I personally wouldn't pay $50 for that MMC mess.

But hey, that's just me.

Guys, chill out. Fran is good people. Much like many others here. Let's not turn on each other over a couple of words. Think about it for a second...there are plenty of other people saying meaner things on other forums...are we gonna have to track them down and berate them as well because their opinion may or may not offend?

Some people call my 1/6 collection dolls. Well...they kind of are if you think about it. I just laugh it off and scream "they're action figures...with Kung fu grip!"

Chillax guys. We're all fans of the same thing.

I like this thread better than any other Transformers forum. I never knew it was here until I started collecting Hot Toys back in 2013. I feel we all contribute information here about all things Transformers whether 3P, Statues, official.

I guess my 750USD price pay up front isn't too shabby after all

I like it here a lot too. I do occasionally visit TFW, but usually i come here because I collect bots as well as 1/6 scale.

Yeah me too, but collect Bots and Statues now. I had a large 1/6th collection, but sold them all except for 89 Batmobile

I once considered selling my 1/6 collection. but immediately snapped out of it because the mere thought of it is pure madness. Madness!


I'm gonna end up dying an old man surrounded by toys.

Aren't you screwed if you end up with qc issues?

That's a $350 difference still. But something to consider for sure. Decisions decisions.

Yes you are saving 350USD and if you have QC issues I don't know what you would do as I never dealt with them.

I have the same problem when I spend 1100 on an XM statue from a third party seller. I have no idea what I would do if I had a QC issue.

I ordered my ultimetal Prime from over seas and the quality is so amazing I really feel good about the action toys company to not even worry.

If there is anyone in this thread that can tell us your experience with Premium collectables in Australia please chime in.

I got Ultimetal Prime from Robot Kingdom with no issues.

 

[franpincho]

Ended up preordering with the chosen prime.

I've got enough points for a free $150 MP now...

can you pay w/ paypal? if so, you'll be covered by their protection program.

i've never used them... but i have used popcultcha from AUS... and had issues with things being broken... they were happy to fix them.

No option for PayPal. They seem to use a third party payment processor. So you would only have your credit card protection. They accept MasterCard American Express and visa


I've ordered from PopCultcha two times and never had a problem with my figures. PopCultcha accepts PayPal only for some reason but is a large store like BBTS whereas this Premium collectibles seems to be the size of Captured Prey.

Any word on an Ultimetal Megatron? I'm surprised that released the Magnus first.

Nothing on Megatron we all have been waiting since the prototype revealed in 2014.

Truthfully nobody has released a highly detailed action figure or statue of G1 Megatron. It has to be licensing restrictions but don't know why since the figure or statue wouldn't transform into a gun anyways.

I got Ultimetal Prime from Robot Kingdom with no issues.

Cool I bought mine from a distributor in Hong Kong but they were only able to ship EMS so it was nice to get it in 4 days but sucked I had to pay 180USD to ship.

I've never ordered from Robot Kingdom how was the shipping for Prime? Did they ship slow boat SAL or tell you EMS express was the only way due to how large the box and weight was. I think the box weighed like 30lbs

What is this about Inferno being as tall as Ironhide?

He should be about a head taller and about Prime's shoulder level.

I preordered but if he is out of scale like Grimlock, I'll cancel it.

But with all the engineering going on, I doubt he is that short.

MP Inferno $139.99 at BBTS.

Got me by surprise. I was thinking the price would be $90 - $100. I am too weak to resist - I end up pre-ordering it regardless. Grrrr.

I shipped it EMS. Don't remember if there was another shipping option. I paid $849 for Prime himself and $239 for shipping. I bought it months after it was released so it probably was cheaper if I pre-ordered earlier.
