That picture is from China. I can't imagine Japanese people being that unorganized and dysfunctional.

This is a nice surprise. Apparently mine already left Japan

Due to timing of the releases relative to my pay day I had to much like with MP-27 wait a week to pay for mine. Finally paid for mine first thing last Thursday morning and it shipped earlier the following day,

Since it seems that most people who shipped SAL right away had it depart Japan shortly after I assumed that much like with MP-27 that the next plane containing SAL packages wouldn't leave Japan for another 2 weeks.

Didn't bother to check my tracking until just now seems that instead of waiting a whole week for it to leave Japan like last time, that it left Japan just one business day later on Monday afternoon.

This means it should turn up before the end of next week. Kind of regret having it ship to my new address now will have to wait up to an extra week until after the move to get it in hand.

Does anyone has very tight double elbow bend? One one side, i was able to doubled bend the elbow, if i use too much force, it might break. But if i completely remove the screw, i could double bend. Does anyone have that issue and anyways to loosen it up without removing the screw?

I wish I had mine to have problems with

I would just try unduing the screw a 1/8 , 1/4 or 1/2 turn first to see if that helps. It may be overtightened or there may be a plastic burr on the flange part.

thx, ill try later. Ull have urs soon. Nice china posting facility pics, i wonder how canada one is lol.

Btw, i heard people saying takara is superior than hasbro and people would rather buy takara. After i got hot rod. I duno if i expected a lot but when comparing to my hasbro bluestreak. I find its on par with my hasbro bluestreak and i like bluestreak one better. Its either hasbro is as superior as tak or tak is a lil bit lower. The difference i could tell, maybe the plastic quality. Besides that, its almost at the same level masterpiece figure wise.
