    They can't even sell out the originals. TFSource ordered too many and had to give them out as part of a promotion i.e. buy 500 worth of stuff and get this thing for FREE.

    Thanks guys. I didnt think that there were KOs out yet either, but I am thinking of grabbing a second set and I have seen that at a store that has a load of KOs listed as genuine, so I wanted to be sure.

    And they (gave them back to FP to be) redistributed. Would like them one day, but with so much else coming out I like, I'm still holding out for the war bugs.

    I'm a bit disappointed to see these go on an even lower one-day sale today after just buying them on a lesser sale a couple days ago. They must have a ton of these left over since they're selling them for only $75 today.

    Also, TFSource apparently doesn't send shipping notification emails and their Orders page doesn't provide a way to see a tracking number, so I have no idea when it shipped or when it's going to arrive.

    Have you considered emailing them and asking if you could get the new sale price, retroactively? Can't hurt to try.

    You should have received a shipping notice, but I guess it's possible their system messed up. I don't think I've ever not gotten one, out of 25 or so orders. You could just reach out and see if they can send it again.

    Really wish they had sold at least well enough to merit them making Venom. I wonder if TFSource just WAY over ordered or if demand was just that low (Though I feel like I know a lot of people who have them...)

    I decided to make my own Venom. .. even have Megatron31 casting proper colored wings for it. Should have those finished sometime soon! I even add some of the G1 labels to all of these too. I'll post new photos once the new wings come! =)

    I NEED that in my life. Hell, I'd even commission it if possible.

    They way overordered. They commissioned these when FansProject was at their prime and were the #1 third party group and way, way ahead of the competition. People were paying double and triple retail for FP stuff at the time these came out and I guess they figured these would be an instant sellout.

    Thanks for the suggestion! I emailed them and they just got back to me that they are going to credit me the difference. Very cool!
