is in the set to command a $70 and more price point. That's initial run City Commander pricing and he's an amazing piece of engineering. This is a sword and some bits to make it a bigger sword. People are crazy. Of course if money weren't an issue, I'd have probably jumped on one by now. I'd still be painfully aware of the cost though.
