Remember that black version of Mini Warrior Rager that showed up on iGear's facebook page a while back? Apparently it's an UpgradeCommander Exclusive, images below:

Has anyone ordered from this site yet? And do they accept PayPal?

Call it exclusive and tack on $45... This is the other **** that's ruining the 3rd Party experience. Only question, who are the bigger assholes, UGC or iGear? Easy answer? F them both...

3rd party items are already pricy limited runs, to me they're all already exclusives. I make a point not going for these different color schemes, not even for City Commander.

This is about 2x the price of the original Rager. Yeah, pretty steep (especially factoring in that we already pay more due to it being a 3P offering and not in larger retail) but another consideration is if this product is limited. All we know is "exclusive", not "limited". If it is indeed a limited run, that would have to factor into the cost to create and supply.

Not doing it for me, even at the price of Rager. Now, the con exclusive Erector repaint of this mold?

Try 4x... The original one was $15 shipped. This one looks to be about $60 shipped. And the exclusive nonsense is a joke. Unless there are only 50 of these in existence compared to like 5000 of the Huffer deco, the exclusivity is just code for 'what will make you feel better about getting ripped off?'

I've ordered all 3 Giant sets from Upgrade Commander and have had nothing but good service from them.

They did accept PayPal but I think they had an issue renewing a contract with them, though the translated text makes it hard to figure out exactly what it is.

Anyway that's my experience.
