    This better not get delayed again, it's like when I'm really hungry but can't get anything to eat, then I lose my appetite for having to wait so damn long to get a chance (is that just me?). I know I was/is hungry so I have to make myself eat, then my appetite comes back (if that makes sense). Once I get this thing I'll be interested again, but it's like, there's times I'm like "Oh yeah, Gabriel is supposed to come out possibly this month, damn, I forgot".

    Most US stores list it at $279.99, but a few places have it a bit cheaper such as TF One Sixth at $255.99. Baba is down to only 8 items for sale, I'm a bit worried about him. I'd say it will come in a bit cheaper from China sellers.

    TF One Sixth? Who would buy from that store? With shipping to CA it's 321 dollars. It's only good for local pickup.

    Cheapest US retailer is gcitoys.com. 275 shipped.

    Wow, I did not know that. Anyways, I'm fine with the price at TCP personally, but I'll bet that ebay sellers will probably have it for around $250.

    250 will be quite acceptable.

    That had to have been an error...granted, shipping will still make it not worth choosing them over pretty much any alternative, but shipping to the midwest was $37. Expensive, but not $300 expensive.

    I bought mine a TFSource. They have that whole over $150 free shipping thing. It's the best with large purchases like that.

    I have mine pre-ordered @ TFSource also, waiting anxiously for an email any day saying it's in the stack ready to ship.

    Darn I just asked Baba about Gabriel and he asked whether I have a picture? That probably means no one's offered this to him yet.

    I asked the same question to Baba 3 months ago and he asked the same question too, so I uploaded a pic and never heard anything about it.

    Sorry, thought you said 300 for shipping alone.

    I am not sure if this has been commented, though it stands to reason that within the 155 pages of the DX9 Gabriel thread, someone would have mentioned this...

    Hopefully the word "Gabriel" can be easily removed from his neck/shoulder blade area...

    Or better yet, hopefully it only exists because the image was a test-shot, and that the word "Gabriel" will not appear at all once released.

    In all other respects, this looks like a more than adequate alternative to Terminus Giganticus, for about $100.00 bucks less than the FansToys release.

    Interesting, that's the first I've seen of his name being there. It definitely wasn't in any of the test shot reviews I've watched. Where did that pic come from? I'll probably just use some buffing compound to remove it if it ends up bothering me.

    I'm pretty sure those are stickers
