    It occurred to me right after posting that's what it is for. I posted while I was still in bed this morning before I could actually wake up fully look at the figure.

    Pretty sure that part was designed by @NOCV - think it was in the Shapeways store he used to have.

    I been 50/50 on getting this guy cuz he looks so badass, but also don't collect shattered glass anything sooo I been tossed up. $65 sounded enticing but ultimately at toy dojo it REALLY comes out to $77.50 after shipping.. sigh. buying in the states just isn't worth it unless you live close by and can pick up in shop. If ppl got it like that where they can dismiss $40 for every 3 figures bought, then sure. But makes more sense to buy overseas and get a 4th figure instead. I did just find this at both TerryTfsclub & baba's website for $63 shipped though so gonna flip a coin and buy off one of them, at that price it's the way to go.

    Read the text in the button at Terry’s - unless you pre-ordered none available now.

    “All the quantity are pre-ordered, do not make the purchase if you dont have a pre-order for this item”

    I started to order there several days ago and noticed…

    I don’t collect SG either but decided he’s a Decepticon I’ll name later. LOL

    Yeh, I was disappointed to see Terry was out after I finally decided I needed this.

    Maybe I need glasses though? I don't see anything about it being out of stock or only for pre-order holders at Baba's site? A message you got after adding to cart or something? I didn't go that route because his shipments have been so agonizingly slow lately. Although the Aliexpress seller I chose is being slow to even ship it, so I'm not sure there's a fast non-Dojo option since Terry is out.

    Looks like baba has 2 left in stock, doesn't say preorder. I thought they had sold out already. So yeah for free shipping that's still an option.

    I posted Toy Dojo link because it's my favorite US retailer, but yeah unless you have other stuff to buy to get free shipping then it's not the "best deal." But always a safe choice.

    I mean, if you want to get technical, the black and purple deco was actually first used in the Japanese Transformers "Henkei!" line in 2010 and its supposed to be his form when he used to work with the Decepticons before they became an army. And the black is not because he's evil but "a special layer which protects him from hazards such as unknown viruses and magnetic storms." The toy just got repurposed for the Shattered Glass line later.

    Good information to know! But still doesn't fit into my 80s g1 cartoon aesthetic whether shattered glass or japanese 2010 storylines,, but went ahead and ordered it anyways last night.

    Btw, mine has a super loose gun holding wrist on the right hand (and a moderately loose one on the left side). Like, falls right out of the arm. I'm used to Iron Factory having unreasonably tight tolerances (which this still has in spades). Glad to finally get an IF flight stand, though!

    i would hit up your retailer and ask for a replacement. i would if it were me.

    as far as flight stands go i didnt know anyone was really looking for them. they are pretty common and i think i must have like 25+ just sitting in boxes.

    As far as I can tell there's not really any at retail, or even on eBay, when I looked. Bought a few off someone on here a while back due to that.

    Looks like there's no specific Dark Cygnus thread, so this fine lad goes here now that they're out of two weeks of Pitney Bowes hell.
