    Finally paid for mine today and look forward to its arrival (but not trying to figure out where to store)

    Ill jump on this bandwagon. I actually think the box is really rubbish. It doesn't seal properly at the sides without stickytape to aid it.

    It's exactly the same physical box design as the last Predaking box, only with different art. I threw mine out too.

    It's the only major drawback to this set that I could find at all.
    If Headstrong is the Rhino, there is a little black tab at the middle back of his robot legs that needs to be pulled out and locked down to make him stand.

    That's just magic, thanks Deonasis.

    Mine came yesterday It's amazing how some plastic and diecast can make you so happy.

    I already had a spot on my cabinet set aside to display it

    The early pics did seem like it had a window, but I don't think that was ever the case

    I was also surprised that the box wasn't wrapped in plastic as per normal RK standards. It was just packed in the shipping box with a layer of foam.

    Thanks, I picked that up in a youtube review. I've never handled Predaking or seen him irl before. I will tho I've just got to pay for it and pick it up from Jaydisc first!

    Excellent!!!
    Glad to see that they've finally arrived dude, as I know exactly what you mean when you say that 'a little bit of plastic and die-cast' can make you so happy.

    Ah!
    Clever, I never thought to look on Youtube.
    Cheers for pointing it out though dude, as it was a little frustrating that he would always fall over.

    Yeah, same here.
    I'm very surprised that RK didn't have bubblewrap wrapped around the box, but then I guess I suspected that AmiAmi would have the foam like RK but meh, I guess I'm just glad that they arrived safe and sound.

    Glad to see I wasn't the only one here. At first I tried opeing up the flap with the hand thinking the middle would just slide out. Apparently not.

    At least the contents were awesome, after all that's what we get them for!



    Isn't it?
