As stated in the title.

I didn't even get a confirmation that they had been shipped, but Menasor and Rodimus were at my doorstep today.

I suppose I can provide pics, but it's not really necessary.

Take my work on this, these figures are fantastic. It seems that Rodimus is painted just as the KP version is. (He's not as nice as the KP version, the flames aren't as vibrant as I would have liked...)

Menasor is fantastic. Great paint aps, he really looks sharp. The Japanese must be crazy trying to get this figure with their love for all black repaints. Any way, grab him while you can, you'll be sorry to not have picked up Menasor if you're a Titanium lover.

Because of a shipping mishap, mine didn't even ship until today.

I can't wait to get my exclusive My Little Pony! FTW!

Indeed.

For the record GetterDragun, on a scale of 1 to 10, would you give Menasor a 10, or an 11?

Glad to hear someone likes Menasor besides me and I don't even have him in my hands yet...

Tomorrow hopefully. Counterpunch=lucky SOB

heh, lucky.... but i think it has something to do with you being in delaware.... you're pretty close to hasbros location in rhode island.... so im pretty sure a lot of you east coasters got em pretty quick.... even without the express shipping, since you're so close it couldve only been a few hours away.

I had to correct my email address with HTS. So I found out that my Rodimus Alt had shipped already. Can't wait! Now if I can just afford Nemesis Prime & Camshaft on ebay I'd be set. I'm not really interested in Rollbar, Ricochet, Rumble or Ravage.

Your review of the paint apps surprises me. I was sure that it would be the opposite way around.

One question about Rod. I see that in some pics he has a visor, and some he doesn't, or it's not showing up. Does the visor move up and down?I can't wait to get mine! This time, it really is HTS for the win!

The KISS Player version has a visor that can more up of down, yes.

I'm not sure about the SDCC exclusive. Let you know when I get mine.

I haven't transformed my SDCC versions. He's for alt mode only methinks.

Though, I have to say that I am very disappointed with the SDCC version. The gold-ish paint used to do his flame deco is just not vibrant at all. I was expecting bright orange that would stand out. Now that I have the KP and SDCC versions, I can honestly say that the KP version is superior.

You're review alone will probably send thousands of posters from all over to eBay to buy the KISS PLAY version. SDCC will see a huge drop in prices...reprolabels will make a set of KISS PLAY labels for alt Rodimus...and scalpers are stuck trying to give them away...

Well, it;s a nice thought anyway, right?

Mine just got here, but these are from my eBay pre-orders, not HTS.

Yes, I even got an ALT Rodimus Box! ha ha, how many people can say that?

FYI-- 2 x Alt Rodimus, 1 x TIT Menasor, 2 x Gold PD Destro, 2 x Silver PD Destro, 2 x Shadow Scout Trooper, 1 x McQuarrie Obi Wan and Yoda

Now to the grand opening!

I'm accepting offers if you want to PM me, but realize I paid a decent amount for it, so don't be frustrated if I don't let it go MSRP.
