They are being released in sets of 2.

Depending where you order from, you can get them shipped in box or without box (save approx. $5).

There will likely at the end be an all in one package - maybe cheaper, maybe with fixes (if required), maybe, maybe, maybe. Nobody knows yet as it's far too early to predict but it's like there will be a box set eventually.

The set of these right now is about $60-$65 loose/retail box and includes shipping, fees, etc. I'd imagine that these are available from any retailer that carried the JB Bruticus.

Not sure if waiting a month will make a difference. The JB box set went thru an early bird cheap pricing cycle that increased up until release, then sold out very quickly upon release and then went back into preorder. There was some premiums charged while ppl were waiting for a restock, but then the price settled back down after the restock was released.

Guess you just have to ask yourself how badly do you want it and how quickly you NEED it. lol...

 

Dammit. Got me thinking about getting this guy again.

 

Thanks for the reply! I did find a place to buy these. Paid just over $65 for the first set but I'll have to wait until after the CNY before it's shipped.

I've been watching the reviews as they've come out and I love what I've seen. I was planning to make another purchase this month but it sold out. Figured getting two bots for half the price of one was more fun and less draining on my wallet. XD

 

Anyone know the time frame for the second batch release?

 

Get em while you can!!!!

 

Tempting.... my taobao order will only go out after CNY maybe I should double dip lol

 

Lol! I think you have a few more hours 

 

Damn. I bit on this. Not crazy about the individual bot modes, but I love the combined mode. I like the modern take and this is a much better product and deal than a CW Devy.

 

Void. Got invoice

 

Damn, my tracking seems I have stalled. I doubt my package is going to get out of China in time  

 

My copy from tabao has arrived. But I have to leave it in office till tomorrow as I’m leaving for an appointment. Can’t bring it with me to meet my client  

 

When does the CNY start and end? I thought it had already started but I actually got an update on my order I placed yesterday.

 

It technically starts the 16th (15th EST), and lasts just over 3 weeks. The international shipping deadline for them is the 12th.

Mine was just marked shipped this morning -label created -but I don’t think it will make it out of the country in time:/

 

Got them in hand. Boy they are huge. Overall ratchets are good and tight. Plastics feels durable. Paint are be sloppy at certain places and there are “scratches” on certain parts. Overall I got it for around 38USD. I’ll certainly complete the entire set. It’s gonna be huge.

 

This morning mine was also at the "label created" stage, but I just got another update saying it got accepted at the processing facility. I'll be super impressed if they get it out!

 

Nice!!

Edit: You just prompted me to check mine, and mine says accepted as well 
Damned impressive. They are busting their humps to get stuff out before they shut down!

 

Wow, these guys looks amazing especially since it's a OS KO. Can't wait to get it... when I have enough money XD

 

Nobody wants customers to wait but at the same time, there are just certain realities. It'd be like north american customers getting bent out of shape because people took off the day off on Christmas!

 

Wow... they look fabulously massive.
With the Warbo Computron in the background there, I'm wondering if they're working on an upsize for them as well... would explain why quite a few of the Asian retailers were clearing them for cheap(er).

 

Good theory but that's Maketoys Computron in the background
