iGear will give you head to make up for the van bros being so effing late. See Engrish below:

"We are still processing the refund for the PP01S, please email us if you haven't receive the refunds. We are sorry about this issue.

To the PP05 series, we know many customers complained about the delay, we also eagerly looking forward to the manufacturer say they are ready to delivery, but the fact is the manufacturer said the factory told them the produce is very very slow, the PP05 have too many parts, to many accessories, they are paying 120% of caution to ensure production quality, even we said we will ask for to change a new factory if they can't finish the PP05 in time. We are very sorry about the delay, we hope you guys can be more patient, we will send you the perfect toys. In order to express our apologies, we will add a new head in the PP05M package to make this toy more perfect, hope you will accept our apology.

Again, sorry for the delay and thank you for your continued support."

Surely a better solution to the delayed products is to reduce the number of weapons that come with each toy. Does PP05M really need Movie Ironhide's gigantic canons and a sniper rifle? Also, surely adding a new head for PP05 will not only add to the delay since they have to produce thousands of new heads. I'm guessing we will get a white helmet with red crest, white helmet with black crest and red helmet with white crest.

I just hope they polish the helmet good when I get my head...

BTW: do I have a future as part of the news crew?

iGear must subscribe to the Al Snow philosophy: "What does everybody want?!?!"

Anyways, I'm glad they are at least addressing the issue publicly. From 4/15 to 5/1, I still don't believe they'll make the deadline and glad customers are getting a waiting bonus.

Trikeboy, by now I don't think it would be appropriate for iGear to remove some of the accessories advertised in order to meet a deadline. While it might not be the main reason someone has already paid for a figure, it would be disingenuous of a company to renege at this point in the process.

Oh well, still waiting...

if they added a minicon dressed as a block of cheese, it'd be better.

I'm not specifically waiting on these. A little too pricey for me without having seen finished versions. Might come to regret that later as they do look ace, and one of the selling points for me is the multitude of accessories. Still, nice to see that they're giving 120.83%.

That's an awfully polite and honest e-mail from iGear. Hrm. I may need to change my stance on their products.

Agreed. Anyone offering fee head is worth re-considering

I dunno... usually offers of free head make me raise an eyebrow.
