While not entirely the same, got my Soul of Chogokin GaoGaiGar shipped from Amiami in 2 days. Crazy. Was not expecting that. Got the shipping notification Monday morning and becuz of the size it made sense to upgrade to EMS for $5 more from SAL.

Sadly, my Magnus is still in processing at HLJ. But that is my fault becuz I held off on shipping right away becuz I was waiting for other stuff to ship with.

My god, SOC GGG here, and MP Magnus and Legends Jetfire on the way. I am suddenly so broke and overbudget right now. But that is the nature of the beast when dealing with preorders.

Yeah, that's why I wish Takara wouldn't release all their big stuff this time of year. But at least this year I can sort of handle it, otherwise I probably would've had to hold off on Magnus. I still feel guilty about spending so much on TFs the past couple months though. Oh well, I save money in the end by preordering versus trying to track it down later.

1,033 g -- so just over a kilo. And the only thing extra is his extra face mask in the backpack. No guns or Spike or Daniel.

Does anyone local need the silver sticker sheet at the bottom for their MP Wheeljack? http://reprolabels.com/Binaltech/maps/wheeljack_4.jpg

Due to .... circumstances... I have two sheets of them.

Are the TF comics for the Chaos and Heart of Darkness series worth getting? I've gotten into TF RID and MTMTE series and REALLY like those. Recently I got the Omnibus for Infiltration/Escalation/Devastation, it was ok, but not great like RID and especially MTMTE. So, i'm just wonder on some peoples opinions on the chaos/HOD series. thanks

Chaos is good, some of the issues were written by Roberts. Heart of Darkness on the other hand.. I'd skip it, it's probably the weakest of all the arcs due to it being linked to IDW's infestation series.

Mind you, Chaos and HOD are two mini-series that are part of the larger "Ongoing" series that continues after "All Hail Megatron".
