OK have further confirmed the shipping increases when getting shipping costs for these items:

1. iGear MW-05, 06, 07, 08 - shipping $29.86 compared with $24.98 back in June.

2. FP G3 trailer, FP Sidearm, and FP Backfiery - $44.00 compared with $32.98 back in March.


So... depending on the item ordered, the increases in shipping may be rather hefty, or may be more modest. That $44 rate seems to be some sort of threshold that is dictated by size and/or weight... obviously the iGear mini-warriors snuck in below that.

Overall, I suspect that MP-08 would not have shipped for less than around $32 in the 'old days'.

does anyone know what accessories come with this release? all i know so far is a flaming sword and coin crown but there's no mention of gun, apron, drinks etc...

Well, if you believe BBTS, they report confirming that original MP-08 accessories are included... Stating that the gun, apron, and drinks set will be there. This likely means that the helmet thing will also be included.

As I understand it, the extra stuff are the crown/coin and the flame cover for the sword.

if only they sold the flame sold and coin/crown separately :/

Some online stores such as BBTS have pushed out the release date to February 2014.
