    I'm not complaining, as I want the Fans Toys bugs to go along with my MMC ones, but more direct competition with Fans Toys stomping on other companies' releases of the same 'figures' may come up, as I still feel it should. But again, and every time so far, I have gotten a Fans Toys copy of a figure I already own. Apache looks amazing in car mode and the bugs I've wanted since I heard about them.

    I just checked a few retailers, and indeed they all still say May. Was wondering myself as I want to ship my stack with it included.

    So is it Apache in early May and first bug at the end of May?

    To the UK people who missed out at Omegalock, I suggest keep checking Heat Toy. They have been updating their stocks in batches, so you never know.
    £30 cheaper overall from Heat Toy too.

    It's weird. I'm seeing some places like TFSource saying there bugs are coming in September, but TCP has them staggered starting in May. I don't know if they know at this point, or if TCP is really one of the stores getting an earlier shipment. Given Fans Toys ability to get figures out quickly tho, I wouldn't be surprised if this is the case.

    Yeah, TFS Express had it starting in May too, I think TFSource has the latest date because they were selling individually and don't know the order. Also they don't get things as quick as TCP/Toy Dojo, but September is still 2 months after they're all supposed to be out.

    So the grey set will be getting another release later on, which means it wasn't as limited edition as suggested and I wonder why this was put to the test as it was.

    Don’t worry I didn’t forget but still missed out seems like it don’t save what’s in your basket while you pay so by the time you put your card details in it’s out of stock. Absolute bulls***

    I have to think that's definitely part of the reason. And I bought in on these bugs as well as Quietus but dear lord let's get something new announced.

    My guess? (Not that you or anyone should care). These are a new run (I know wearhouse finds are possible but this is a small production company whom, you would think, would count up the 5,000 or whatever they produce every new release. Also, they just happen to have equal amounts where they can sell as a set?) but they didn't fix anything and see looking for some quick cash.

    Impossible. Fanstoys went out of buisness after FT-44 Thomas. Smokey, Spindtift 2.0, and the Quietus, Springer, and insecticon reissues were all warehouse finds.

    I’m sorry if I sound like a dumb ass but why are they offering a gray chested bombshell? What is so special about that is it like an animation error from the original cartoon?

    FansToys doesn't sell that kind of toys.

    Not an "error" per say, but how he looked in the cartoon. I honestly don't understand why it garners a higher price other than, "because we wanted to".
