    Good to know about the terms, thanks! Here's hoping it's sooner rather than later.

    I would hate that. That'd mean they'd get them in stock and start shipping to those who paid in full while the rest of us would have to get the email, then go make the payment, and only then would they ship it out. Adds at minimum a day of delay in shipping. Better to have everything all squared away before it arrives. Though I actually paid mine off when I ordered it so I guess it doesn't matter to me.

    in the old days it was almost illegal to charge for something before shipping...at least thats what i grew up thinking. I wish they'd just charge the card on file when they ship. nice and clean. those wanting to pay with paypal could get invoiced a day or two before and it'd be fine. I just think February is still 10 days away and they started invoicing people 2 days ago... doesn't bother me too much but its just like...you know, principle.

    I prefer to pay up front or be invoiced. That way I don't forget and wind up with charges showing up on PayPal that I don't remember making. ShowZ does this best imo: you can make a deposit or pay the whole thing off. If you haven't paid it off when it's almost in stock, they notify you and give you 14 days to pay or cancel.

    A lot of payment gateways only give you like a week to charge an authorization. Using one that stores card info is less common, and far more expensive.

    That's why most smaller stores can't just charge a card on file.

    That’s so cool that FT is including that power screwdriver! So much better than Takara.

    Bobby Calavera will mention in his review how much presence this figure has on the shelf. Calling it now.
