Correct. P1 related stuff from Spec Fiction is behind around 6 months for reasons I can't get into here. It's okay I guess but the more time drags on and new stuff is shown I begin to lose interest and want to cancel. Frankly I wish P1 would just do ROTF or DOTM Soundwave so I can close up shop on this line.

Yeah I wasn?t trying to be condescending about the character. Lmao. Just the way I said. Lol.

Wow that is weird they having issues getting their stuff. I too tend to loose interest when it takes damn near over 2 years to produce this stuff. I almost cancelled this piece here. Was just gonna spend the money on something that was out now and order blackout when it was in stock.

Yeah I would order a sound wave for sure.

I know what you meant, it’s fine, no worries.

With all the increases and delays it’s hard for me not to sound blah. I knew this wasn’t going to be ready in time for New Years. P1 has a habit of doing a Transformer at a time and of course nothing got done for a month because of Chinese New Year. You all will probably get yours months before I do lol…

I think this will be a stunner and not something you’d want to have to pay more on the aftermarket especially the shipping.

$2600 multiplied by 400 units is $1,040,000.

Just got my ready to ship email on Blackoit.

They once again upped the shipping another $130. I guess no too bad but was not expecting it on this piece.


They?re giving me up to three months to make the last payment but I?m probably going to pay it off asap.


I?m building a new display as we speak with Black out and Optimus and a bunch of smaller toys around two.

This is my last Transformers Prime 1 piece. 👍

Hey chavez553, how soon do you expect to receive Blackout?

Well me and the wife are talking about it. Looks like I?ll be able to pay the shipping and last payment now and I should probably get it by end of June.

I don?t see any reason as to why they can?t have it to me by then. I don?t think there?s as much interest in this piece as say the Jungle Hunter. Only 400 made and it?s still available with no low quantity alert as of shipment.
