    Yesterday I saw TLK again, I realized that the truck evasion mode is actually the truck mode of this figure. Is this possible?.

    Evasion Mode was only seen in TF4 AoE
    Not in TLK.

    Yes it is the same Truck Mode.

    Price for Tactical Commander has increased
    now from 70$ to 80$ at ShowZStore.

    I expect a Increase of Quality with that Price Jump. And the new Head of Course.

    If he stays below 100$ it is still okay.

    I wouldn’t expect any increase in quality, it’s a price increase that was announced a month back to combat the tariffs.

    You're right, it was AOE.
    Prices increases... is the new trend of these days.

    Yeah but i was fast with the PreOrder and Deposit. ShowZStore did not increase my Purchase Price.

    Only need to pay the old 70$.

    Price increase to 80$ is only bad for new Customers / Purchase then.

    I hope there will be an Update soon.
    I really want to see the Figure with the new Improved Head.

    And it is about time for an ESTIMATED Release Date.

    I have asked ShowZStore for an Release Date, maybe they have some more Informations.

    I hoped for an Update soon, but nothing.
    I want my damn Figure!

    Is this another Heavy Delay Unique Toy or Toyworld thing?

    The Figure is already finished god damn.
    I know they created a new Head, but that does not justify the Silence on this Project.

    I have it on Pre Order, it is nearly finished, they created the new Head, so why not Release the damn Figure already?

    I hate it when Companies remain Silent on their Product and make no Progress at all.

    This is no Super Duper 200$ Figure Project, and from what i saw in the posted preview Videos, it is a very solid good looking Figure.

    So why this Delay?
    They should just add the damn new Head
    and should start to Ship that thing out.

    Can somone ask them maybe on that Weibo Page maybe? I want to know whats going on.

    I think because there are so many orders, more than they expected, and making the new head for all of them takes lots of time.

    Black mamba makes plenty as it is and has never had to delay stuff due to orders. The most likely answer is..... its just delayed because they need time between releases. Thats the only explanation I got with their dropkick, prime, and Jetfire all releasing around the same time.

    Yeah it’s ready but just doesn’t seem to be shipping yet. Wouldn’t be surprised if they release both this prime and jazz together

    Don't forget we're fast-approaching Chinese New Year. Everything is going to start shutting down for quite some time.

    I'm just of the opinion that either they remain a budget prime and give us a clean prime, or significantly increase the price and actually put in a bunch of work into it. No half-assing it like a WFC figure with budget restrictions.

    I do agree with that, I don't want to pay over 90 for this prime.

    Yeah, I prefer BMB Aoyi stick with their normal clean version for cheap price, and another battle damage version later for ones who are willing to pay more, like they did with some of their old LS series figures.
