    I gave in to impatience. I missed out on a $50 FP G3 Optimus trailer yesterday due to waffling too much, so that loss goes towards this!

    ActionRobo still has Revolver and even (expensive) Steel Core in stock, too... You have to pick Warbots from the FP drop-down menu to find them

    Well, they're actually sold out of revolver at the moment unfortunately. But it is a pre-sale shipment.

    Most likely, they're using what's equivalent to USPS First Class. Takes 7 to 11 days to the US. If they used EMS, it will get to the US in less than a week, but that will cost closer to $30.

    D'oh! Thanks for clarifying. Still... nice to know they'll get more for those still worrying over the lack of preorders on other sites :D

    Seems fine to me.

    I've never even heard of these guys before and they only take PayPal. No thanks. I hate having to use PayPal unless it's for stuff on eBay or something that someone's selling on the boards here.

    PayPal is a safe way to go though.. Especially with an out of country order. Easy to file a claim and get your money back in the event of an issue.

    When dealing with any seller, retail, ebay or otherwise online that you've never dealt with before, PayPal is probably the best thing to use. I'd much rather use paypal on a transaction rather than give someone my credit card information. At least I know the transaction is secure, my information is secure, and if something goes wrong I can easily get my money back.

    Anyway, I wonder if the MFB being a limited release was an Action Robo exclusive. If it was, damn glad I jumped on board, you can't have swerve without the MFB.

    I'm really excited about these figures, especially looking over the review on here. I'd love if Maketoys also did a some of the other small bots in the same style. Maybe Cybertronian Tailgate or Windcharger. That'd be cool.

    But Paypal also has protection regarding if you don't get something you paid for. Also archieBoy says they have been in business for years as he has been going to them and they have been on Facebook for a long while as well. I love using paypal cause this way I don't have to give them my credit card number. and my information is safe as well. Paypal I think is the most worry free option on the internet today to pay for something.

    That. It's also an in-stock purchase so it's highly unlikely the 45 day limit will be exceeded here. PayPal is about as safe as it gets.

    Ordered myself a set w/MFB along with an xtra MFB. Came out $67.98 + $24 (shipping) = $91.98. Not sure since I ordered the xtra MFB or that I am in Hawaii the shipping cost came out more than others...

    Most likely the extra MFB...shipping appeared to be a flat $18 to NA.

    I'm very happy with how Action Robo handled my Revolver order, so I went ahead and placed an order for these guys through them as well. Thanks for the link!
