If iGear had kept these latest releases to the original sizes the line was going to be at, i.e. closer to Legends Class scale, then I'd of been all over this but I'm not after Scout or Deluxe sized 'Minibots' so alas no Gears for me.![]()

Hey, anyone got this guy on pre-order??
I've been holding back as I had my eye on an eBay listing by dragongames83 (actually looking at getting all four of the new MW series), apparently an official iGear partner... and then the release date kept getting pushed back, several times now.
Was waiting until they actually got stock but then the listing was ended yesterday! Disappointed... they actually had a really good price for Cogz and Bushwacker at US$70 plus only $10 for postage from China. Cheaper than BBTS before postage!
With our dollar plummeting by the day, this hobby is getting a bit more painful... OK so it's not a huge change for now, certainly not like the 'bad times' when we were buying south of US$0.70!!
Might have to try for RobotKingdom before things really go pear shaped...

You can order them directly from iGear, apparently they're in stock now:

But the link for them says pre order. But the page says instock?
Yeah, many of the Asia/HK based stores seem to use the term 'in-stock' for pre-order items to imply that the pre-order hasn't been sold-out yet, e.g. RobotKingdom has the same implication.
I have heard some negative experiences about people ordering directly from iGear so I have steered away from doing that. I haven't had problems with RobotKingdom thus far, so will probably order through a secondary seller like them...
Would be interested in anyone's experiences with iGear direct.

I deal with I gear. Done it a few times. No troubles yet. Think I need to make another order soon.
I have also ordered from Igear in the past. No problems.
I've ordered from them directly without any problems, and probably prefer to get their products directly from them to avoid postage costs. I personally wouldn't pre-order anything though, as their estimated release dates get pushed back quite dramatically at times.
I've ordered the MW 5, 6, 7 & 8 (I've heard second-hand confirmations they have finally been finished and are ready to go), so hopefully I'll have them in hand soon!
Thanks for the feedback... yeah, normally I wouldn't pre-order either, unless it's something based on a queue system like from TFsource. In this case however, it's so uncertain what the currency exchange rate is going to do, and I'm thinking I might just get it locked in before (if) it falls further!

Look awesome. Would love these.
However, I'm a little on the fence about paying in "US Dollors."![]()
