They aren't a 1-man operation, so I'm sure business will run as usual. I got the arrival e-mail for Scoria yesterday and it went out for shipping today. Breathe easy, you're time will come to upgrade your tank.

Nahh It'll stay in my POL for a while now since I just shipped next week expecting all the third party stuff due in June to be delay cause that's normally how it works.

Not me.

LOL, me neither. But hey, at least you can plow the dough back into TFs!

Well, I got the G2 Megatron upgrade set, but it's the only thing in my POL. So it's gonna be sitting there for a bit.

I don't mind, though. It'll be nice for at least one Megatron/Optimus pairing to be on somewhat equal footing, equipment-wise.

The package arrived at the city nearby yesterday and the tracking said it will be delivered today. We will see, we will see. :KREMZEEK:

You win ten points for that one.

But back to the kits, yeah. It's the only one I really needed. I got the old HR set for my HFTD Bludgeon, and I don't own that blue-colored one. I'm actually not even sure who that is. :???:

The blue one is Overlord.

*Looks him up* Ah, thanks.

I... don't care about him, so that's some money I'll be saving.

But... but... Overlord!!!

I mean, this particular incarnation of him is pretty meh. I got the HR Skel-E-Tron to, well, make him more relevant to my collection. But the idea of Overlord, and the character himself, is awesome.

And he doesn't do anything for me. If you like him, then legit cool. Same for others, but I don't care about the Japanese G1 series nor do I read the IDW comics. So he's someone I don't need a figure for.

Well, very happy with this set (Bludgeon) but then quite disappoint with the quality (oh, and why no instructions).

1. The silver diecast part on the red helmet dropped. :-?

Super glued it back but still, it probably shouldn't drop by itself.

2. The long sword's handle broke in half when I tried to remove it from Bludgeon's hand. I don't consider doing it rough when I did that. Super glued them together and now I have to be even extra careful when removing the sword from the hands.

This is my first PE purchase. Is their quality usually kind of like this?

Normally it's much better. I've owned Kingbat & not-Reflector, and now own Warden. All of which have been very good quality.

I think it's hit or miss with PE, though. I recall people having issues with their not-Rumble/Frenzy and not-Arcee.
