    I'm a little surprised (note little) at those of us who got a shipping notice from Showz on this, as I think it never went to incoming or instock and some people just got that special stash? Also not me :p

    Frank said today: "We have some shipping issues with the NBK rifle, there is a battery in the head sculpt and might got returned. Right now we are testing a new shipping service to see if it works."

    The more expensive one is some exclusive one so it’s harder to get, so there’s the price.

    I wasn’t aware of this figure until 30 minutes ago … took a gamble on AliExpress with an estimated Dec 13th delivery date. I’ve had good luck on my first 2 AliExpress orders, so fingers crossed on this one. Went for the blue and white, slightly cheaper and kinda looks like Cybertron Metroplex.

    I ordered the green one from TF Direct expecting it to ship any time now, I bought it for $93. Instead of a shipping notice though, I received an email asking for another $50 for them to ship it, if not they'll just hold it until some indefinite date when it costs less to ship. From what I understood the price was closer $60 originally and I just guessed that the extra bump in price was TF Direct/ShowZStore lowkey covering the shipping size of this thing. Another $50 would make this thing $143 which would make this thing way too expensive, I'm not sure what to do about it.

    Why did you mention ShowZ? ShowZ will always honors the price you bought it for and will eat up the loss.

    I've heard only bad things about tfdirect. Maybe try tfsafari and showzstore if you want way less expensive products and less shady business.

    Unless you're not from the US then I apologize and ignore everything I said lol.

    I am not sure why you are throwing Showz into this, they always honor their price. I have never had issues with them, and they are only $10 more expensive the BBTS which would only benefit you if you lived in the US which I do not.

    ShowZ once saved my son from drowning in lava. They literally delivered presents one year when Santa fell critically ill. What you have said is unconscionable.

    I mentioned ShowZStore as an example of other stores, which seem to be aimed at selling towards English speaking areas outside China, that are selling it for a higher price that I in part guessed has to do with them pricing it with the higher individual shipping cost for a large item in mind. I didn't say ShowZStore did anything wrong, I just had them as a possible example in my original post of someone who might be using the same pricing structure on this item which makes TF Direct asking me for another $50 strange when ShowZStore doesn't seem to be doing that.

    My last order from ShowZ took pretty much 3 weeks to the day to get to Aus. Since he's shipping in 'bot form there shouldn't be an issue.

    Yup. Mine's on the way as well. Went with the Blue/White after all.

    Don't tempt me. Lol. But I think it's gonna be way too big to fit in my review space.
