    笨笨 = Ben Ben = Silly
    I think they gave a name that fits the character concept.
    I haven't seen the movie yet, but maybe Ben-Ben show you a bit of a goofy and clumsy side in the movie

    Regret nothing for now, except for lack of storage space and an empty wallet as you spend all your money on cubes later down the road right guys? :D 

    That’s how it starts and it snowballs down from there. ;)

    That’s the nice thing about pre-ordering from BBTS: it’s almost like having them except my walker’s full and they don’t take up any space.

    I believe JTW still has it for the same price as BBTS. I gave up on that preorder a few months ago and got it quickly from JTW.
    Lol, that's why they get derided as "Big Bad Slowstore". :D  "$4 flat rate shipping" is great if you buy in bulk and they actually ship their damn orders, but when it takes them months, or as much as a year <cough>NOCTURNE</cough> and they're not willing to extend your "Pile Of Loot" layaway until they get more of your stuff in the warehouse, then there's really not much benefit, and certainly no price advantage in that. In my case - which happened a couple of times last year – I paid more for shipping and waited far longer than should've been necessary to get my orders.

    This is the best I could find. It is a gray prototype from the Q3/Q4 2022 Product Showcase video from 52toys on YouTube. The video also discusses the design of the "space team" and how their respective transformations differ from one another.

    Yeah, I would go that route but a few months ago I canceled a bunch of TF preorders. If I cancel a bunch more (like 90% of my current preorders are Beast/Megaboxes) I'll probably get on their bad list in terms of preorder fulfillment. I figure after they get in their next big batch in I'm gonna start easing off putting in preorders with them, especially with the Amazon store now being MUCH more up-to-date with stock.

    Give their customer service a call and tell them there’s an item available elsewhere that you’ve had on preorder for months, and you’d like to cancel it but want to make sure you’re not “near a limit” and want to stay in good graces.

    I’m paraphrasing a call I had with them a couple of years ago with the same concern, but my recollection is preorder bans is for extreme cases, and that calling them to address that concern essentially showed that I was a good customer.

    I can’t guarantee that you’d have the same conversation, but one competitive edge of BBTS is they have very good customer service and they’re always easy to talk to.

    haha BENBEN is the name of robot dog in the SCI-FI movie "The Wandering Earth2".
    BenBen is also a pet name that Chinese people usually use to call pet dogs or cats. Not its literal meaning.
