Dude. I'm cool. It's just ____ like that goes without saying that if ruffles my feathers. It's necessary to leave constructive criticism or we would not have this forum but the bottomline with these fools is that that they absolutely are not here to post constructive criticism. I have not been a big fan of SS for a long time now with all their QC issues. Case in point, I cancelled my preorder for the AMP Suit after seeing in hand pics. And that killed me to do so. But I am at a point where why blow a grand or more for stuff that looks like its not up to snuff. If the Optimus Prime comes out and the in hand pics and criticism make we want to cancel so be it. But ultimately what this guy is leaving has nothing to do with constructive criticism. He's just an idiot.

We have to understand his motives. He feels sad and helpless that he's not getting this magnificent statue, so he has to rage out on the people. You can weed the people who actually have legitimate issues with this product to guys who are just jealous when they say stuff that is beyond reason or start throwing insults.

Just have to mark people like him as a troll in your books and move on. These sad losers just need to be ignored. Poor kid.

We'll just copy and paste the list of threadtrolls in all our responses

I understand what the haters are saying.This piece is not a 100% accurate,the symbols on the head are missing,no pin stripes,no light up feature(they could have at least added light up feature for the eyes),and sideshow is not well known for their QC so it doesn't make things better when you pay 1200$ for this one.

But i am keeping my order because im a huge optimus fan and this is an overall great looking piece,good presentation of the iconic character i loved ever since i was a kid.

What i would love to see though,would be a Optimus Prime maquette made out of pure metal,i would gladly pay more for it.

All good points Rock83 but nothing is perfect in this world no matter what you pay for something! so if people are looking for perfection they are going to be looking a long time.

Yep acrylic case like all my other big statues/busts.

Where do you get them from?

Some guy my dad knows who owns a plastics factory, he doesn't really make these cases but will do one for him when i need one.

 

[laudel7]

I wish I knew someone like that

Have you had a look on Ebay? maybe worth asking some of the sellers of the smaller cases on there.

 

[laudel7]

Could do, suppose I'll have to wait until I know what exact size I need

Hopefully that wait won't be too much longer.

 

[laudel7]

Tell me about it! I can't frigg'n wait!!

 

[Rock83]

I would need an acrylic case too,but no clue where i should go here

Might have to buy from ebay or something.

 

[laudel7]

Acrylic case sales will increase dramatically in may
