    ShowZ putting preorders up for all 3 remaining FT combiner bots (there's two and bandit), either something is happening, or ShowZ really needs some cash x.x

    I already had the last two Aerialbots on preorder. Now Bandit too, so if anything else, I'm sure I will get them all.

    Based on the preorder cost, probably the latter

    Change Show.Z for FansToys and that is partially correct

    Remember Show.Z doesn't magically make up preorders specifically with such a "complex" manufacturer/brand

    If it was Fanstoys needing money, why is ShowZstore the only one taking preorders? If it were really the case, other shops would surely need to pitch in too

    Also, if that's truly the case, i would definitely NOT put my money forth because then they obviously don't have the cashflow required to keep their progress going.
    That would be a slippery slope to the edge, taking everyone's money with them

    Sites like Show.Z lock in quantities with a supplier months before release. All that happened was that Fanstoys said "We confirm you for X amount." which allowed Show.Z to throw the preorders open again.

    The high preorder deposit is a good way of making sure only serious buyers preorder, instead of nervous Nellie's who preorder at 5 different sites.

    Except it is refundable (even if as points), so what's the point?

    The situation with FansToys seem to have improved, as in they seem to have more capacity. It used to be that they have a hard cutoff, but now it looks like it's either you get it earlier or later (if you order too late).
