In any case, haven't really been following this thread, but thought I saw mention of the figure being mis-configured? Is that for some or all?

Apparently it's all? I could be wrong.

All come with the shoulders joints oriented a certain way that makes lining up the arms and front end of the car for alt mode more fiddley/difficult, but not at all impossible. It doesn't affect how well everything ultimately tabs together either in alt mode, nor does it affect articulation of the arms in robot mode. It's mostly a convenience to flip the shoulder joints around. It's so easy to do, that you might as well do it too. If you can gently pry apart the two halves of the torso, you can do this swap without any tools and without breaking or damaging anything. It's also completely reversible if need be. The only possible drawback for switching around the shoulder joints is that it doesn't look as good compared to how the rest of the shoulders are sculpted with the flat edge facing up as opposed to the factory installed curved edge up. Most people are honestly not going to notice that one way or the other, though, unless they know to look for it, and for anyone who can tell the difference, I'm sure only a tiny portion will really be upset by it.

You should be fine. Single orders arrive in thinly padded envelopes, but two or more arrive shipped in boxes.

I'm not exactly sure how TF Source works, considering I've only ordered once from them an item on clearance. But it currently states Wreck-gar is still in pre-order status. You must have been one of the fortunate ones that got it way early. I was hoping this was an indication walgreens would have it soon, but if its still not in stock in most 3p sites, i guess I'll have to keep waiting. Wreck-Gar and Predaking are the last regular release items on my list to complete my PotP collection.

I really dont think its related because the stock comes from different places. TFSource is getting it from an Asian seller and not Hasbro (who is only sending them them directly to Walgreens in the US). The Wreck Gar toy has been finished for a while and found at retail across the globe for months now. I myself have owned him for almost 2 months now (sent directlyto EB Games courtesy of Hasbro Canada) and its not like stock in canada was any indication of it coming to the US.
And Wolfman, your review for Wreck Gar is on point. he really is just a straight forward redeco to be another random limb for a combiner. Nothing really stellar with th retooling and the paint job isnt premium in any way. Just another limb.
