    just shoot him a message and maybe he will send it out. i don't think the shipping will be that crazy and it will be super fast compared to waiting on China.

    Sorry @magicube @Phrawst @lilcarus , she's sold. A fine gentleman from this very site bought her.

    I removed my post from this thread and my BST thread.

    Thanks.

    Probably soon. But even so, people still have to go running around to get the money for these 2. It seems that we'll have 3 in hand while waiting on the other 3. Still have 2 more to see though..

    Anyone who shops at TFSource for their figures, this was just posted and by the looks of it, ETA is said to be April this year..

    Just preordered the other 5 bots from ShowZ. Looking forward to this guy going into production soon. Hopefully now that the big bots are done, this comes quick.

    I think most US sellers are going to list him as almost $60. Asian storefronts might sell for less, since then you'll be the one eating the shipping rates.

    i doubt that. that link for tfscource isn't the going rate. that's just how they tax the shit out of unsuspecting customers.

    whatever it cost at showZ and china will usually be the same on this give or take 10 bucks for something like this. i got the first bot here in the states from @ToyDojo for the same price as showZ.

    RobotKingdom is quite pricey with shipping, so I'd wait for Bombusbee or ShowZ to have their prices up.

    Edit:
    Bombusbee also has: Full Price: $35.99 usd shipping fee not included, but their shipping is a bit better than RobotKingdom.
    I'm expecting $45-50 at ShowZ.

    I mean, I'm saying this with full knowledge that The Chosen Prime and Big Bad Toy Store have identical prices to TFSource. $56.99 on all three. Mini Firmament is currently $41.99 on TCP but TFSource does have him instead at $69.99 for preorder. I don't disagree that TFSource can sometimes have ridiculous prices, but in this case, I've looked around and $57 seems to be the common price across these three that I frequent, and Robot Kingdom definitely would likely add about $25 bucks to the cost for shipping, if not more, judging on the last two figures I got from them.

    well i say this as someone who actually bought one of the first figs available in the U.S. for 32 dollars. at the exact same time it was released from showZ for 30. both Toydojo and TCP had this priced identically when i bought mine. i know because i was ranting and raving about this little bot and trying to make sure all the guys scooped him up. because most of us were on the fence about it.

    the prices go up over time as items become more scarce or popular. but that doesn't change the fact that it was 32 when i walked out of the store with it here in the states.

    but it's all good we can both have our opinions on how this might end up.

    To be fair, as I recall, they did underprice Firmini, iirc, as a show of gratitude for support, did they not?

    he was priced cheap just for shits and giggles. as it wasn't really clear if he was going to be a one off or lead to the set.

    but when they looked into it and wanted to do more. the whole manufacturing world had basically flipped end over end again out there in china. so factory times got even more crazy and the cost had grown exponentially.

    which is fine if the cost goes up for the rest of these guys. Cang has shown us and proven that they can walk the walk.

    wasn't the initial cheaper price of firm-mini a promo tied to the purchase of one of the MP bots? if you had bought the MP bot (can't recall which one), you could get firm-mini at a discounted price. but logistically was a nightmare and too much work to tie each purchase with the sale. so instead the online retailers just offered the promo tied lot of stock allocated to them at the cheaper price to any/all until they sold out. once gone, restock was then listed at the regular price, with the price bump i believe was pretty nominal and an undersell, which i assume was a strategy by Cang Toys to get ppl to buy in and support the entire team.

    Yes, that was tied to MP Firmament. I think it was somewhere in one of these threads or something I read that Firmini could be purchased at a discounted price or something like that if you purchase MP Firmament. At least that's how I think I remember it..

    After seeing Emgo’s review of the full scale version, I’m pretty hyped for this team. I love their mini Divebomb; haven’t messed with it in a while, but it’s a solid figure. Gorgeous paint and box, too. Still not overly fond of the head design CT chose, but I can live with it

    Mini firmi was priced cheap because Cang Toys wanted everyone who ordered big firmi to get a discount on the mini version. ShowZ probably missed that memo and sold it for the discounted price to everybody.
