Signature Guidelines
We all like to show off a bit, but most of us don't like to have to scroll through a huge signature. So we've established some guidelines!
• Physical dimensions of your signature - 500pixels W x 375pixels H OR 375pixels H x 500pixels W - You can go smaller, but nothing larger. (e.g. 500px x 400px or 400px x 500px)
• Filesize of an image in your signature cannot exceed 100k
• Youtube videos are permitted to be used in your signature
Only ONE image OR video is permitted in your signature

That's strange. Another mod stated the same and offered to edit my sig with a smaller one. They said they've done the same with other people's sigs. I have permission and assumed it had been edited?
Is there anyway to check if it was edited?

The logs only go back so far.
GIF's are notoriously hard (near impossible) to get under the file size limit. And yeah, even in this day and age that file limit still needs to be in place, primarily for those on mobile devices or anyone connected to the internet in Australia.

It's scaled. Not sure what browser you're using but Firefox says otherwise.
It's also 6 times over the file size limit.

So as a non-Google Chrome user I'm surprised that something simple as Image info needs an extension.
So I tried both "View Image Info (properties)" and "Image Size Info" and both tell me what Firefox told me. So again, no idea what's up with your system.

Still exceeds the file size limit.

If not, may I suggest a new thread, devoted entirely to me? You can call it "Pandering to Primal's Purile Picture"...

You're better off abandoning GIFs as a sig pic. (Even your replacement still exceeds the 100k file limit)
I could fix it, but that fix is me removing the image entirely.
That's the last thing I'm going to say on the matter, the thread has been derailed enough.

Megatron's "I would have waited an eternity for this" face is kinda spooky and unnerving! I love it!

If the majority of sites are required to do the plug, then I guess I won't feel like I got the "altered version".

I know of one American retailer that will try to not go with the orange plug.

Just spoke with the owner of The Chosen Prime; he said that if it doesn't come from the factory itself, they're not going to do it. I guess it varies on which retailer you import it from.

Out of curiosity what is the all-in price from amazon jp?

As of right now it's $180.69 since it's Amazon I have a pre-order guarantee which means the price could go down. That happened with Leo Prime.

I think the price is rather due to the high parts count necessary for the transformation.

Same here So it'll probably be May till I get Megs. Oh well, I prefer to wait a little longer and save on shipping

Even sal parcel seems to be slow. Saved on it instead of EMS

Blow dryer but carefully. Don't use solvents on the adhesive.

It had better look better, the one on the left is a hand painted prototype and the one on the right is the final product. Though honestly I think the final figure looks a little worse, but it probably isn't a good idea to judge based on a low quality video.
Ravage XK wrote:They are going to drop the figure? As in cancel or actually drop it?
Why would they announce that they're going to cancel it next month? Is "drop" not slang for "release" in the UK?

The placement of the barrel on his back.
Unless it's just the angle, there appears to be a hinge that allows you to position the barrel closer to his back and further away from behind his shoulder.
Edit: definitely not the camera angle, the barrel is adjustable.
Compare the stock factory position vs how it looks out of the box:
Yay!

I'm talking about this new one. Do I cancel mu preorder, or go on and get it. I'll get it shipped from HLJ for about 200, and I figure I could easily turn around and sell it on eBay for at least 250.
Secisions, decisions.
