I got it in a group buy, but I think they had a list of us distributors on their facebook page. The Strike is fantastic, it's been awhile since I've bought something that I didn't have any real issues with. It's gigantic, it weighs almost 3lbs, the led gimmick is cool and I love the sliding panels. I do wish they had included a spare set of v-fins as I can see it breaking pretty easily, and I would have liked fix posed hands rather than articulated fingers. The ankle articulation could be a bit better , it actually has no forward/back ankle articulation due to the way the sliding panels work in the legs, but the feet have good articulation to make up for this. Considering I paid maybe 130 shipped, it's an amazing deal for something of this quality. Can't wait for their Buster and Qan  Metal Build Plus Aile Strike Gundam by siningy, on Flickr |

I find it strange that I preordered with bhiner and now they saying that it won't be sent til mid june while US distributors already got theirs and sent to customers. But I'm glad others got their copy.

Tempting but the PG strike is all I need. The 1/72 scale would be an odd fit because I don't have any other 1/72 scale gundam.

They respond to me saying that until now, there has been no response from mo show. Have you gotten yours yet? Thanks. I got some item delay response from Bhiner when they contacted the Seller last month, but when I ask have they shipped out it yet last week, the could not get me a set date. I message them a request to cancel and request full refund. (Ill lose the fee on this) Bhiner summit-ed my request to taobao and and told me when they refund them, they will refund me. I think Mo show over sold their first batch and any one that didn't get it will have to wait for their 2nd batch. I went and ordered from thetoysource afterward. |

Since they setup their distribution now, it's best to use those stores for their future orders from now on.
I wonder if their 2nd batch will have the corrected Warrior spelling.

Im not sure if I should just wait ANOTHER month while ppl are getting theirs in the states or just get a refund. I would have gladly purchased from toy source or tf direct if i knew there would be a delay. This kind of defeats the purpose of preordering through taobao.. Bah. |

Yeah , normally if you order from taobao you'll get it first. Especially when you preorder way before overseas distribution was announced. For their future products I'm gonna go with tf-direct or thetoysource. |

...on an aside, man, TF-Direct sure has a pile of KOs of 3rd-party TFs...still don't get why there would be bootlegs of 3rd-party toys...just so...weird.  |

Cloud9 Quakeblast was a retool bootleg of FT Quakewave and sells for about half the price. Much better value. Clonedroid ripped off MMC Hexatron and slightly tweaked it and is also about half the price of the original. In both causes, they are just as good as the original and at half the price of the originals. Wukong was making the Warbotron combaticons and from the reviews, were spot on replicas. Again, at a fraction of the price. |

already placed my orders for the upcoming ones at tf-direct. that qanta sure looks spectacular, I wish they stayed with 1/72 size so they'll be different with Bandai's metal build series. I also hope they address their spelling issues.

I have to disagree on Quakeblast being a bootleg of Quakewave - it's a totally different mold, while Clonedroid made a 1:1 copy of MMC's Hexatron with some improvements, and the Wukong ones are exact copies of the Warbotron figures. |

To me it's still a bootleg. Just caused they remold the parts to look different, they stole the engineering and transforms exactly like the FT. It isn't a complete replica. Retooling the parts doesn't really counts as different. Yeah, they added the chest lights and parts to the legs to make it slightly different. It will be like saying the Wei Jiang AOE OS Evasion Prime isn't a bootleg cause it has die cast parts, and new part on the shoulder and the lower legs. Or MT's own version of the G2 Laser Prime they made for their BattleTanker set isn't a bootleg cause it's completely retooled. Regardless if they completely over haul the figure with newly molded sculpt and parts, they still reused the transformation engineering. That to me makes it a copy so I define that as bootlegging. |
