I don't live in USA and not-movie tf lines are not sold here. That's the problem. I'm in the same mood I was back in 2006. Too much waiting will burn me out, and I'll just spend my money on something else.
So the worst case scenario is that you become so impatient that you save yourself money? Also why do you care when they come out in the US when you can't get them here anyway, if you don't mind me asking?
Hahaha, not in the long run. I'll catch the collecting bug again and then I'll have to pay second hand prices for loose figures, and it will cost me more in the end. If you haven't noticed, prices on universe/henkei and other "classics" figures have skyrocketed after just a year. Because I have had figures in the BBTS' POL for 2 months now, waiting for Jazz and Tracks to become available so I can ship them all out in one go.
I just placed my pre-orders for United Bumblebee and Megatron, and hope they ship pre Xmas. I also placed my order for United Tracks, but they still have the pic of RtS Tracks up. Hmmmm, wonder why they haven't fixed that yet?
Well, if you know you will want them in the end, just don't cancel your preorder. Hang in there...we all know how it feels!
pre-order= guaranteed ownership. it is a little disheartening to get my figures LONG after most toy feedback threads have run their course, but i don't care as long as i get them for myself. i'd rather have a late Christmas than not have one, ya know? but there's no need for nerd-rage yet. now if Hasbro delays the line for another 3 months...i'll bring the torches and pitchforks to Rhode Island...
How quick is BBTS to ship out orders? I've just paid for my reissue Predaking and wondering how long I have to wait.
From my experiences, your package should ship within two days of when you paid for your order. Now come on United Megs!! I can't wait for that figure (the voyager).
It took them a few days to ship out my Joes. The turnaround might be longer currently due to the holidays.
My Predaking was added to my Pile on black Friday and I hit ship as soon as I saw it. The order went to "paid" for the whole weekend and changed to "shipped" on Monday with an arrival date of Friday, which is normal shipping time for them. Usually they're faster getting things out the door, but I guess the combination of my somewhat large Pile and the holiday weekend got them backed up.
Where are they located? i can't find any information from their web site as to where they're located. Since I paid this morning, I should expect the item within a week?
Oh good, at least their not Canada or some place overseas which would take forever. Reprolabels is in Canada and it takes just over 2 weeks to get my orders from them.
They definitely seem to have slowed down on shipping recently. I activated a Pile of Loot on Saturday night, and it didn't ship until yesterday. And naturally, something else came into stock on Monday, but it couldn't be included.
I have a question I hope someone might be able to answer. And it deals with preorders so instead of making another thread I figured just ask here. With the Fansproject Protector Armor and sidearm kit being two separate things should I turn my pile of loot on or should I just figure they will get them both in and ship them together?
Eagan is a large UPS hub that both BBTS (Wisconsin) and TFSource (Minn) use. It is next door to the Minneapolis-StPaul Airport.
