Got mine this morning. Very pleased, nice elegant transformation, good quality plastic. Great articulation. Similar design and proportions to the new Universe/Classics Prowl/Sunstreaker so will fit right in with those, and looks good also with classics bumblebee alongside.

Thanx in advance Hob.[/glow] In a baggie with instructions and a plastic tray. If you ordered more than 4 it came in a big box, if you ordered 4 or less they came in a magazine box. Neither packaging types came with any extra packing. I ordered mine on Wednesday, got them on Monday, and I've still not had any charges on my card Chevrolet are supposedly VERY bad at communicating anything when it comes to their shop.

[glow=orange,2,300]You lucky dawg! My order on the same day is still in the backordered phase by the looks of it. I accidentally ordered two as well! I'd kill for this guy, I just hope I do actually get one (or in my case two!)[/glow]

Hopefully they will get a restock, but I'm not holding my breath. This is especially annoying, 'cus they had plenty when I first went to the site and tried to buy a couple. Unfortunately I don't have a credit card anymore, (Bad exp with 'em a few years back that I'm still paying off!) and by the time I'd arranged for someone else to get 'em for me they had sold out. If anyone has a spare that they could sell to me without inflating the price too much, then PM me. Or I've got a MISB Alt Swindle that I could exchange if anyone is interested?

Oh that explains it. Ya see I've been charged for four and they haven't arrived. They must have sent 'em to you by mistake. If ya could just forward 'em to me that would be great. ;D I'll pay the postage of course!!

[glow=red,2,300]Just checked with the shop and it still says backordered. I orderd it on the samw day as Phill. Which is very odd as later that day i went back to check the pounds price and the site stated that they were in stock.
I hope i don't fall between the cracks on this one.
Swines.
Oh well i'll be checking ebay next if mine doesn't arrive.

Luckily his price on EBay has dropped quite a bit. The alst one I was watching ended at about £35.
As for the ordering of them. I ordered mine at about 6:30 in the morning, and it was after 9 before I managed to get the link posted. By then it had been all over the other big sites and was practically sold out. Like Hob said, he went back up for order later that day, but I think it was just a few that American's had cancelled their orders on, and they were snapped up quickly.

I asked my Pa to buy me one and he reckons he got 6!
I think he got one each for my brothers and the other 4 for me.
He intended for me to flog the extras on eBay to Americans, but now I feel like a bad person. I'll get over that though, because I'm opportunistic and mercenary, but you all knew that.
That said, provided I *actually* get them, I will possibly be up for the Swindle swap Oddsey...
Apparently, orders from customers in the United States were subject to a "processing" fee of over $50 and a "trans-Atlantic shipping fee" of almost $100(!).
Mwahahahahahahaaaaa!

Well, for anyone that missed out there are SIX on ebay UK for £30 each plus p&p.
All from the same seller too.
