    @ Muton: Well I had the Buy Now option that appeared at 12:15 GMT and I must admit I was quite surprised.

    @ Shankweather: Same thing there indeed.

    Mine is unclaimed too. But Unbox know I got one - so I am guessing its OK.

    Same for me: Buy It Now option appeared at around 13:15 BST, which is 12:15GMT, so nearly an hour earlier than the publicized 13:00GMT. Thank goodness teh hardcore got up an hour earlier. Reminded me of getting up at weird times a few years ago to score toys. So awesome if u score, bit of a bummer if you dont AND got up early to try...but better than no trying at all :)

    Just got them in the mail today.
    Pretty fast, seeing how they shipped on Monday from Hong Kong.

    i should post these here in addition to the show-off thread. i've already been caught at work a couple of times having them battle it out (they haven't met greasebat yet, however). and very quick shipping indeed...dan from unbox indicated they would be posted on monday, but that's when they arrived at my desk. great packaging too...custom cut foam core. great stuff jeff!

    I'm glad to hear they were well packaged, I was a tad concerned they may just be thrown in a box. But, Unbox Industries has been top notch professional, so my fears were unsubstantiated.

    I have to say these were the best packed package I have ever received from China or Japan. It was almost too good.

    Is the vinyl yellow-gold or is it painted? If it isn't painted man do I want a blank set.

    It's hard for photos to do justice to how blindingly bright the metallic colors are -- they look great in photos, but even better in hand. And, like others have said, the packaging was amazing -- you could kick the box across the room without fear of damaging the toys. (Not that I'd try.) Five layers of foam with two carefully cut cavities. Greasebat, here we come!

    thanks guys, there are about 6 or 7 more color schemes for release and a bunch of blanks, then that's it.

    It probably should've been in your hands by now. Send a message to Dan at unboxinfo@gmail.com I know the shipping guys were doing this for the first time so there may be some bugs. If you get no response let me know here or at greasebat@gmail.com. We'll get you squared away.

    Thanks for the purchase!

    Thanks Jeff! My mailman dropped 'm off just now :D Friendly mosters rule. They are a bit smaller than I expected, but I think this medium size works perfect. And what is that smell? Great addition to my collection in size, smell and friendly look!
