They were well packed and took less than a week to arrive in Perth. I'm happy!

I cracked open my IT Megs last night. Right away I could feel the satisfying heft on the figure due to the addition of die cast on the thighs and feet. The extra accessories like the different color Kremzeeks, backplate cover and additional arm cannon including Frank Welker's English voice clips from the 80s G1 toon are awesome. The ab crunch is definitely there. IT did a great job with this release.
My takra is still sealed in the shipping box after being delivered a week ago. I'm in no super rush to open it as I know the IT version blows it away.

Yes, small sample size and whatnot, but given how well the IT version of the KO has been received universally and how good the quality has been, what Drifand is saying is not implausible.
Yep. Even I’m thinking of selling off my official MP-36 and buying a better quality KO. Or at least keep the official in the box.
Yeah I transform my original 3/4 and stopped as I felt the paint wasn't going to hold and left it in bot mode. I think getting the Ko to play was the way to go and keep the original in box. That's my take on it.Quote:

I received MP-36 and its Collector coin from TLTC earlier in the week. Items were well packed and MP-36 box was perfect for MISB collection. Parcel was also sent by the date promised when it was preordered. This is my second purchase from TLTC and I recommend this retailer.
I wish I could say that this is my second MP-36 but alas I never received the first one (FU Premium Collectibles :mad:).
Yeah so finally did get refunds for all outstanding items thankfully.
Grateful to get the refunds, but won't be shopping there again, nor recommending the store to anyone like I used to.
End of February is fast approaching. Any news on the remaining LG stuff, Skeg?
*sigh* Don't want to risk not getting my stuff... time to look elsewhere but also means double purchasing - thanks for wasting my time and money, TLTC. Hopefully they'll still be in stock elsewhere when I get home from work.
They told me March for Char/ Kup. Regret placing the pre order now.Quote:

EDIT: I emailed them just before, and received a response within half an hour saying my gear is ready for pickup, and that they "have been emailing [me] collection requests over the last couple of weeks."
I certainly have not received any emails, and i check inbox and spam folders constantly. In any case I can grab them.
Okay, just repurchased most of my preorders from TLTC. Downside is that I've had to order from different sources which jacks up the cost of shipping. Upside is that their prices are cheaper than TLTC so in the end, it all works out to be about the same anyway.
Really sick of Aussie online retailers right now.
I edited my post above.
Gok, have you had any return correspondence off them in the past say, month?
Picked up my MP 36, 39 and 12+ yesterday.
He was running late so we didnt chat long. He acknowledged they haven't been on top of their game (2 different email lists to handle orders and enquiries - I never received a pickup email until I asked, apparently theres been a few in the same boat; they're gonna change that), and stock is delayed from the supplier/ held up at customs. But all this was stated as if thats just part of the game (which it is) and there's no real problem.
I genuinely got the impression that he seemed oblivious to the current apprehension people have with local purchasing due to the PC debacle.
Thanks Borgeman
Well for one thing i trust The Little Toy Company more than Premium Collectables and i do not mind waiting as they give replys whe they are not busy on facebook and you are more likely to get a refund.
The fact that TLTC isn't answering every email is an issue.
But on the other hand hearing that they do refund people if there is a problem is encouraging.
I had the same thing a couple of weeks ago with my MP Megatron and MP Sunstreaker. In the end I ordered a couple more things and asked for all to be sent together.Quote:

Just got my shipping notification for wave 1 PotP Voyagers, Deluxes, Legends, and Prime Masters. Now to see how long they take to arrive.
Got a shipping notification for my POTP wave 1 and MPM04 Optimus. Not sure if my Leaders are in it or not as asked them previously if they could be moved to a seperate order so I get my stuff quicker.
Annoyingly my TR Sawback I added on Sunday isn't in the shipment by the looks of it.
Received my PotP Wave 1 Voyagers, Deluxes and Legends yesterday. Prime Masters are apparently delayed to the middle of the month.
Leaders are delayed as wellQuote:

Ultimately I'm happy to pay the extra shipping personally as I did request they split the order to speed up me getting my items.
No mention of additional shipping costs in the e-mail I had from them. Time will tell.Quote:

I received my POTP Voyager, Deluxes a Legends today plus my MPM Optimus. Once again I'm happy with TLTC, but still think they need to up their game on communications.
So I have some mixed feedback. My Titans Return Trypticon arrived poorly packed with no protective packaging. This is very uncharacteristic of them, it seems on these large items they won't bother packing well based on my correspondence with them. As you would expect it was in pretty poor shape, not much point keeping MISB. Anyway they did agree to refund the shipping (which I used towards another shipment).
The good news is my remaining Black Series orders arrived safe and sound as always. I will no longer pre-order with them but may keep ordering the Black Series figures if they are in stock.
SoAprilMarch is almost over, anyone got shipping confirmation on POTP Leaders and Prime Masters?
Or some of the Takara Legends either. Skeg, when are they coming?
Apparently Kup and the lot came in last week. Trying to get pickup details for mine but no response yet.Quote:

I chased up Overlord and Brawn and was told orders were shipping yesterday. I haven't received an email or a tracking number yet though. Did you guys get a tracking number?
Thanks
I got a shipping notice for a Titan Master that was waiting on other items to ship with. I'm guessing they have sent it with my POTP Leaders, hopefully it has my Prime Masters with them also. I messaged TLTC to hopefully find out.
LTC Email seems to be on the ball today. Just sent an email out and got a reply in 2 hrs.
Yeah. The Leaders are shipping and we should all be getting tracking numbers. Hopefully my backlog from December is coming with them.
I have received my email for pickup. Where do I actually go to pick it up?
Large warehouse at 6 Tabbita Street Moorabbin, the gate they are closest to is on Levanswell Rd. They would need to be there though, so pre-arrange a time usually works best.Quote:
