I just ordered their Gears and Swerve on their site. shipping was $18 bucks for the pair. so Shipping on this might be considerably more since it's so much bigger. I'll prob wait to see what the US retailers put it up for.

Did you get the MFB too?

yea I got it for 9.99. its two bucks more than their package deal. but I can't not get that guy. its so funny. =X

I live just outside of Philadelphia and the actionrobo shipping is $36 which isn't bad for something of that size. Still have to get another YOTS Omega (I sold the one I got last year along with my Green Giant ). I do have the Energon Omega Sentinel but I'm going to hold out until I get Omega Supreme again.

Welp, time to sell another 40K army to afford this.

Nooo, is it a painted army? Keep hold of it dude and pass on this, which just makes the base figure's legs look really tiny and even more out of place than usual.

Mind if I asked why you sold it?

Eh, needed the money. What's the use of a toy if you have no home to keep it in? It's on the list of stuff to get back.

Bout half. Haven't played in over a year and most of that has to do with 6th edition just isn't fun for me. Besides, I'll still have 6 others left.

What is 40K ? A simple answer please, not a wiki link.

I am tempted to break out the "let me Google that for you" link...

Warhammer 40k. It's a miniature gaming system. There are tons of figures that can be bought and hand painted. I don't know which is more fun (or aggravating) playing the game or painting the figures.

And really, you couldn't click on a link to get this info?

There, the "what I should have done" clever editing of quotes is complete! Muahahaha.

But really, the Armageddon kit looks cool with all its LEDs. I wonder if/when BBTS will get a pre-order up. Of course, if MakeToys holds to past performance, they'll release a few of these overseas, a small shipment to the likes of BBTS, and make the rest of us wonder if we will ever get the product.

I'm looking at you, Mobine, Paladin, Not-Swerve, and more...

Yeah, but my great preference is to go through BBTS. It's not just price for me, it's availability and comfort with the e-tailer. I will go through another store, if I want the product enough. I'm too borderline on this one to risk a new e-tailer.

yea same here. I'm waiting on reviews before committing to this set. I'm pretty sure BBTS will be priced at around the same as Hong Kong retailers + shipping.

Preorders up at BBTS for $114.99. I dunno how to link from my phone but its up there front paged.

I've got you covered! BBTS Order for $114.99 plus shipping.

And shoot! Now I have to make a decision on this...

I don't have to make a decision. Preordered on the spot.

This is about the ball park middle price most figured this set would sell for. Maketoys is one of the 3rd parties that charges a bit less. Had this been TFC,This set would have easily been over $200.

BBTS,over ordered on this set. They have over 800 of this in stock. I think BBTS made a bad decision to order so much. This thing is going to be a slow seller like there reissue Piranaking is.

I have no desire to buy this add on set. Since I think the original toy is terrible. The toy looks even worse now,not better, with all the caked on add ons.

Care to elaborate?

I think it looks good with the set. besides those strange things on the legs... wtf is that? Horrible place to just put **** they have no idea what to do with.

Also there is nothing cheap about MAKETOYS. Their Amour sets starts at 100-180 for the Nova prime version.. (well worth it though =D)

I disagree that the original toy is terrible, I think it's decent overall, especially with the new head and claw. However I agree 100% that this upgrade set makes the figure look worse.

*Clicks link* Pre-ordered. I rather like the original mold, but IMHO this will work nicely for it.

I'll wait until it clearances out and they price it to move. If that never happens, then I'll do without.
