As far as I've learned, as a fan of both gundam and transformers, transformers only fans have a very strange animosity towards gundam. I remember hearing a bunch of transformers only fans who don't watch anime, talking about gundam and that was like hearing a bunch of folks trying to sound like experts despite not knowing what they're talking about. In other words, they're full of crap.  

 

Agree 100%

 

Wow, these guys are doing an amazing job

 

It’s only 21cm tall?

 

$463 shipped to Italy, and then there are customs. I don't know if D4toys marks down the value or they declare the full price, but in the worst case we care talking about $580-590. It's starting to be a bit too much, I need to see if ShowZ or Kapow are going to carry this figure and can offer a better deal.

 

Let me help you with that Lex79.

D4Toys will declare lower value of your package or any value you say, mark it as a plastic toy, gift or whatever.

As shipping goes, for payment process, select FedEx as the shipping method. Add comments about your order “Use Air Parcel”. The over charge of shipping fee will return to you by PayPal once the
product dispatched.

The estimated shipping fee by HK Post Air Parcel should be around USD$45 to Italy.

So say you get cleared by customs, best case scenario would be ~USD$430.

Hope that helps.

 

That's actually very helpful, thanks!

 

I am moving end of the month, if the preorder is still available next month, I think I might jump in.

 

For some reason this Star Saber reallllly triggered a Metal Build vibe for me in a way none of the other Flame Toys stuff has.

I'm a huge fan of Star Saber growing up, this is soooo tempting! He look awesome! Wow! I just can't afford it   $83 USD to shipped on my country

 

Damn, he looks good! I'm a huge fan of Star Saber, let alone gundams.

But that price plus $83 USD to ship to NZ, ouch.....

I guess this will be a pass.

 

I reckon price of this piece is only going to get worse.

TJDetweiler13 contact D4Toys on how much is shipping via Air Parcel to NZ. Like i said, they will front you the difference.

 

Thanks will do and try that!

 

That thing is gorgeous.

 

Preorder is up for TFSource. $449.99
Transformers - Flame Toys #03 Star Saber


Yeah nuh-huh my interest just died so I'm sticking with Planet X's Kadmos.
Planet X PX-C02 Kadmos (IDW Star Saber)

 

Someone in the Flame Toys Tarn thread mentioned about the poor QC on his Drift and Tarn. Perhaps he drew the short straw twice, but nobody has actually said anything to the contrary. For 450, I expect to not receive something that becomes floppy within a week.

 

What happened to the preorder discounts? $450 for this is a no-go for me no matter how pretty it is. Whelp.....Planet X here I come.

 

For the same reason some people don't like IDW or bayformers... Some people just want their transformers to be blocky forever...

 

Yeah I like G1,but IDW is just... soooo much better lol

 

Me too! I like G1, BW, IDW and the poor misunderstood bayformers lol
