    What is this? Someone who isn't crying end of the world because 1% have a broken knee joint? Is this the next ERMAGHAD Prime's knees are exploding!!?

    I made the post about the short screws in the knees as an awareness to help out others. If you don't like that too bad. It's something that has an easy fix if it is broken or as a preventative measure. I am just aghast at how some people will gatekeep their favorite companies in this community.

    That's cool there's a fan-mode to allow the waist swivel. Too bad it looks like shit with the nose cone so high up.

    Thanks, I’d like to say I’m happy with these FansToys figures and supporting the line however in the few orders I’ve placed I’m not confidant I’ll stick around. My Blurr was missing both hip pieces, then Air Raid was missing both guns, Warpath finally came with a detached leg and finally Slag came with some wrecked hips.

    I received iceman yesterday and transformed him into jet mode today. I felt like his transformation was pretty straightforward. I fortunately didn’t have much trouble getting tabs in place. For the most part it’s pretty intuitive where the pieces go when you’re going from Robot to jet mode but it may be more difficult folding everything up for the backpack when I go back to robot mode. I’m wondering what the heck that backpack is going to do when he becomes a foot.

    That's how BBTS is most of the time when it comes to new releases. It's just something you'll have to be prepared for. If I had a gold coin for every time I've seen a similar complaint I'd have enough to swim in like Scrooge McDuck.
    TFsource is like that sometimes as well.
    The crazy part is they're supposed to be getting their new FT stock first like other NA retailers before Chinese retailers do.
    Meanwhile the Chinese seller I preordered mine from received their stock last week.

    It makes sense if they ship by sea or SAL.

    In stock nowhere in the normal US channels. I have a feeling scalpers may have bought a good amount of them...

    I transformed mine back to bot mode today to check on the panel hinges, and everything was AOK on mine. I went from jet to bot in about 5 minutes. Not as bad as the first time from bot to jet, once you know how everything folds and where it goes.

    Showz's shipping cost has been reduced to $12 for this item currently for USA delivery. Given ShowZ grand total vs BBTS' grand total (which includes sales tax plus $4 standard shipping), the price difference is under $10. But I see what you mean.
    [In Coming] FansToys FT-30B Iceman Air Raid

    ShowZ now has a new free shipping option if you're willing to wait 20-30 days for delivery (instead of the usual 10-15 days pre-pandemic).
