This is a good point, aftermarket service is a valuable and legit consideration. Other USA retailers I use also have a track record of expeditious resolution of issues.

But good callout on that with BBTS

 

White could double as toy and "scary" IDW Astro ....  




"TICKET INSPECTIONNNNNNNNN!"

 

"ALL ABOARD!"

 

Would gluing it stop the mechanism from functioning?

 

It'll be a month before I get mine. I'm good at figuring out the assembly mishaps

 

Hopefully you get yours soon, buddy. Hopefully TFSource doesn't twiddle their thumbs so I can get mine probably by the beginning of the month.

 

My guess is that i would prefer the Panda version to the Toon, but, not knowing if it is happening for sure, and even if it did, that it might be limited that i might not even be able to get at retail, well... going with 1st versions of FT now as a rule, and can always decide later on repaints.

 

This is the only FT product I've missed a preorder on since 2019. I am jealous! I hope we see more runs of him sooner rather than later.

 

In all my years with BBTS if you have a scratch or anything theyll take it back ASAP and offer refund or send you a new one if they have it with free shipping. Some other retailers are good too but have a hurdle or 2 before refund.

I do have to note that the tax and $4 shipping does suck from them since other retailers have free shipping over $150 and no tax if you don't live in that state.

 

I forgot that I had this on pre-order, and I got hit with the $207 charge today. Any good video reviews yet, idk if I’m going to keep him or not?

 

Everything is positive overall. There's a review by @Paik4Life a few pages back. Only one so far I think, too.

 

Let me know if you decide not to keep him, I'm kinda bummed I missed out on him.

 

He might let his go for $702  

 

Mine says shipped on ebay. Tenative date is the 30th of October. Hope all goes well. Also just bought a Sheridan off ebay as well. Now all I need to catch up is the Not-Stunticons, Not-Aerialbots, Not-Arcee, and Not-Brawn. Damn, I fell off on my FT orders hard. But, life really knocked me off my square from 2017 to 2019.

 

Yeah he’s great, but that matte grey also picks up a lot of fingerprints and stuff too, keep him away from the Cheetos.

 

Yes, many times over - yes! G1 toys are what I grew up with! If we can get G1 toy Thomas then I will pounce immediately. G1 so pretty:



As for the black&white version, Astrotrain isn't a panda! For evidence, compare:



Not a panda. Panda.

 

Make sure he doesn't steal your Cheetos either, at least you'll know when he does.

 

But they may choose to panda to fans that like the color scheme.

 

That weapon man! Like the acdc song, Big gun!
