Hey sorry I was out like a light after putting this together. Chavez is correct every piece but the base has magnets. There is a peg that holds the two Driller pieces together in the back.

No worries, hope you got rested. The statue is truly a work of art. I'll need to wait a few months to get it, but it sure looks like it's worth every penny. Cheers!

Here's some more pictures in better light. I included an apple ala Sideshow to show off the size.

That’s all I got guys. It’s too heavy for me to be lifting heavy stuff above my shoulders, as im just getting over a shoulder and back injury.
Have to find a friend to come by and help me with the torso and legs. I’m actually pretty pooped from carrying the boxes in and pulling everything out to set up for assembly.
Look out for tomorrow.

If anyone is curious what Chavez is talking about. Both legs need to be fitted into the torso, then all three need to be lifted up and placed into the base. Probably the hardest part because those three pieces are as heavy as the base and the torso's weight is all in the back so the piece is top heavy. I'm a weakling and it took me three tries doing it alone. I had to rest the leg pegs on my knees as I lifted the parts up then got lucky fitting it in the base. I have brusies all over my legs and chest from putting it together. When I carried the base up the stairs the Driller blades in the base left indents in my hands for hours. 
I'm still absolutely wrecked from this statue. I plan on taking it apart and moving it over the next week. When I get him to where he needs to be I'll take a few more next to my Megatron's. Unless you are crafty like Chavez which I'm not this piece needs a pedestal and a moducase which is my ultimate plan next year once I get my LK Megatron. I don't even want to know how many pieces Jetform Prime is going to be.

Does anyone know if Shockwave is around the same size as the prime 1 studios Jet Power Optimus Prime maquette?
