    I think he’s pretty good. Those tiny little hinges attached to ball joints and the weird amount of over/under tabs are definitely not or for the course for fanstoys, and the transformation is definitely not great, but both the robot mode and the alt are so good that it’s forgivable.

    Somehow he actually mass shifts to get bigger going into alt mode, and it’s a very satisfying feeling thing once you get it there.

    This is one I didn't pre-order for some reason, so I look forward to picking up the scraps leftover in a month or so :)

    don't forget your credit card info so we can work some real magic for you;) . We'll get it straightened out real good!

    I know you got history with Baba but have you considered making a switch? The orders I've placed with him all shipped late and I've still never had word on replacement parts and get excuses. I also hear a lot of him asking for extra on the shipping when orders are ready to ship and I get why but still. He just doesn't seem to be 100% reliable like he was a few years back.

    I had to make the switch from Baba to Bombusbee. It was tough but he just flakes out too often anymore and nothing updates as in stock

    Got my Bombusbee shipping confirmation!! Can’t wait!!
    Anybody else think that their shipping is way faster than stated on their website? I ordered FT-16M Sovereign (large box) and the standard shipping time was 30-40 days by sea freight. Received it in 14 days!! Was super excited and happy.

    I got the balance email from him yesterday for Parkour as well, but I’m once again ignoring it and considering the $3 as a sunk cost. Surprisingly though this time he’s not charging more than ShowZ or BBB, which is usually why I don’t follow through on the deposits.

    He was so reliable for so long, so it sucks that it’s come to this and that we all feel this way.

    My status is "awaiting shipping," so I figure it's going to be on its way soon. Glad I checked this thread about him recently, as I was otherwise going to pay $25 more to get it from BBTS! I appreciate you all helping out your fellow collectors.

    Oh, I switched a long time ago. I am getting better prices from local sellers, so it's not like I am hurting, but I still have a bunch of deposits in the amount of 3 dollars each with him and it's adding up to 20 30 bucks.
