    They are all good for something. With TFSource you can get "mint box" after the item is released, whereas you can only do "collector's grade" with BBTS on preorders. And I tend to like the C9 option for collectables.

    I've never cancelled on TFSource, whereas I do more of my preorder shopping with BBTS, where you can cancel and move around and change your mind and they don't really care. They must figure they are going to sell the stuff one way or the other.

    So, it depends on what you are trying to do. I pretty much buy from all of them tho, but I do the most preordering with BBTS.

    As it turns out, I went with everyone but BBTS for Kronos, because of the shipping. I got free shipping with TFsource, ToyDojo, and ChosenPrime, that was a big factor this time around.

    Almost 30 years in the making and we are finally getting a legit looking Skyfire. I remember being a kid and being disappointed that the toy didn't look like the cartoon character.

    Yup. But all the toys were like that. Very few looked like the cartoon characters. The toon was was created after and around the toys.

    Anyway, I share your excitement for this. :)

    And despite being disappointed as a child that the cartoon didn't look like my toy, I'm happy for both of you. The toon fandom needs their itch scratched, and Arafat seems to have done well.

    Now on to Titan! And then hopefully a third party toy accurate MP, since those Bandai prices for the 1/48 scale are just murder atm, not to mention having to aftermarket customize. (If anyone's aware of any upcoming 1/48 or larger scale VF-1S Hikaru releases or KOs, please let me know)

    Enjoy folks!

    I'm have to wait to see pictures from board member to see if I get this guy. I hope FT reveals theirs sooner than later so I know if I should pick this guy up before he sells out.
