A foot square and a half foot deep. Figure sizes?

So this might be a deal breaker, but Convoy himself is only slightly taller Earthrise Leader Optimus Prime at 7.08". However you get a lot more toy from the size. It's heavy with lots of diecast and thick plastic, high parts count and just enough chrome. And yet unlike a Masterpiece Transformer he doesn't feel like he's going to break if handled wrong (wouldn't want to drop it though!) they're adult figures made to be played with and taken apart.
But with the armor on both TFSource and BBTS list him at 12.6", though that's certainly to the top of the wings placing him around the size of a combiner or Commander Jetfire. Should look great in a collection.

It was originally due in March and then pushed to May (was looking forward to getting it in two weeks), but now it's coming out after Powered Convoy which makes me think they intentionally wanted to make that the first use of the armor instead of on its own. Still sucks.

There's a lot of weird shipping going on over there. Hopefully, we get what we're waiting for soon. I'm expecting Sentinel DaGarn X by the end of the month.
Speaking of Amazon Japan, the last order I got from them arrived last week and was delivered by USPS, not DHL. It actually shipped at the end of April so obviously, it was much slower than usual. Anybody else have an order from AJ ship that way?

I've had DHL packages handed off to USPS rather than them delivering it themselves before. They said my location was "too isolated" (whatever that means) despite delivering several times prior and since. The local DHL distribution center is in Boston so I'm guessing they just didn't want to travel to Maine that day for a delivery. Is it possible that's what happened here?
