    Here's the kicker for me, most of my TF FE Prime order was gonna be paid for with store credit as I cancelled my last order to focus on just the Prime stuff. Now it looks like I'll be having to use a contact in Canada to TRY to find what I want (Bulky, Prime, Cliff) and spend the money I'd set aside for the RID line itself.

    AKA... Thanks for cancelling the line, hence making these prices. They cannot control prices, but they can release stock to companies that had orders with them.

    Not surprised it would happen, really.

    Damn shame though, I really wanted that Bulkhead.

    Yeah, they should make more Fort Maxs too.

    Someone in another thread claimed they emailed BBTS inquiring about when their preorder would be filled. The response was that the line had been cancelled and the listings would be replaced with "new" preorders ( supposedly for the RID line ).

    If you are correct, and they sold out, then I am fine with it. Just don't think that is the case.

    Fort Max didn't have a limited release and then be cancelled. He got a full release. Not an applicable analogy.

    The point is, you can't blame secondary market prices on the producer. Things come and go, and you just have to accept that, regardless of how unfair or questionable it may seem.

    True, I am now going to look at your photos and relax.

    I better not see any FE Bulkheads in there.

    I've no interest in Bulky, but don't be surprised if an FE Prime pops up soon. ;)

    I **Love** shooting Bulkhead, but since we both have Primes coming next week, why don't we seriously just spam shit up with like 100 pics a piece?

    Man I'm not even after these figures (probably going 'con only for this line) but I still wanted to at least see them in store. So lame.

    Do you have any idea how obsessive-compulsive I am? :redface2: 

    I'm going to put some time into it tomorrow. It's so hard to make time for these things!
