At least ToyHax will get the address right. I had a hassle yesterday with FedEx because they mixed up my package with that of someone who lives in Texas.
FedEx sucks, by the way.

Actually . . . this is good to know, b/c I'm in the same boat. Shipped on 12/12 and no sign of it yet.
Was looking at my Legacy G1 Optimus earlier, and it doesn't seem that the back of the truck can fold up against the back of the box part of the cab like the original could.
I bring this up because prior, I was thinking of how cool it would be if it were modified slightly to be able to make a smaller Powermaster Prime.
Buuuuut, they'd probably just want to stick closer to the original PMOP design for that, anyway...

We can only hope. That would appeal to me so much more than the lanky Masterpiece.
I’m placing even odds on Powermaster Optimus Prime with Apex Armor as being the next HasLab. Especially after “Star Optimus Prime” seemed to drop all the design references at some point.
I sincerely hope not. Like, i can see why that might be the case, and it makes sense, but regular retail only please, that's hard enough to keep up with.
The TR one comes so close. I want a chonky PMOP.

I could see them doing a Titan class God Ginrai at the same height and price of Star Optimus Prime. Maybe even a little smaller if Star OP's Armada Unicron-esque height is deemed too big.
But for now, I'm happy with both my Legends God Ginrai w/ leg stabilizers and my Primitive Skateboarding Optimus Prime.

I have a soft spot for TR PMOP because I predicted it, but it has never been good enough.
I have Legends God Ginrai, with leg stabilizers. And the PE kits for a transforming Ginrai. He looks pretty nice and has a spot in my main display case. However, he's still horribly unstable and badly in need of an update, IMO.
I actually really like his size. Victory shows him being the same size as, or slightly shorter than, Star Saber. Having him the same size as Victory Saber works really well, though. If anything, he feels a little undersized compared to anyone other than Star Saber, though not by enough to be a problem.
I think keeping an AotP God Ginrai at the same size as Victory Saber should be a good fit for Titan class. The engineering, complexity, and parts count for God Ginrai would have to go way beyond Star Convoy, so there's no way he would be the same size at the same price point.
Outside of doing him as a Titan or HasLab, I'm a little skeptical of how he would turn out. I think they could manage a good Super Ginrai as a Commander. It's God Bomber that worries me. Doing him as a Leader didn't work out real great the last time around, and I think it would be even harder to get a solid release at his size out of a modern Leader. And yet, he would be very underwhelming as a Commander. I think you almost have to have them together as a single set to have it work out well. That pretty much leaves Titan or HasLab as the only options.

I think a Leader figure for Godbomber could be solid. Just needs better execution than last time, which can be more likely if he's designed at the same time as the Super Ginrai base figure.
Could do it at the new Titan class. Core robot, trailer and Godbomber in one package. It’s comparable to the Star Convoy set in mass, maybe not complexity but they might be able to compromise enough to squeeze him in.

I don't want God Ginrai. I want Marvel Comics Powermaster Optimus Prime.
-ZacWilliam, of course I also want Marvel Comics "regular guy" scale Fort Max and Scorponok.

I want Turbomaster leader Thunder Clash.
There are dozens of us. Dozens!

Mine did finally arrive on Saturday.
Yeah, even on non-holidays it usually takes about 2 weeks or so for them to get to me.
Hm, yeah, but still more than Legacy G1 seems to be able to do.
