    Yeah, it's very annoying indeed - still a problem on mine and I need to fix it. I love him otherwise though!

    Did this actually go up? If not, it might be a bad sign for the rest of the BBTS FT-44 preorders...

    Someone probably sniped it. If you mean the cost, I have no idea. It was still $210 when I cancelled it.

    What I meant was, if they didn't put the cancelled order back up for purchase, then they might be expecting to never receive their shipment and fulfill all the other pre-orders

    Sixo, a question—I freakin love your reviews, both written and video, but I’m curious...you start off every video saying, “My name is Sixo, but more on that later...”

    Are you ever gonna give us more on that? :lol

    Surely that's to maintain an air of mystery?

    I had the same question, but then I realized I think his contact info (twitter, photos, site etc) at the end is the "more on that later!" He does sell it like he's about to start an only fans or something though, maybe he's keeping options open!

    OR, they have a special algorithm for "hot" items to not put it back to regular MSRP.

    I mean really, think about it. Why sell this at retail if they can get $200 more easily?

    Not saying that will happen with existing PO's, BBTS is legit. But "extra" stock? Fair game.

    I personally at this point believe if ANYTHING, it may have something to do with at least one of our ports. Thanks to @DashCourageous for bringing it up in a thread of it's own.

    Interesting. Maybe that's why my TW Devastator has been in limbo at LAX for the past 20 days.

    He does actually tell you what the name is all about in every video but you need to run it through a metallic filter to hear it...

    The face sculpt looks top notch and exactly how I pictured AstroTrain. I love how they replicate the G1 designs but make it more mature aesthetically.

    Got mine today, courtesy of board member @Knightdramon . I like him but I'm definitely not going to be transforming him much thanks to the paint wear on the tabs in front of his crotch and those bloody chest panels. What were they thinking, using screws and not pins to hold them on?!?!?!
