    You can check the Scam Advisor report on it:
    margotgibson.com Reviews | scam, legit or safe check | Scamadviser

    This came up in January on another TF site, and while I can't find anyone who's actually used the site to buy something, there was one person who said this:

    If you go to checkout, then it asks for your information over an insecure connection. I entered some burner information to see what happened next. It then offers a flat rate of $10 as the only shipping method, with Visa, Mastercard, or JCB as the only payment methods. Over an insecure connection. So even if the website itself represents a legitimate business, their web page would allow anyone to get your credit card or other information as you enter it.

    It seems like a fairly elaborate page to create for a scam. It must use some kind of algorithm to read current prices on a lot of toys and offer everything for lower than you can find it elsewhere? I found it by googling the DX9 Blitzwing, which would indeed be a steal. But in the off chance the business is for real, they need to configure their web page differently before it's safe to shop there.

    Short answer: don't recommend.

    So... Is there weapon storage in robot mode for huff? I just got him, need Piper now... Just curious of options not in the instructions... Also... Anyone have an extra card for him? The one I got was damaged, and I'd like to replace that... Thanks

    I'd be willing to part with my MIB Piper for a price.

    A warning: I've been a bone-headed pushover on my last two MP sales on this board, so it ain't gonna be anywhere near original retail.

    I have a Piper that I’d be willing to let go of, but only to trade for Huff. I had both and decided to sell one, so like a moron I of course sold the one that meant more to me and kept the one that had like two lines in two different episodes that I have no connection to.

    Yeah that’s kinda where I am, honestly. But I could be swayed. Especially considering there’s not much concrete proof that I will see him in my lifetime.

    They're slow, but their stuff does come out. If anything I would be more worried about non-core characters like skullcruncher actually coming out. They seem pretty committed to their Minibots right now

    You know honestly, they're not even that slow. Didn't they put out like six figures last year? I think it's more a matter of them just having announced so many things, and instead of putting out one of those things and announcing the next thing they have a tendency to just keep announcing things. So it seems like they're really slow, but I see that pretty fast, it's just that the pace of their Ingenuity outstrips the pace of their production capacity

    That’s true. But I really hope they take finishing the combiner pieces realllllllly slowly, and get them right. I’m not personally interested but I know a lot of people are and if FT doesn’t completely stick the landing, both in the figures/pieces and how the handle the all of the releases, it could really be a big problem for everybody.

    The alt mode design, feel and plastic tires makes BC Huff 2.0 a let down in IMO. I'm looking forward to the FT version.

    Did the Cubex version have rubber tires?

    I like the 2.0 just fine, I just think he needed way more paint apps
