    Thank you very much. I am comfortable absolutely locked in with PayPal credit zero interest. If I don't receive the product I will get my money back regardless....Win Win! Thank you!

    I wonder if FansToys realizes that this manufactured scarcity of theirs has made me completely ignore them for combiners since there's a huge chance I'll never get orders in for all the members.

    You mean this pre-order? Pre-order Transformers FansToys FT-46 FT46 Tesla Perceptor 2.0 Action figure Toy

    135 sold. And his inventory counter is off again as he's got both 27 available, yet it is also sold out.

    Although still a chance that all the Chinese International sites will eventually get more stock and be able to re-open their pre-orders. Or at least list them once they get them in-stock. Got my last FT figure from ShowZ by just happening to catch one of the extras.

    Me too. November 2020 I saw the crazy on the wall and decided to PO with baba. Here's hoping he can fulfill his pre-orders.
    Also got the Cliffjumper PO from baba just because that's about the last FT figure on the horizon I'm looking for.

    I mean this with no offense whatsoever (truly) — but I don’t think they’ll care very much. They’ll get their money either way.


    Also, wowza… the numbers just keep going up eh (the poll) — seriously asking again — if anyone truly thinks these things are harder to get than a PS5; please hit me up. Willing to trade you my pre-order(s) for a PS5(s).

    DM’s are open.

    I wasn't sure if FT-46 will come with the secondary gun, the black/red pointy one.
    I did not see it in robot pics.
    But it's there, in the 'third' mode pics.

    This kind of crap is why I walked away from collecting Bandai. Soon going to be Fans Toys. Why bother trying if you cant get in an order.

    Easier to find a PS5 than an open PO for this guy. Price is a different matter altogether. I bet you I can much easier find a way to buy a ps5 than this guy.

    Fanstoys doesn't sell directly to end users so you have no evidence this "fake scarcity" is cause by them or resellers.

    Yep. I’m slowly buying up the MMC Bruticus. They have reissued those two to three times already! It’s nice knowing I can get him at my pace. Hell at this rate the last stunticon and Arielbot will be $300.

    Please let me know.

    Rig was up for like 15 hours on TFSource before he sold out.

    TFSource still had pre-orders open for Tesla, Stomp and Soar when TCP put theirs up. Once TCP’s was sold out, TFSource was also sold out.

    And then we had numerous heads-up’s from other retailers. They eventually sold out, but not in seconds to minutes (like PS5’s) — a good 45 minutes and they were gone.

    You’ll also see more retailers listing stock this week for Tesla, Stomp and Soar.


    It doesn’t take a bot or extreme luck and extreme quickness to get one of these. I refreshed TCP’s page a few times and the whole process took about 15 minutes. I was able to snag both a Tesla and a Stomp.

    I still can not find a PS5 without extreme luck, extreme quickness or buying a bot or signing up for numerous pings-to-email/text when a retailer puts up stock (most of the time without zero notification or warning).

    I’ll say this again though, for the third time:

    Anyone who would like to send me their disc version PS5’s for a few of my pre-orders, let me know. I have TFW and eBay rep. DM’s are open.

    I was curious about ordering from TFS-Express, but does anyone know how the combined shipping works? They make you pay for the product and then shipping separately. I would hate to buy something and then get slammed with a huge shipping bill because I didnt get a heads up on the cost. Thanks

    I would hope that with these pre-orders that FT would increase the production run

    Yeah, I missed out on the first few rounds of Thomas but thankfully Baba came through and I was able to lock in a preorder with him. Oh wait, no, he cancelled my pre-order and I had to pay the $100 late tax to get Thomas at ShowZ when they got their "additional stock." (not salty with ShowZ, just Baba). So yeah, I realize it may not be Baba's fault but I'm never doing business with him again regardless.

    I stopped buying from Baba after he asked me to pay an additional $10 (due to Covid) to send me FT-42.
