    I'm personally just going to chalk it up to juxtoposition.

    Beachcomber's such a zen and tranquil dude that even the world moves faster than his peaceful state of mind.

    I keep all of my boxes, doesn't matter which company, if/when I move they are safer in their boxes than in a tote.

    At the moment, baba has Showz beaten pricewise for v2/reissue Arkose and G2 Arkose.
    Baba's costs $9.11 less than ShowZ. Actually $14.11 less if you get baba's automatic $5 off for $70 spent.

    I recommend locking in your order with baba now before his stock arrives and possibly raises the price.
    I preordered G2 Flipout from baba. After it came in stock and shipped out, he raised the price by $5. So the non-preorder folks paid the $5 increase.

    is show z crazy ?? 80 dollars? dafaq... you can still get him from tfs for $69 (or less if you buy another figure along with him as shipping for 2 figures is usually 18) or as some have mentioned, you can still get him from baba for 65. GLad I preordered mine ages ago, I was not expecting the metallic paint tho, hopefully it is not too dark as I liked the lighter blue of the original.

    Bought two of the G2 through a trusted Ebay seller. Saved around thirty bucks compared to BBTS.

    The problem of FT is that you can never know the priority, I was hoping to see Skullcruncher soon but instead it looks like Stunticons or even Aerialbots and Astrotrain are all well ahead of him. May not be a one-year wait for Beachcomber. :(
