3A TRANSFORMERS - DOTM: Optimus Prime Premium Scale Figure

[Bob 121]

As much as I hate 3As business practices, this is why I buy from Bamba. Free shipping and I don't have to worry about if I'll be able to afford it on release makes me feel better about paying up front. And it's generally cheaper.

It's just such a shame the company is so terrible. I've really had to cut back on buying from them because they really don't deserve much money anymore.

My ony issue is the wait between preorder and delivery.
They should really increase their manpower or something.

 

[Bob 121]

The wait between preorder and delivery wouldn't be so bad if they didn't have multiple delays for every single figure they ever produce.

A rad toy review! Been a while since the last time I saw one. I always enjoy your reviews.

 

[rad toy review]

Thank you!

Yeah, the site's always been basically an excuse to collect toys/a hobby.. but real life (and a baby) has gotten in the way of me doing them as regularly as we used to. That said, I feel like we're starting to get a handle on things so I hope to get back to doing them at least once a month from here on out.

Thanks for the read.
It's high quality.

I do think you spent a bit too much time on the intro, basically reviewing the movies etc.
All in all l enjoyed your perspective and presentation.

 

[rad toy review]

Ha. Yeah, I can see that. I started writing those as a way catch the random thoughts I'd get when first opening a figure.. to give some perspective or feeling that doesn't fit neatly in the "how well is it articulated/painted/sculpted etc.." but I tend to write them pretty quickly and from time to time, let them get away from me.

I'll keep your comments in mind the next time around.. thanks for reading!

Another great review by TOYCRAFT. Although it's in Chinese, but the presentation is superb!

I feel you man...this has been a gnarly wait for this damn thing. It doesn't make any sense with the way they did it.

^ I think it has a lot to do with the structure of the company. 3A is usually producing very unique figures that have a very specific appeal and probably do not have huge orders to fill. The Transformer license has probably taken them to a whole never level of manufacturing and order volume. Hopefully they will soon adjust to the higher volume sales and be able to match with proper manufacturing time lines.

I still have not received mine either so I feel your pain. Looks like it will be November or December for those of us still waiting.
