    I think the only people to answer this is FE, the last I herd was that they were on a slow boat from china :D

    I get the odd random pm asking where the breathers are, think some people wrongly assume I live in Barry's back pocket. :)) Would explain the facial expression. :o

    Maybe our breathers are on board this little love tug?

    Emailed Barry the other day as their news letter stated you needed to confirm your orders. Barry was at the Toy Fair in NY but passed my mail onto to Tina, who responded thus :

    I am sending this as confirmation of your order of the James Bond Breathers.
    Order ####.

    We haven't received the product yet. I talked to the shipper this morning
    and am waiting for confirmation of the delivery date to our location. Once
    we receive the product we will begin shipping right away. You will get
    notification and shipping information from our online order system.

    Just hope they arrive before I go out to the States in April.

    I have no more firm details than GM, except that I got the distinct impression that shipping is imminent, ie within the next couple of weeks.

    Just got mine and they are constructed quite well. However, on my TB
    the black and white won't line up properly, ie. either same color or alternating; plus
    there is a super glue finger print on the black and white paint. So a bit disappointed
    in the quality control.

    I have to say that for the amount of money involved, that glue fingerprint would be enough to make me return it for a refund. It's not as though it's a $25 item. I know it's sold out, but hopefully FE got a few extras in for just such eventualities. It's not like quality control is a huge concern in China.

    Indeed. Recently I saw a prototype made in China over the Chinese New Year Period.......

    Let's just say I've honestly seen better quality done by primary school kids.

    We are sorry to hear that. We offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee on all of our replicas products. If you are not happy please contact us and we will either replace it or refund you.

    All of our replicas are inspected for QA (quality assurance) at the factory by a 3rd party inspection company prior to shipping and something that obvious should have been noticed. We keep a log of who inspected each item, if you can advise the edition # we can have a gentle word with the inspector who passed it :-) No superglue is used in the construction of these items, so we can only assume that it is glue used to bond the acrylic case or contamination from another production line? Either way its sloppy and should not have happened. Our apologies, please contact us and we will do our utmost to resolve the issue for you .

    On a positive note you seem to have received yours really fast, these only started shipping out On Tuesday and you have received yours within 48 hrs... at least Fed-Ex came through :-)

    Hi all, just been advised by Factory Rent that they have a few cancelled orders on the breathers and as a result of this they have put them for sale today on their website. Its a good opportunity for anyone whose missed out to have a go. Good luck.
  • BenSV650BenSV650 Posts: 236MI6 Agent
    Have they all sold out already or have they not been put up for sale yet?
  • BOFFERBOFFER Posts: 331MI6 Agent
    Not sure but I sent Barry Eldridge asking if he had any cancelled orders. He mailed me back with yes and email is below.
