@mage Deluxe is the “standard” scale of TF – hangon, let me see if i have a shot of one next to something for scale….

Here we go. the three to the right are Deluxe scale if that helps 🙂

As for Transformers Gunpla, there have been a few kits attempted, and there is a recent kit of Optimus that looks stunning but this is purely for a robot-mode. The sort of stress even a modest transformation puts on joints needs additional materials that would make engineering and cost excessive (for example the Macross veritech kit I built a few months ago I’ve still not changed out of jet mode for fear of the parts snapping).

Yeah, I trust HLJ. I’ve been buying off them for years. You just need to appreciate that international shipping has appropriate costs and you are likely to get a customs bill to pay. To date though they have never failed to ship something I’ve ordered and their customer service have been very helpful on the few occasions I’ve needed to get in touch.
