    We know for a fact that FT holds back stock for the Chinese retailers. I would imagine they've gotten pressure from the bigger NA retailers who are losing sales to the Chinese retailers who can otherwise get it out cheaper and faster.

    This was one figure that I didn't want at first, but then decided screw it, and waited until it arrived in stock, assuming Show.z would have stock sitting around like the other recent FT figures.

    But alas, this one had very few cancelled preorders it seems.

    BBB billed me my remaining balance like 6-7 weeks ago, and I'm still waiting. I'll be pissed if I don't get the extra faces seeing as I preordered within the first 2 days.

    Someone contacted FT and was informed that Tesla 2.0 will all be coming with all the faces in this entire first release. I believe what they meant is the bonus parts will not be included with any reissues down the road.

    Got mine today. Looks really premium. Hesitated about the final look, but decided to go for toy head and red chest plate.

    They said mid March! So they probably have their stock incoming like other stores are starting to show. Why nervous? It's not like it was shown as in stock and they're just not shipping orders. Also, the Moshow Takeda Shingen figure is still only showing as preorder status.

    You got a point there. The last time around, Baba certainly kept things "interesting" by not telling people whether they'll even get their POs fulfilled. Hopefully, this time around there won't be another cluster****.

    Oh yeah? I've seen people display theirs so I was wondering why mine hasn't been sent.

    Takeda shows instock for me and has been since I placed the order though.

    I dont see how it can show any different but my guess with the couple people that received shipping notices is they only got a few and fulfilled the first orders in line. This happens very often but for Tesla it shows as incoming with a date in the estimated arrival section as 03-2022 and they've been asked repeatedly when it's coming and they gave the same answer as the other china stores have been saying mid March. So yours hasn't been sent because they haven't gotten their actual batch for stock and it's still incoming.

    Takeda Shingen shows preorder with an unknown ETA so again I'm not sure how you are seeing any different. If you ordered when they had some in stock on feb 25th you said, that is only 5 business days as of today so that's within the range that they can take to ship. Don't get me wrong, no matter where you order something from it's great to see it get shipped within a day maybe two, but it's been common for years that these stores have a much wider period that they take to ship. I've had Bombusbee take over a week on multiple orders to give me a ship notice, but my last order was shipped within the day I ordered and was a split order with one item arriving in a week the other in 2 weeks so there are plenty of variables but nothing to be nervous about.

    Hit the doorstep yesterday. The initial promo pics had me slightly worried as I found him to be rather lanky and slightly off-looking in the proportional department. Luckily none of that applies here. Love the metallic red they used-- very bright and vibrant under daylight and looks spot-on otherwise.

    (Yes I know I forgot to flip the treads around. I just unpacked him a few hours ago and didn't even bother :rolleyes: )

    That's odd. It was in stock up until I wrote my post. Heck it shows in stock in my orders pages too.

    I suppose I shouldn't be in such a rush and just wait for them to ship when they're ready.
