    I got a similar email from them saying that the promotion price is only for Malaysian.that really sucks but I'm quite comfortable ordering from Tony as well.

    Snarl was the only g1 dinobot i actually owned and my freakin cousin broke his gold tail off in about 5 minutes... I have still not forgiven him. Ft, please help me find solace.

    any idea of why ordering from BBTS will get hit by the duty and custom charge but ordering from TFSource will not?

    I am planning to order something else. not sure where i should order it from BBTS or TFSourse

    thanks

    removed....

    will send you a pm shortly as you are Canadian like myself, and you need to hear about Taxes / Duty ;) 

    By the way, BBTS has a reputation for great customer service (maybe best). But this is FT we are talking about ;)

    thanks Yeled, even though the promotional price is only for Malaysians, if shipping was around $30 it would still be significantly less then any other retailer. I guess we have to just wait and see...I'm just not sure when they'll have an update.

    Wow screaming face! I revoke any prior criticism this thing is fantastic. It could be QuakeWave purple and I would buy two.

    So... sorry guys, X2Otoys offer it seems its only for Malaysians, althoug they dont say this in the whole reservation proccess... The good news is that the web seems very legit, as I have recieved the email saying me that and a total refund from Paypal at the same time.

    Chimungmung, here we go!!! (I preffer it to be honest, i feel safer)

    Seems like X20 didn't like the extra business. Anyway sorry for having your hopes up.

    After looking at the dino modes again, and remembering that this is the best mode and most seen in the cartoon, i think maybe Toon colors is not so bad afterall. The reason being i dont think i would like the whole head of Slag being transparent material such as the Toys were. It works on Grimlock cause it was just the neck, but for the rest, where it is the whole head that is transparent, not really digging it. Yes, in Robot mode, i preffer the Toon colors, but just dont like the transparent material for the Dino heads for Toy colors. So my ideal would have been a mix, where no transparent heads would be used in dino mode for the Toy color, but that wont be a popular demand i think, thus i am more open to Toon colors right now ;)

    If I was making Slag I'd make the Dino-mode head the shiny gold that MP08 Grimlock has on his chest.

    EDIT: If they do the transparent they just need to make sure the plastic is much thinner than it was on the G1 toy. The yellow/gold underneath should be very prominent.

    and deposited at Chimungmung. The 30 now will make the rest of the payment a little easier later.

    That is a great idea, or the Chrome Gold on Grimlock's claws. Not sure which i preffer, would have to see pics, but i am excited to see the painted version and which way FT goes. I have the transparent gun on Quakewave again, but, i just prefer gold for Slags head instead of transparent. But that is just me.

    I think I'll need another Detolf just to set aside spaces for the Dinobots

    Sorry to ask guys as I am sure it's been covered but I am running out of room and was wondering if anyone knows what would make a great display shelf? If it's a detolf, then is Ebay the place to get it or somewhere else?
