Yup really, I am not getting a masterpiece. I am getting a Fantoys, so yes really is like a drop in standard.

Which retailer you get him from? Either way first you get Megatron, now Phoenix. How many babies did you sacrifice on the Transformers altar? :D

This one was pre-ordered a while back with TF-Direct, had a discount voucher with them + free shipping.

Mine was $199 shipped from tao. Not sure how much success you'll have there. You could try toyercityhk, their prices aren't bad if still available

Nope. Sold out at toyer

Yeah, I've been using CD a lot lately, but an extra $100 more than PC is a hard pill to swallow.

Given pc's track record with ft products, i think it's a pill you might be better off swallowing sooner rather than later. Ft10 will be a popular figure so the aftermarket prices are going to soar. In saying that though, this could work to your advantage when trying to sell your pc ft10 if and when it arrives. I don't think today's cd price will be that bad 12 months from now compared to aftermarket prices, so you may get your cd money back

Thanks guys. I might just go with CD as Toy Bento and Oh My Primus don't work out significantly cheaper.

I have met the guy and he is very easy to deal with. Trust is in short supply at the moment so paying a bit more (especially if you can pick it up in person) may well be worth it.

Yep, picked up several bots from him in Auburn. :)

I bought one last night from OhMyPrimus. In stock and worked out to be just a touch under A$250 delivered.

Would it be considered toy of the year? I felt this was quite deserved

For those of you that have him already would you be able to measure the head width where the faction symbol would go please? Width across the top temple area I guess.

Mine's coming (!) and wanted to see if I need to order some new decals.

Thanks!!

Favourite toy for this year over my Megatron.

Here are my thoughts.

FT Pheonix is a very good attempt for Jetfire/SkyFire MP.
Okay so I had an overall feel, and I am okay with it not being painted in many areas as I would imagine the folding of the Arms in place would scratch. The White plastic is very pleasant, I dont have issues.

Face, it looks good to me and I am happy with FT attempt.

Hands, good articulation for each finger and it screams better than masterpiece.

Transformation, is quite easy after my first attempt and didn't need to look at instructions again.

What is bad?
Well people pointed no waist rotation which I agree a bit but it doesn't bug me that much.

No stand base for plane mode? Only adapter provided?

the two small wing tips behind keeps popping off and should have a better fit.

Overall?
8.5/10 or even 9, is only missing made by Takara tag but I for one may not be interested in the Takara version if they release.

Is such a tall figure that it is hard to place in a display cabinet.

I really like this figure, I am glad I got one.

Digging up an older thread, but just curious if anyone that preordered theirs through Premium Collectables has received theirs yet?

Not that I've read, having read the feedback and complaints forum for PC. If you're aware of the PC issues, then it'll be a very very long time I think.

Relying on Fantoys is a bit hard enough, and relying on a bad reputation retailer that constantly gives bad updates, you might be going to miss out on this fantastic figure altogether.

This figure reminds me of the bad times I had with PC and how this figure brightened my day. I am glad my copy is not from PC period.

Most people have already gotten the second run.

The biggest kick in the nuts for me is that I decided against getting MP36 as I already had FT10 on order :mad:
Oh well live and learn

BTW drifand thanks for the info via pm but couldn't reply as your inbox was full
