Yes sir, I have 2 of them now. However, there's one slight difference between the 2 figures (which were both sold to me by Sinodolls in separate auctions) that I didn't initially notice and therefore didn't mention:
Both BATS came with NO accessories, just their plain (non-battle-damaged) head, the usual battle-damaged chestplate (permanently attached), and the 2 detachable hands, both of which come attached and not loose. There were no accessories included whatsoever, no extra head, stand, etc, Just the BAT. Both BATs are also missing their black belt, which makes them look a little awkward, but I ordered some utility belts from TofuJesse that I'm hoping, after some modifications, will do the trick. However... on one of the BATs, the black pistol holster on the left thigh with the strap coming off the top (that hooks onto the missing belt) was missing, and on the other one it was present. The auction photos show these present, but you can't really rely on any of their photos, it's really a gamble any time you order from these China sellers, although I will say that I've never had bad luck with any of them, they just take longer to ship. This sort of thing is typical for some China sellers, as I've ordered several figures from sellers like viperskingdom and wstoys that have also had this happen, but those figures usually came with the accessories in a factory baggie. My cancelled Jungle(?) ROC Ripcord (Skydive) had this issue, as did a few ROC Star Vipers, etc. I'm desperately wishing and hoping that some China seller would post SDCC Constructicon BATs at that price!

I think I will def check em out, I figure for that price and lack of accesories they'll make good custom, I have recently purchased a couple Jungle BATS & a 25th anny, so I do have some "extra" parts...Was thinking about combining so parts of a Terminator I have edit: You probably do have but in case you ddin't and wanted I saw a Renegades Air-tight in the wild...

Alright then, I figured that "in case you ddin't and wanted" meant you were gonna tell me where, but if you'd rather keep the location secret, that's cool. Haha I would definitely not raid your hot spot either, I promise. I have far too many figures already and need to sell a bunch of them before I buy many more. You could also just PM me where you saw him if you don't want it publicly known here.

I was there at about 1:30 and she checked the system. Told me they didn't have them yet but they were on the truck, on their way. I called the Shrewsbury store and they told me that they don't carry them. I wouldn't believe a thing any of the people there tell me. They are idiots and really don't care. They just want you to go away... They work at a discount junk store... how many brain cells do they really need to get hired...
