Nah, it was the Swerve/Gears two pack. I've called their bluff a la strangehamster said above. If they want my money, awesome. If not, I go elsewhere. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Finally opened Terraegis Rally! He looks good, but drat is he hard work with the instructions not being helpful. And dem floppy feet are worrying. I had to find a video to work out bits of his legs, and to confirm that the floppy feet weren't just on mine. Gonna change the head to the proper face, but other than that I quite like him. Very stiff joints, and he took an age to get into robot mode with some scary moments.

I know you're supposed to be able to but the bars on mine run into his windows and can't tab his chest in all the way. Yeah the feet are floppy, and the way his joints are assembled moving the ankle tilt actually loosens the screw, but his legs are stiff enough that I'm not sure it matters a bunch. He just stays where he's put.

Rhyno posted:Anyone else hear that Toyworld is calling it quits? Bunch of chatter that he various close outs on their old product and them being unable to find new designers means it's the end for TW. Is Coolsville any good? His car mode is way better than Downbeat's, and if he goes on closeout...

I know you're supposed to be able to but the bars on mine run into his windows and can't tab his chest in all the way. I honestly didn't even try. I took it off when I started to transform him to get more purchase because the door panels would not unhook from the wheel arch panels. And then I never put it back on again, and didn't realise until the instructions mentioned it. I've noticed the hands are a bit of a nightmare to get in and out. There's no lock it seems to hold them in place, and getting them out of his sleeves is an annoyance in itself. I've noticed I'm already seeing some of that sweet yellow paint chipping off the diecast at the edges.

TFSource doesn't want his limey credit card information because he's living in Southern Knifecrime along the Brexit shore, they'll take any major credit card from the US and Canada.

It's ok, I'm a little less enamoured with 3P dudes right now anyway. Out of all the ones I bought at TFNation, my favourite turns out to be the one I bought on a whim (Whirl), and my absolute favourite thing I bought was TR Twintwist. Surprised me, too.

I've never shopped from TFSource much except for when I have no other choice. I prefer the Chosen Prime because they have free shipping over $150, give you points that you can use to take off your next purchase and ship pretty fast. The people who work there are also pretty nice and they have their own review channel on youtube. I went to a con once and was really impressed by their booth so that's when I started using them.
