Transformers questions by newbies, and not-so-newbies

Do people find that delivery times using EMS versus registered air mail from Asia (HK or Japan) are similar?

in my experience, HLJ's EMS takes roughly 3-4 days while RK's Reg. Air Mail takes just over a week.

This week's BigW catalogue (which doesn't have any Transformers toys, so I didn't bother with a news posting to ask this), has a kids pyjama set in Transformers theme, but the artwork is unknown but familiar.
On page 35, it is called "Transformers Heroes" and has three robot faces - Bumblebee, Optimus and Grimlock... but each is done in such an animated way, that Grimlock looks rather cutesy.
Does anyone have a link to where this art comes from, or seen it before?
I feel like I've seen it somewhere, especially the Grimlock... but can't find it to put my mind at ease.

I think it's just kidified cartoon versions of the movie designs. I think there are more complete versions of that artwork on other merch. can't be sure though.

My parcel finally arrived today. It took 10 business days once shipped using EMS service from Japan. Nine business days to land in Oz. EMS is quoted as 3-5 business days.

Q: Can I recoup some of the money I plashed out to use EMS? (when regular SAL would have been delivered in the same time frame).

MP Bumblebee's instructions refer to the front panel of the vehicle as the bonnet, but as we all know, the front section of a VW Beetle is for stowage, whereas the rear section houses the engine. But ever since I was a kid, I've always referred to Beetles as having the boot in front and bonnet in the back.

But is this actually correct or is it actually a case of the VW Beetle having its engine in the boot and stowage under the bonnet?

Stowage? Aww, that's adowable
Anyhoo, in this particular case engine in the boot, stowage under the bonnet.

Normally a package will say it is in the origin country till Australia Post gets their hands on it. In between those two points is something called Australian Customs. If your tracking says it was in Japan for days chances are really good that it actually got stuck in Australian Customs as packages will randomly stay in Customs hands for long periods of time. Shipping companies and stores that ship internationally take no responsibility for time in Customs and don't refund as it happens all over the world.

Yup, bonnet is front of a car, not engine cover
