    @dalianjj I just seen a post on Facebook saying Fanstoys and other companies are in trouble with the Chinese government and superion will not be finished? Can you confirm if this is a redundant post I seen?

    How can you possibly ask this in the open forum, and what do you expect him to tell you even if it was true?

    I haven't kept track on every figure, but TFSource is the one I remember seeing the most. Stomp in particular comes to mind, but I remember seeing it for several other FT figures, including I believe the first run of Roadking. Honestly most threads I stop bothering with once it is released so my perspective could easily be askew.

    Why Not? Consumers have a right to know what they're getting into, he can pm me if he wanted to? Don't you wanna know? Here, are the last 2 aerialbots gonna get finished? Is that better?

    I hope it's not neither, I'm not asking in that comment to be an asshole, I'm asking for us the Fanstoys Fanboys, I mean wouldn't you like to know as a consumer of their aerialbots just in case it was true for some odd reason that most of us are already 3 in and now we would have to get another offering, that's why I just came out and asked.

    Agreed, I am 3 in and will still keep them either way but it would be a shame if at least the last 2 and the rest of menasor don't come out

    In the fanstoys Facebook group, one of the moderator mentioned that a retailer is finding out the real facts.

    A lot of people mentioned this is brought up multiple times every year and 3rd party should be ok as these are original designs and not copies. The ko's are the target of the government.

    I remember a few months ago I read a post this guy was saying that 3rd party won't be around soon and those buying the combiner bots won't see a finished product because they were gonna get shut down by Has/Tak and so on, so when I seen the post by the dude that does the xtb art he said he had a reliable source but I came here asking so basically Fanstoys would just be like nah it's not true, I don't believe it but alot of people are gullable I figured why not ask just to shut down the nonsense, it's no biggie, I'm sure we all know it's redundant but like I said, figured I'd ask that's all.

    Mind you if it is coming from xtb art guy..we have to take it with a grain of salt considering xtb is basically done their menasor..could be trying to slow down fans toys sales in their combiners

    @Sideswipe523 It would definitely suck if they didn't finish these off, but the first thing that came to my mind:
