No this is not FansProject, this is another group that sells their stuff and gets exclusives, kinda like the TFCC.
And seeing how the guy who posted that comment singed up solemnly to post that, I think it's safe to say that he's associated with them and tried to divert attention away from the stupid shipping.

I've got a few folks that have done the same for me when getting stuff shipped straight to the US has been a ridiculous ordeal. If anyone is interested let me know. It should go without saying, but it won't cost y'all a penny more than it costs me.

Thanks, I'll consider your offer, just have to make sure that I have everything sorted out and if I really want him, I'll shoot you a pm once I know.

As for shipping cost, remember its a flat rate. I'm not sure how much shipping from the US to international destinations would be for SteelCore, but some of you international fans could group up with US members and get them to group buy and then ship it to you from the US.

I guess people prefer to read re-posts of what I say from other boards, over here.

Unfortunately shipping from China right now is not an option. Although the manufacturer is located in China, they are a distributor who wholesales to larger companies and only have shipping setup with the dealers they distribute to.

Think of the Fans Project Core community as one of those dealers / distributors. We are just sanctioned by Fans Project to get exclusive releases and support the fans. Our operations are only located in North America and at this time no plans are in the works to do otherwise. We are working toward the future and your ideas are valued, but not feasible at this time.

Keeping your Steel Core in your shopping cart will not reserve you copy or guarantee that it will be available to you once they are sold out.


Thanks,

Fans Project Core Staff

If crying bout trivial things is going to be a necessity perhaps we should have a sub-forum for it. That way the rest of us who paid and are interested in the product can actually have a reason to check the thread when a post is made.

or we can go back to

especially when the first post in the thread mentioned the shipping. the intent was to spark a discussion, not only about how the toy looks, but about the actual pre-order process, including pricing.

From what I understand this paint job is the exclusive & a red & blue primary paint scheme will be the general release version.

I never said FansProject Core is run by a separate group, anywhere online. FansProject is very hands on with what goes on with FansProject Core. However, to make things run smoothly, FansProject Core is considered a separate entity from FansProject. This is needed to get things rolling once future features on the website are revealed and become active. The people that run the website and service aren't the same designers and guys dealing with the production of the toys. But they are very involved with the way things go on the Core website.
