    Hey all,
    I just got this email from Smartlulup2010:

    "Hello, i just get a news from the factory,the factory need more 10 days to update the mould of the wheels in order to make a more perfect figure,so it will be delay more 10 days to be sent out,i am sorry for the delaying,
    it will be sent out before 2016-06-20 not 2016-06-10, thanks you."

    Just thought id let people know in case theyre waiting on this from ebay. Im cool with the delay.

    I really need to sell off my first run MP-10 so I can get this guy instead. The version with the trailer gets released in July correct?

    I was going to pass on this guy due to the slew of voyager Prime's I already have on my shelves, but I saw an ebay listing for $29.99 shipped that pulled me in. Wondering though why I'm seeing most listings at $69 or so, and this one came up at less than half that price? The description, photos, and everything else seemed legit (I thought for a second it might be an order for just the jetpack or trailer or something), but it isn't.

    That's a con, Looks like that persons account has been hijacked to be honest as it's been inactive for a year and the listing is a direct copy of the $70 auction.

    Because that was undeniably a scam. We were discussing it in the KO thread.

    CRAP. Thanks everyone... never make it over to the KO thread, so I completely missed the discussion. Guess I have to deal with this b.s. situation now... ugh.

    Got the message about the 10 day delay as well from Smartlulu. New it was coming since this had already been discussed. Least the issue will be fixed.

    That 30.00 listing Scam .... well atleast its not a $100.00 :[

    Wasn't it initially hashed out to be around 30 bucks without the trailer anyway?

    KBB customer rep told me it would be out in later July. 44 USD is a bit of overpriced, I think, 30 USD at most including shipping should do justice given that the trailer costs only 15 USD.

    TF-direct has the option of getting them separately or as a set.
    I think getting Prime now doesn't hurt. You can get the trailer later and present both at the same time.
    I ordered Prime from eBay and may get the trailer later on.

    seems like TF direct is a bit expensive/overcharging, arent they ?
