    I was able to get one from RobotKingdom. The shipping was higher of course, but I'm happy I got one. It was a complete impulse buy, but I knew I wouldn't be upset with it.

    Now is that shipping from FP end of december or shipping from kapow end of december? Remember it takes longer for everything to arrive in the uk (damn customs). That would be about right considering robot kingdom said beginning of december. Ain't RG based over there? Factor in 14 days shipping and it's the end of December

    Kapow said they were receiving the sets at the end of the month, I imagine that would mean we'll start to see our orders being shipped out from them a week or two after that.
    Robot Kingdom will be quicker as FP are based in China, so yeah I see what you mean and you're probably right.

    I was able to preorder one through TFsource. I can't wait for that set as well. I've got my SG Rodimus all ready to go!

    Personally, they can take their time. Even the end of Jan would be fine with me. Too many other things coming out...

    So it looks like Shadow Scythe and Protector will ship around the same time. And the end of the month works well because I always take that week off from work. My Roddy's need an upgrade. Yes that sounds like a Beyonce song but I digress.

    Meh.. just have to hope that someone who's tired of the Scythe will sell them at some point in the future I guess. Oh well.

    I'm fine with them taking their time. I am saving up for a new bike and I don't want to have to dip into my precious bike fund.

    They're supposed to start shipping out this week, so says their weekly newsletter.
