    I think when this guy first went on sale, Heat Toys was selling it for 328?

    If Heat Toy is Bombusbee store on Aliexpress or at least related to them, they still have them in stock. When you search for the listing it shows $329 but when you click on it the price drops to $301 and they have changed it to free shipping unlike when I was considering buying from them before.

    They should, lol. Thank you for mentioning it, I was all set to buy one off of eBay for probably $70 more once you factor in shipping and tax. With the savings, I was able to get MP Sunstreaker.

    I just hope everything's legit. They took my money, now I'm waiting for USPS shipping information.

    So I messaged Heat Toy about the Bombusbee store on Aliexpress and Brian the supervisor replied confirming that they are in fact the same store. I know on Aliexpress they are legit with a very good reputation so those who got Thomas from Heat toy got a very good deal and should have no problems receiving it, just wish I saw that deal before buying mine.

    I think I got a little caught up in the hype of Thomas. I splurged and got 3 and now I am really thinking that is just too many. LOFL! Anyone else do the same? Seemed like a good idea at the time, but of course it labels me as a lazy collector who would rather spend more money to keep each in a different mode. I will probably need to downsize soon and sell some stuff as this hobby is starting to suffocate me and it's no fun. My fault.

    A lot of times I am tempted to get a second copy of a figure I love, but usually am able to talk myself out of it. The few times I got a second copy of something, I almost always ended up deciding that I could do without it. That said, if Thomas was available at the original retail price, I might have bit. I was certainly thinking about it with the decent price Heat Toys had it for, but ultimately I was able to hold off.:p

    If Heat Toys is out of the $279.99 versions, it looks like Terry TF Club has this dude for $300.68 (slow) shipping included. He's on sale for $309.98 plus the extra 3% off through the end of the month. I still tend to get packages in about 3 weeks, maybe 4. And the packaging has always been good with Terry (no crushed boxes yet).

    I jumped on the heatoys 279. Did anybody who did that get anything besides a sketchy-as-hell shipping number that doesn't work? Been what, 3 weeks now and the tracking doesn't work.
