iGear Sharkticons (what's the story?)

[Transbot90210]

So we know that iGear is putting these out as a three pack for $130ish. What I do not know is how to get them.

BBTS has them for preorder and Automaton does too bu tthey are sold out. iGear's own site has no sign of them and I do not see them at any dealer I deal with.

Does anyone know the full story behind these guys? I know the price isn't the best but I still want them.

Thanks

Theres only 2 people who will have the rights to distribute them. Robotkingdom and Bbts. If automaton has them thats news to me.when i spoke with igear last, it was just those two to carry. And yeah, price break wasnt good.

Interesting. I've had them preordered on Automaton for quite a while. Hopefully it doesn't turn out like the Hardbone thing and get pulled (no pun intended :P)...which ultimately ended up being sold on other sites anyways. I'll be curious to see how this turns out...

That is weird, It is the first iGear item that iGear will not be selling on their site. Hopefully this is not a trend because I like my free shipping.

Did you get their latest wave of Minibots shipped in a padded enveloppe?

[Transbot90210]

NO. I count my blessings that I have never had an issue with iGear and I have a lot of their stuff all ordered through them.

My MiniWarriors were shiped in boxes with bubble wrap and came in perfect condition.

Yeah, mine were in envelopes. Fortunately the contents weren't damaged, just a little denting on the boxes.

Yeah, the first couple times I ordered from iGear they came mint, like C10 buddy.

The last time though.. The shipping box was completely smashed and the contents were banged up. Thank GOD none of the figures were damaged.

I was under the impression that these things were quietly canned. Nice to see that they made it to retail but I'd have no idea where or how to get them. Sorry.
