    I bought a lot from AliExpress and never saw that message, I never have big problems but I go only with seller with good feedback, I used DP robot store, wish toy store and bombusbee lately and they are pretty good, the boxes comes with plastic protection on the corners and well covered.

    Sorry can't compare directly because I don't have the original but I looked at some review online and you can see the quality of the finish is not at the same level. He is quite solid and heavy anyway with a lot of diecast similar to the original.

    Just a random question here...have these KO's of Fanstoys figures been around the price that you feel is "fair" for said figure?...or are you buying them because they are just less than Fanstoys' version/reissue...
    (you is stated in the general sense in my question)

    I Think that they are fair, especially RP-44

    A triple changer for around $100 at masterpiece scale is a steal. Cyclonus was a little pricey but hey account it in with inflation and it's a solid price in my book. The justification of price all depends on each individual's spending allowance

    I hope you're willing to wait a while for it because the path TFD's packages go through have been experiencing some major delays.

    No. Robot Paradise is actually still Fanstoys. This is a KO.

    It's been about a week now since TFD shipped him and there's been no movement whatsoever. I'm starting to this this may be the reason:

    PPPPppppppt. Oh, yeah. Believe me, I know. I have ordered stuff from them recently and had to wait VERY VERY long to get the package. That's fine. They have always arrived eventually, so I'm good.

    I have ordered 4 things from them in the past 3 weeks, and I regret it more and more with each passing day.

    For me, the initial attraction was the fact that it was significantly cheaper than FansToys, but in-hand, I'm extremely happy with my MH-01 for what I paid. I've paid a lot more for a lot less, if that makes sense. (I got the BS-02 Skybreaker KO of UT Dragoon, for example, and while the paint is exceptional, the plastic is flimsy AF, and I had to do a shit-ton of fixes on him to get him functional.) Looking forward to seeing how my RP-44 turns out. I should have him in about 2-3 weeks.

    I ordered through them too but am simply not obsessing about how quick shipping is. It gets here when it gets here. :p
