    Comparing a non-transforming figure to a transforming figure is nonsensical. You can make a statue for yourself, and it will always have more potential to be 100% accurate over any transforming figure. You have two options for figures, one that is 100% accurate, and the other will be as accurate as can be.

    You could still get a better price from chinese sellers though I agree it's much more reasonable than Freedom Leader being for 260$ (almost 100$ more)

    They haven't realized they need to rip people off on that one yet. Just wait, as soon as it gets close to release it'll rise to $250, I'm sure of it :p

    No longer up, but their listing for prime is still at a solid $260 for the base version. What was the listing price for shatter?

    I see 104$, and not worth it. A premium account costs 10$ at year and gives you x3 points, but I don't buy everything on the ShowZ, you have to buy 400$ at year on products to overpass the costs of premium account, and I'm not sure if I will overpass that quantity. I usually buy on AliExpress where the prices are in most of the cases less than ShowZ (even in the same ShowZstore on Aliexpress). I like freedom :D .

    It is exactly 103,99$ with a double discount pre-order + 1% of points for regular buyers + extra 3 bucks off with their new sharing pics on social media policy.

    Which should be ~97,87$ in my case for Zeta Bee.

    Well, all I needed was around 100$ during 11/11 sale when there was x7 points or something. Now I simply have 3% discount for the rest of the year :) 

    Aliexpress is good during occasional sales but sometimes extra taxes are being charged upon me by my local customs while ShowZ always make sure to lower the package value or do some other tricks and they never let me down. Add their customer service and you have much safer place to put money on more expensive figures.

    Don't know... Three of my ShowZ packages are stuck on customs.

    Anyway, the price is the price... 104$. Not worth it for me.

    Seeing how's big the FireScorpion Optimus... I think that I have to consider to buy this Bee but I will wait a price drop, I will buy it without doubts at 80$ , but at 100$ I prefer other figures.
