    Guys, I found a seller selling a MISB Phoenix for 229 dollars. Is it worth it?

    That's retail price so probably good to pull the trigger if you need him. I doubt you will find it cheaper

    Yeah, that's a fair price. I'm not sure if they'll do another reissue, either.

    Depends. Is it a new seller account located in China, Malaysia, or Indonesia, with low and/or questionable feedback?

    Ah ok, thanks for the replies. Looks like I will be going to the bank tomorrow

    Malaysia. Dont worry, this one is trustworthy. I usually buy my stuff from him. His shop name is J16Toys

    YES... imho. Arguably the best FT release to date. Right there with Stunticons Leader RoadKing.

    What's the seller's name? Can you post the link? Is this Ebay?

    What other FT figures are you working on stands for or have stands completed for?

    Still haven't grabbed myself one of these bad boys yet.
    To anyone that owns / owned both FT-10 and FT-10X I have a couple of questions.
    1- Without taking cost into account and purely on cosmetics which one they prefer?
    2- Is anyone happy they spent the extra on FT-10X over the original?
    Cheers!

    Cost aside the X version is better. The red parts are consistent and very well done and the pearl paint looks really nice even if its only sublte. When the light hits it has a very nice sheen.
    That said if you dont want to spend the coin the standard version is still pretty flawless.

    Idk what happens with this hobby in the future, I'm legitimately grateful that FT did this figure. That was an itch needing scratching for 30 some years and they nailed it

    I have had both and the X version is the one I like. The red paint on the backpack looks much more premium compared to the unpainted plastic on the regular release. The pearl look is nice on the X but its the red paint that makes me like it more than the original release.

    There are 2 sellers near there. Their stuff are really cheap. One is Transformers Circles and the other is J16Toys. You can look for them on Facebook

    Nice, are you there too?
    Are those retail shops or just online stores?
