    Gerrutcamaro still has preorders available.
    It's a Dutch store so it'll cost you in shipping and customs.

    Bummer!

    baba has a chat feature on his site. It might be worth a shot to message him about it.

    What's this service charge?

    And his free shipping option (not the hold it option) is pretty fast, at least according to my experience last month on an order and a couple other folks I've seen lately. Mine arrived to the USA less than 2 weeks. ShowZ needs whatever shipping service Baba is using.

    Hmm I'm not sure, I just checked my receipt and didn't get that charge.

    Did you use any coupons?
    What shipping option did you select?

    I used coupons, discounts, etc on Baba, knocking off $30 and no service charge. Sounds like a "let's slip a few bucks into the billing, see what sticks". Maybe Baba's billing is done by cable companies or cellphone companies.

    Yeah, seems weird. I didn't use any coupons but somehow I got a 3% discount. I used epacket shipping plus insurance. No service charge though.

    I go with epacket shipping. I'd rather save on spending $23 extra for shipping. I also I declined shipping insurance fee as usual as I've never had a need for it. In any case I've emailed baba about it so I'll wait and see.

    I’ve spent a lot of money with Baba and he is as trustworthy as they come. But his purchase methods have too many moving parts for my liking. I just can’t anymore.

    For 10 to 15 percent discounts, I am happy to do some extra clicking.

    Same here. It's not like it's difficult to do or anything. The less clicking you do the more you pay.

    Got my refund from potential scammer on AliExpress and went to Babas site....sold out. Ugh. This is the worst experience I’ve ever had trying to get a preorder for a 3rd party TF ever. Had one locked up for a long time with Eyou (Sarah) and then got the rug pulled. And of course it’s the one figure I’ve been waiting for forever.
