had a look again in GP's FB page..they did not mention anything about any extras for POs..

 

Count me in as bummed about no visor. That's my preferred look for Swoop. But, he still looks fan-friggin'-tastic and I can't wait for him.

 

Baba just put red and blue chrome up for $155 with free shipping. If there is a flash sale, that would be the cheapest I’ve seen. I already preordered awhile ago from TFDirect (which ended up being $160), but I think I’ll keep an eye on eBay for a sale and maybe cancel.

 

I’ve save one from baba too. But I noticed the pic didn’t show the flame effects as a bonus for preorder?

 

Check out Showz. He has them listed for $149 shipped. And Kudos to Showz. Their service is rock solid. I needed a spare MP36 hand and he had one and I picked it up from him for $5 shipped. And it was shipped lightning quick. This guy IS ALL ABOUT GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE. Period. I placed orders for the blue and red chrome. I am SUPA DUPA excited to get this fella. I see a lot of concern over the accessories, but it is what it is and as a seller they can pretty much market it how they see fit. I know if I get a bot that has items I will never use they typically go in the closet for a short time then I will I'll just throw them up for sale. If it's one of those accessories that is a limited run for the first release of this guy then those who don't care for it can always sell it later on down the line as I am sure people will want it. While I may not use it a lot for Gaudenter I am sure I can find use for the spot lights in my custom diorama backgrounds.
My two cents.

 

For people in the UK, TFS-Express has just put their Giga Swoop pre-orders live but only the blue versions so far.

HQ-05R Gaudenter - Chrome Blue
GigaPower Gigasaurs HQ-05R Gaudenter - Chrome Version

HQ-05 Gaudenter - Metallic Blue
GigaPower Gigasaurs HQ-05 Gaudenter - Metallic Version

They are £124.99 each including postage.


But they also have a new warehouse service where they send the item direct from China (3 day delivery) but you might be liable for customs fees.

These work out as £75 each including postage.

I'd emailed them when the links went up to confirm the colour (the listing originally didn't say either way) - I've dropped them another message asking if they'll be getting the red chrome version in at all, so I'll post any reply. Fingers crossed they are getting in the red version.

Got to say that I'm pretty happy with the price, having expected closer to the 150 mark for some reason - I'd have been tempted to chance the import version if I wasn't so desperate to receive him  

 

It's not free shipping to CANADA it's $60 US for shipping and $155 US for Swoop... To the USA it's free shipping... Might have to email him and ask why...

 

Hopefully they get the red version up for order soon.
I just assumed when a company ordered they would get half of each, rather than having to order supplies of both colours separately. I Hope minimum order levels didn't make it more complicated for smaller companies.

 

LED lamp on GP’s Weibo page.

Mute the audio!  

 

I dig it.

 

Does the spotlight have some relevance that I'm missing? Or is it just a spotlight?

 

He did that for the WJ Omega Drone as well during the last eBay flash sale. I’m just buying more from ShowZ instead. Equivalent price for the same items. Free shipping too.

 

I will be having a very Dino XMas. This and the new improved Guttur. Yum!!!

 

It will

I agree!! Santa will be good to me this year! YAY!!

 

Not good news I'm afraid - just had the reply & TFS Express (UK) aren't planning on stocking the red version, citing low demand  

 

Sorry guys, the earliest release of these 4 options will be this Dec, the blue metallic probably will be the first release, if we receive many requests before the release, we will open the preorder  

 

Flame effects are for the metallic version only.

 

dont they mark stuff as gifts/ quote a lower price ? I'm in the UK and havn't used them yet, but at £80 I definitely want to give them a try

Also are you sure its free shipping ? I go to check

okey so I just checked and its NOT 75 including postage lol, if you log on it will give you a quote of how much it will be to ship to your address and to the UK its an extra $44 :/

 

If you're getting chrome red too then you can count me in for a pre order. Let me know.
