    I'll second Agabyss. I tried them after WJ recommended them during a sale conversation we were having. They get their stuff early and not only do they have free shipping on items over 150, but they've always shipped mine with two day delivery via FedEx. Chomp was too spendy an FT for my taste but they've done right by me on my last few FT orders as well as on a Double Evil. I cancelled my SS and bugs POs just to move them over to Agabyss. If I'm able to I'll be dumping my Huffer PO to switch over to them as well.

    The alt mode might not be real-world accurate, but it's a great representation of the original G1 truck it's trying to imitate. Like I've said before, I don't care much for the cartoon-accurate aesthetic, but if not for that face I might buy Rig anyway.

    I don't have a Huffer as the problems and some aesthetics with previous releases kept me away, but I do have an order in for Rig. At first I was thrown off with the shoulders, but I forgotten how crappy the toy and cartoon were. Rig is the accurate Huffer we have. At least he will look different on the shelf.

    For those still looking, there's several Rigs still on preorder on Taobao (I've counted 45 just now).

    If they hadn't enlarged the eyes from the face sculpt in the proto pictures and it was matt pale grey/white not chrome silver, I'd be all over this.

    Hate it when they mess around with the face sculpt of a prototype that works fine as is! (Willis excepted.)

    Shame.

    I tried registering on Bombusbee but it says that the administrator has to approve my account. I contacted them multiple times to approve it and never got l any response. What do I have to do to get approved? It’s so weird to me.

    Was referring to contacting them and let them know your issue. Also, you can try using a different browser.

    Do we have any newer images of this guy? I'm still trying to decide between this and Huff.

    Given FT's recent history we probably will not see any more new pictures until it is released. There is a chance (not a big one) he may show up in pictures with another figure. In the past they have reliably shown up at TFCons, but they missed last October so who knows if they will have new pictures there or not.
