    A bit disappointed that he seems to have gone offline again before answering the important questions like the remaining figures' ETAs and the number of trailers that have been asked for weeks and were re-asked within a couple minutes of his active posts. We've been hoping for clarity on these items for months now. He comes in and reads some of the thread, responds to nonsense about yams, but doesn't offer anything we really wanted to know. :(

    Don't panic. Not everybody has time to sit around reading this site all day ....like me :oops: . He probably just did a quick drive by and then had other things to do. I'm sure we'll be hearing more from him soon. That's usually his pattern - show up for a few days and then gone for a while until he's got something else to say. I seriously doubt he decided to drop by for a few minutes and then leave for months again.

    I think it's safe to say that nobody has been more worked up over the "two trailer" and "how much will it all cost" issues than I have. If he says there's only one trailer, that's a relief. I'd still like some answers on price but let's be honest - that announcement isn't going to happen in a thread on some fansite - we'll be seeing it on retailer sites when the pre-orders go live. What I hope we hear from @ibot is some information on when the remaining bots can be expected and/or when we might expect to see pre-orders with final pricing go up.

    Personally I'm thankful for the new glimpse of Gravestone's face, the tidbit of info about the remaining cars, and the 'not too long' reference to more pics of Gravestone.

    Way better than no info at all.

    I am just glad that keith sees the potential market in sweet-tasting tubers.
    3rd party companies will beat you at your own game, sadly. Soon, KFC will have release some product named 'Mr Kartofel', and you will realise you are too late :banghead:

    Actually, he is here to help us. How else can we get customer service? He’s here to get our feedback. The one thing I will not deny about this company is their customer service. It is hands down awesome. Try to use more constructive wording versus aggression with him. I speak from experience when I say that ibot cares. It’s why their QC has also improved significantly

    English is not also Ibot's 1st language… So sometimes things aren't worded 100% correct or fluffed up with lots of adjectives and adverbs.
    He's short and to the point.

    Cut the dude some slack.
    I for one am thrilled he comes to these boards to give us anything at all.
    Hell, over the years, there have been a few reps that hung around and provided us with info and insight…
    and the keyboard warriors drove most of them away.

    Chill, and let him do his job. Be polite. And hopefully we'll get more info soon! :cool:

    We don't need more info. Certainly not incorrect ones. Remember last year he said 2 limb bots in December? I feel like it's better for people to not just ask any questions related to release dates. At this point, the only person who can lit a fire under ibot's buttocks is dalianjj.

    I get where you're coming from but as you said yourself, plans do change. Maybe the plan was two trailers and between feedback or redesign issues or whatever, it's now 1. Unless Ibot says it's going to be two again, the plan changed and now it's 1 it seems. I'm glad to get whatever information we can from him. :)

    So no more dual trailer or base mode? C9CCCE45-D42C-48F3-978F-5F669F3D424A.jpeg 558C0DBA-7BFC-42A9-9C17-4576321E56F1.jpeg

    That’s how production works, not just in transformers. We can’t control anything beyond that means

    Let's not forget... CNY most likely had the greatest impact to the delay. Your implication isn't clear, but the point should be made that any perceived delay is most likely to be blamed on CNY and not some unmitigated slow down on Keith's part.

    Let's not forget that last October ibot said that the last 2 limbbots will be out December 2018, heck according to him those two were already in test shot phase. CNY was still a couple of months away.

    It's better to release a product late, of it means better qc. The first two releases are excellent, I see no reason why the rest of this set will not be equal, if not better.

    That's why I said, it's not productive to keep asking ibot: "where are the last 3 bots?" Of course he'll say whatever just to keep your interest.

    NO ONE here can change ibot's production schedule. With the exception of dalianjj that is. Once FT's Motormaster hits, ibot will need to speed everything up just to keep up.
