I've got mine on order with ehobby, just curious, why are you boycotting RK?

Strange, I find RK's service one of the best from retailers I've used. I always email and get responses from Daniel very quickly. When my new MP-9B knees broke, they sent me replacement joints with no problems. When I had other QC issues like minor paint app issues that I could mostly live with, I still told them and they gave me credit back straight away (eg. 5%-10% credit back).
Their shipping costs are a little higher, but I'm OK with that since they protect their items for shipping so well, and they always have the exclusive coins and accessories.
I stopped using them when they stopped replying to my emails when they sent a damaged item. (and before that, they were difficult to get an answer on things)
I stopped using RobotKingdom when they stopped accepting credit cards and went to being PayPal exclusive, since I don't have or use PayPal.
didn't know you are very anti Ebay and Paypal (same company actually)
But don't you find is getting harder as most stores are switching to Paypal?
It is bad as they charge very high exchange rates which is worse than normal credit card charges, a lot of people are blind and thought they are better off.
Remember that PayPal gives you the option to simply use your credit card company's exchange rate, and not the PayPal rate. I agree the PayPal rate is very high, and the majority of times you will be better off using the option in PayPal to just use your credit card's rate, not theirs.
I actually like that they give you that option, but still provide the Buyer Protection that comes with using PayPal. Believe me, there are LOTS of collectors who have benefited from PayPal buyer protection when items are not received or not as described!
