    A couple dinos from Five Two's Ali just landed.

    I've only handled them just enough for this pic, but I'll mirror someone else's comment on Sigma's shades of Jawbreaker. Could definitely use a little more wiggle and waggle in the neck and tail. So far I'm very happy with the in hand feel and colors. Bunny Dio is pretty snazzy as well. Excited to check out the new spacer.

    I have a question for those here. How much does a beastbix figure cost? I have no clue if the stuff on Amazon is a good deal or not

    It's a little more expensive than usual on amazon, but if you have prime it'll arrive quicker than other sites.

    You also can't get bonuses there. On the other hand, occasionally rare things like meltdown will show up there. It's a nice selection and I personally use Amazon as my distributor, but there are better ones out there like joytoyworld

    Depending on the figure, prices range from 25-30 across various retailers. There are occasional sales down to about $20. These would be prices without bonus items. The other line, called MegaBox, tends to cost about $10 more per figure.

    $25ish on the low end for most. Up to $34 for a few like the chameleon. Some have bonus items making the price closer to $40. Double figure sets are around $45-50. Basically $27 each is a good price. If you have Amazon Prime you get it lightning fast and free shipping.

    If you ar looking to get into them, find a set you like that is $25 and try it. I suggest White Noise the owl. Awesome figure. Or the dinosaur ones are supposedly good. My first one of that one should be here tomorrow.

    I hope they put up Shredder and Benben soon, due to licensing issues I doubt those will be available from US retailers...

    Pretty sure the Turtles boxes are officially licensed, so there'd likely not be an issue there. Can't imagine there'd be many issues bringing over a The Wandering Earth 2 toy, either.

    While I wait for Endymion to show up on HLJ/Amiami for pre-order, I've got a 2nd Actaeon ready to ship! hehe

    Also.. Has anyone ever thought about making a custom display / transporter for their beastBoxes / MegaBoxes? I was kinda pondering it, as my current kitbash project is coming to an end..

    To be honest, I dont have a clue, but I'm aiming to fit maybe 4 of the box chargers inside it (if I go with a transporter kitbash idea). To make things fairly easier -and cheaper - for myself, I was thinking of foamboard as a base building material..

    Oh no, they're officially licensed, but licensing sometimes only work for certain countries/regions, as Foxracing's said. Given the lack of stores like Amazon or BBTS offering them, it's highly likely they aren't licensed for US production, just like the Marvel Infinity War Megaboxes (you'll notice BBTS never had those for sale, and Amazon's only got the boxes for Thanos, Iron Man, and Hulk, not the toys themselves). Likewise, with The Wandering Earth 2, I doubt that movie will be made for domestic (US) release, so why would they bother releasing it here?

    It was available for pre-order at Gundamit, but pre-orders are currently sold out.

    As much as I love that picture, I am disappointed there are no marshmallow chicks in it.
