    I don't know if that'll be his price elsewhere but ShowZ have gone off the boil with their prices lately.

    It was a typo. ShowZ has adjusted the price.

    So I ordered a Dumpyard + Metallic Version and when it came the box doesn't mention it being "+" or metallic. Shouldn't it? I don't want to open it to check in case I got the wrong one. Anyone else get the metallic one who can post a picture of the box? Thanks!

    Doesn't it have the little flap you can open to look at it? I recently got the metallic also and I don't think it mentions anything on the box. You should be able to just open the window flap and see if it's metallic.

    Are the last 2 Junkions delayed? They were supposed to be out July right?

    They were but that date slipped without any mention. I'm guessing September/October is most likely now, as the Sweeps are meant to be this month's release

    Oh, good call. I forget KFC does flaps. I still can't tell though since I don't have a non-metallic one to compare it to... The box says 2016 with UPC Code of 6971791510204. Is this info consistent with the Metallic one?

    Yeah man - Plus they are charging shipping now too. That shipping charge has now started to make it worth it to buy from other vendors that have lower/closer prices and can ship must faster. I ordered some stuff from ShowZ that was shipped 7 weeks ago and still hasn't arrived.

    You should be able to tell from his upper legs on the side of the motorcycle, they're really metallic on the metal one and really flat plastic on the regular.

    here's the metal bike:

    Damn, I was hyped for the 2nd batch

    Same, I've got a Dumpyard and Gunker on order. They might even happen this month but there doesn't seem to be any mention of their delay or a new release date. I asked TFS-Express if they knew and they said straight up that they don't :p

    Thanks for the help. So the grey parts attached to the rear wheel are the upper legs? Is the grey weapon/exhaust pipe on the bottom side with the red stripes on it look comparatively like flat plastic on the metallic one?

    Yeah, the part attached to the back wheel that points upward toward the seat should be clearly metallic legs pieces

    Thanks! I think I have the metallic one. KFC couldn't print a different box for a $100? People reselling this thing will definitely have a problem with the lack of labeling...

    Including the preorder deposit, it is about $81 USD before overseas shipping to the USA.

    Nice. Close to the same price as TFS Express, but their cheapest shipping was like $45USD to the US...

    Yeah. That's where TFS Express gets you.....their shipping costs. At that point the excitement of getting a super low price from TFS Express gets snuffed out. The shipping from Taobao will be much cheaper and even cheaper if I consolidate with other items I wish to ship.
