    Might need to remove Devy’s new slippers to reduce his height a fraction.

    I forgot how heavy Gabe is when taking him down from a shelf. Weighs a ton! Still a stunner of a figure.

    Looking to pick one of these up. Is ShowZ the only place with pre-orders open for this re-issue?

    Looks like Bombusbee have it on pre-order too. £300 after shipping. Is this the expected price everywhere?

    It’s less expensive at BBTS, but I have no idea what shipping to you would cost.

    Any saving would be hit with customs sadly so no point

    Shipping to Newfoundland from BBTS was $110 USD for 2 x Gabriels a year ago. They came in 2 boxes so I'd wager ~$50-$60 USD each. But they may have discounted shipping since I bought two of them.

    at least at BBTS you can let it sit in the warehouse for a couple months before you need to ship, if it spreads out the financial damage

    Man, this reminds me I have to bug tfs-express about my replacement legs. Hopefully this reissue will help me out!

    was that the cheapest option, and what did Canada Customs ding you if I may ask?

    I paid $30 CAD in customs on my masterpiece Sideswipe from BBTS ( also the last I ordered from them was XTB Breakdown which had no customs charge.) So customs seems very inconsistent. I use ShowZ for 98% of my purchases.

    It would be nice to know what ShowZ or TFDirect want for a final price for this, BBTS will be just under $300 USD shipped to Canada, looks like $40 CDN in taxes according to some customs calculator

    There were no customs charges, just HST and the shipping cost on top of the actual figure. I paid:

    Gabriel $231.76 CAD
    Shipping $70.82 CAD
    HST $34.55 CAD

    I wonder if these preorders like at BBTS are bogus preorders. This item's release date just keeps getting pushed back as each month passes. It was supposed to originally come out in September 2021 at BBTS.

    I haven't kept up with DX9 releases. Have they released products recently?

    We got Capone (Motormaster) reissued Oct 2021 & Carry (Rodimus Prime) just last month, so hopefully Gabriel/Omega Supreme is not too far off
