Site sponsor BigBadToyStore.com has posted a new pre-order for the upcoming Kup head upgrade set from 3P toymaker iGear Toys. The set is available for pre-order for 15.99 and includes two heads for deluxe RTS/United Kup-one with "cygar" and one without-and a carrying case. What's new on BBTS is a picture of the case for the heads which apparently is designed to fit into Kup's bed when he's transformed into his alt mode.

*Edited to apologize if that came across as snotty. I'm generally wondering if anyone's had a bad experience going with igear directly?

I was thinking the same thing

The only real advantage is the sense of security you get when dealing with BBTS. If there is a problem with the actual product you receive they will promptly take care of it. The only item I've received directly from iGear arrived safely with no issues, so I can't comment on their customer service. It would obviously be more of a hassle to return something to them, and their shipping time about two weeks.

That's an important point.
I automatically went to BBTS, as they are my go-to guys for online purchases, then I checked iGear, and realized I had ALREADY preorderd from them. DUH
I've bought from iGear several times before and have been happy with their direct shipping, so I see no reason not to buy direct from them.

If the colors don't match well, you might wish you had a pre-order you can cancel.

meh, the head he originally comes with doesn't really match the teal plastic that makes up the rest of the figure. I cant imagine that it will be too off to be a problem. But if so, i guess i just ate 12 bucks and I can live with that.

Aren't choices great?
