Haha, Every line of this is sketchy and wrong.


1. Design was sold to a new company - nah
2. $150 plus shipping? Charging the original MSRP for a KO?
3. Limited run? Haha maybe limited by stores carrying them, KOs will sell whatever they can move.
4. If final price is lower you may get a credit? It’s at least $65 lower, where’s my credit?
5. Do not support the scalper market?

6. All purchases backed with eBay’s buyer protection policy.

 

Do they ship to the UK and if they do, do they declare to customs? I know they are a reputable retailer to be fair, known about them for years. I think I'll wait for tf-direct eventual restocks of preorders, just to be on the safe side. Thank you

 

eBay is magical. They protect buyers and sellers that scam people, but when the seller or buyer are actually wronged they don’t give a shit.

 

I haven’t ordered from them post-Brexit but previously I never got stung for customs from them and they shipped here pretty quickly.

 

Never ordered from them before- is it typical that they make you pay shipping (45) at the same time as the deposit (20)

 

I may order from them for the Cyclonus KO but I decided to go with TF Direct because it seemed weird to pay the shipping up front.

 

I just paid the $15 deposit. Didn't need to pay the shipping up front. I've never done a pre-order from them before, but I did order FT-Roadking recently and they delivered, but it was about 5 weeks coming. It did get here in good condition.

 

Actually scratch that. I was in a rush when I ordered and they did charge me the shipping upfront, dammit. Well, I've used them 3 times and they haven't screwed me.

 

I hope they KO jetfire and give him a waist swivel

 

I am interested if the silver parts are done in white or off white, hell if the price is right I would be willing to paint those parts. I will keep an eye on this.

Hopefully if nothing else it may cause Fanstoys to drop prices a bit, and maybe rethink their infuriating out of stock preorder system.

 

The PO thing is on retailers and fanboys that Have FOMO. FT isn’t really responsible for that at this point.

 

Ft is responsible for my parents getting divorced in 1979. They deserve everything they get.

 

people say that retailers are the issue
but I still remember how fanstoys itself said how limited Chomp was going to be, how we should pre-order their stuff ASAP from any retailer because they're not going to re-stock anything after Chomp, that all of their releases were going to be super limited etc etc etc
but of course western retailers are the main issue

 

Fanstoys is responsible, obviously they set the preorder limits to vendors. All other companies rarely preorder sellout instantaneously in minutes. Sure some might be fans and scalpers but at this point the proof is it’s fanstoys. Look at all the preorder reissues for Fanstoys that just materialized out of nowhere

 

See, this what will get a sale out of me. With the white kfc horrorcons on the horizon, a white lupus to go with em would be perfect...

looks like there’ll be wild colour schemes for the Lupus KO

 

Awesome, I'm just glad it's getting made.

 

I’m hoping that hot pink one has color-shifting paint. That would be cool.

 

Finally, some bathtub toys for adults!

 

Ok awesome...
