    Why would I do that, when I can save around $8 ordering from TFSource?

    B/c everyone and ther mother is ordering from tfsource so they are more likely to have slower movement of the product once they receive it

    I went with BBTS since I don't have to pay right away. I dig that.

    Even if that were the case, I'd rather wait longer than pay more.

    Tfsource is the same way... just select the pay later option.

    I ordered from BBTS because of the pile of loot feature. I'll save on shipping since I have the G3 Trailer sitting in there right now and also have Defender on preorder.

    It's $8. I just personally prefer not to order from TFSource if I can avoid it. That's worth $8 to me.

    Not a bad price, it almost makes me tempted to buy the set just for the bots....almost.

    I went with BBTS. I find it very difficult with TFSource if I need something canceled in a preorder. They like to 'not respond' instead of blatently saying NO. In my personal experiance, BBTS online capability and Customer Service wins over TFSource hands down. And yes, I do save on POL. But if I do find a place cheaper later I feel confident I can easily cancel from BBTS without a hastle.

    The June 2010 release date is overly optimistic. FansProject tends to release products beyond their expected arrival date. There is no need to preorder right away because of this. I will wait for painted prototype pics before ordering. You thought ROTF Buticus was expensive now. Wait until the set actually comes out and we will see super high prices.

    Yes and the increase in price might also apply for the add-on set. Might be better to pre-order now since if the price does shoot up later on, BBTS would still honor the price that you pre-ordered at.

    I'm all over this. This is looking like Transformer of the year for me. Super stoked about Defender too.
