    Just purchased one from them and never dealt with them before. Are they pretty good in sending stuff out?

    I was going to wait and see if I can get it cheaper but I don't feel like dealing with the wait and hoping I can time it with a ebay coupon. Thanks for posting!!

    Very true. Complete absurdity to even think that FT or any company for that matter would introduce a character as part of a combiner and then shift gears all of a sudden and say otherwise. That would be just plain stupid and a downward spiral for a company’s fan base. My two cents.

    You're welcome.
    Have fun with him.

    Most of the times, you get it within 2 weeks.
    Sometimes faster, like a week.

    We ought to start a feedback thread I suppose. That is awful as far as business practice goes.

    I don't know if any of you remember, but when I tried to order from their site in the first place, it was a complete $#itshow.

    It’s a shame that so many people are having problems with Baba. Very sorry to hear. After reading some of the bad experiences I will not be buying anything else from him. I’m locked in on the jabber purchase, but after that is complete I’ll steer clear of buying from him. Thanks for sharing.

    Hello lad n gens, I feel like I have to make a quick update. Finally transform Maverick into plane mode, and Im kinda amazed on the engineering, it's surprisingly simple and straight forward, the manual look thicc because FT actually use more panel to explain certain spot and easily skippable if you're familiar with FT stuff. The end result is just beatiful and just look at that size!!!

    Im seriously not giving FT enough credit, this figure is easily a 8 if not 9, and it grew on me so much so over the past few days. Im truly sorry FT, you did it again.

    I am sorry to hear that as the price is sweet. Honestly he sold too many copies to start with, he messed it up this time and will lose quite a few customers

    I am pissed but at the same time, I am going to be buying less from eBay anyways. Without 15% off, I think it's time to go with other sellers.

    It's over I think. Typically there would be a 15% off every 3 months or so, but last month there was nothing. Game over. Nowadays we can probably just expect 10 bucks off from FT figures by going through Chinese sellers that have their own stores or wait patiently for Taobao sellers to get their stock.

    What was the issue ordering on Baba's personal retail site? I made my pre-order on his site. Should I be concerned?

    Agree. I think the future is ebay bucks so that customers will come back for more. Kinda like a drug. LOFL. I am sure they did their homework and realized they can keep people coming back versus using the random 15% off. Oh well. I use Showz for a lot of my stuff. I looked into Taobao and it looks a little intimidating.

    Man, I feel really bad for those using Baba that got stiffed. It sucks. Not to say anything bad on him, but aside from ShowZStore, this is why I buy from US sellers. You pay more, but I know I'm getting my figure. I've used other international sellers, but after some outstanding service by Frank at ShowZ, I wouldn't buy international elsewhere. I had 2 broken parts on my Toy World Constructor and he sourced parts for me. Took time to get em, but point is he made it right, and it wasnt his fault to begin with. I highly recommend ShowZ.

    Seems like you did not get that post, but whatever. Only with all members out we can clarify this is true or not.
