    I take it that means their current pre order is an old one? Shouldn't they have taken this down by now, I placed an order for Springer the same time Kup went up the other week from TFS.

    Guess I'm going to get an email then soon saying the price has changed.

    I hope they include double jointed knees and reduce the backpack a bit.

    Hahaha, I would feel comfortable paying $200 - $250 if it is *AMAZING*, $300 maybe not so much...

    Now-a-days this "redsign" is just a excuse to dishonour the pre-order and increase the price.

    Agreed, I am waiting for FansToys to redesign my Blitzwing preorders up another hundred bucks a piece.

    " we had to go back to the drawing board & totally rework portions of the price for increased profitability"

    Something tells me that "redesign" is gonna happen suspiciously quickly with an inflated price if they're sticking to their Jan 2021 release date.
    They're last to the race, if they over-price themselves, I really don't see how they'll move stock with all the recent bad blood.

    Saltus went through a rework as well, but hei, apparently one rework is more expensive than another.

    $180 at TFSource. Definitely not ideal considering he used to be at $140 with BBTS before going out of stock, but it's better than nothing I guess, haha.

    @divinecomedy Sauron back at it again...

    probably meaning it's been going through a redesign since the original pre order price and not a sudden new redesign

    Hell if a redesign means a flattened backpack so the car mode is better, I would be willing to pay a reasonable amount for this and forget about apache...

    If locke is anything to go buy any retailer trying to sell it at a reasonable price is going to get bitched at and be forced to increase the price.
