    I'd buy those for sale, but the shelves can't hold the weight of more than the 6 variations I already own.

    Yeah I hate to let him go but I find myself not messing with him as much despite how cool it is.

    FOMO can hit all of us. Until the end of last year many were very willing to overspend, especially Fanstoys. It's only recently due to the current economic situation and reissues that people started buying less, be it on toys or any other hobby.

    ShowZ put their price up, does this mean we’ll be seeing him in stock in January?

    I would say so. Paid him off, so I only have to wait until ShowZ ships him.

    Just got my "pay balance" email so it's 3 week to release on average so if shipping doesn't collapse those who preordered might get him by new years

    For better or worse, this is the FT MO to undercut the competition and avoid losing future reissue sales

    - Tesla 2.0 had the extra heads announced late in production to compete with XTB Janssen's accessories
    - Quietus reissue to compete with the KO and undercut XTB's premium repaint of their Cyclonus
    - 16M to undercut XTB's upcoming very toon-appearing-and-better-alt-mode Galvatron
    - Robot Paradise Acoustic Wave reissue to compete with the KO - too little too late since no release date on the reissue and the KO's been out for a while

    But who am I to judge? about to pay off my ShowZ balance since I like his "heroic" bot mode over XTB's, and $188 is a bargain over the USA price of $240 or aftermarkets $300+

    Incoming at Bombusbee.
    $139.99 plus shipping.

    Edit: pretty hefty shipping, comes to just under $180. So not far off ShowZs 189.99.
