    You said it yourself, it's available at those prices on Taobao and Ali. Don't blame it on Dr Wu that you have to pay extra. He's a Doctor, not a trans-pacific logistics expert.

    If I could nab a Roller for a dollar I'd have 50 of 'em already. I'm pretty sure that's a pre-shipping price tag.

    Aliexpress seems to be charging more than Showz after shipping costs. If anyone has a link to a shop thats offering a savings on these bots, please share.

    DUH. Of course it's the pre-shipping MSRP, but are you shipping these tiny bots separately one-by-one? The roller comes in a baggy and is less than 10g, the shipping is practically free when you throw it in a package with something larger. Even the regular sets are barely 200g and most parcel services charge the same for the first 500g onward. Seriously, if you can't take advantage of bulk shipping, reconsider who you're buying from and how you're getting your things shipped.

    And you won't buy 50 of them, that's scalping.

    My only experience with that kind of thing has been futzing with Superbuy's Shipping Calculator, and was never really impressed. I might try again.
    And it's not scalping if I plan on keeping them. I'm HOARDING them.

    I'm finding the hinge-only right elbow to be interesting compared against the ball-joint left elbow. What about the TFing is limiting that right elbow?

    If this is where the arm goes, they probably didn't want an exposed ball joint.

    While understandable, I am a little bummed about that hinged elbow, since it seems like it'll hinder cannon-pointing poses.

    Yeah, he's not gonna be able to swing it over on top of his forearm like he needs to for that full-menace pose.

    I have some Cyberverse Sharkticons on their way and am still waiting on my set of these mini bots to come in. Does anyone have some cyber sharticons and extreme warfare figures to do a size comparison? See if I wasted my $10

    Trying to make a guess of when this might be released... it looks like we saw the early prototypes of Wu's Starscream in July 2021, and that wave shipped in May. Hope we get these before April 2023!

    Who do you think the pack mate will be? Cosmos?
