Substandard just means the box might be a bit dinged up. Unless you're a rabid MISB collector, no worries!


And, I too was a day 1 preorder, got my email today. Grimlock goodness will be here next week!

 

Ah, I see. That is a damn good deal, though.

 

Can someone tell me the day BBTS opened the preorders for Grimlock?,my preorder went
in on Oct.15, was that the day it happened?.

 

Got my email from HLJ saying it's shipped   The sucky part is that now the Canadian dollars is crap and I'll pay much more than what it was when I pre-ordered, but I'll have it, no matter the cost.

 

Just had the shipping email from HLJ, awesome... yesterday Alternity Convoy arrives, and now sometime next week this should be on my doorstep, marvellous. Been looking forward to this MP since it was announced.

That's pretty much my TF buying for the year, bar any shock new MP/BT/Alternity announcements... Alternity Megs next, nothing else preordered after that. Movie Leader Prime's the only other possibility, but on the fence due to it's needing modding and painting as well.

 

has anyone seen a more bizarre accessory kit for a transformer

He s got an apron a bunch of beakers the awesome brain transfer thingy. but my favorite has to be the bow tie for dino mode I cant remember which episode that was from though but he ll be wearing it when he gets here in a week.

 

I know this MP is smallish for relative size but this may be my favorite ever.

 

Not for a TF, but SOC Iron Gear comes with some kind of balaclava!

 

I preordered on day 1 as soon as BBTS had preorders up for him. I think that it was either late September or early October. I can't look for the exact date now as my preorder is no longer in their system.

It's probably very possible that they only got a small portion of their order in yesterday and that's why only the earliest preorders are getting their confirmations. BBTS has a thing on their website saying that he'll be here for regular order on the 27th... so that's probably when the rest of their shipment will be coming in.

 

Where are the in pack shots of the cassettes? Weren't they out today as well?

 

Man i wish i had him.

 

Yes, it means loose joints, missing accessories, crushed box, rusted die-cast parts and 2 right fists!!










(just kidding!  )

 

I order everything 'substandard' from BBTS and almost everything comes in a perfect and flawless package. "Substandard" doesn't mean you will get a substandard package, it just means that they don't take special care to make sure you get a pristine one. You get whatever they grab first, basically.

My Grimmy shipped from Anime-Export. I can't wait to have him here with me, wearing his bowtie and serving me drinks. I might even buy a little grill and tongs for him so he can BBQ. I may even paint "Kiss the Cook" on his apron.  

 

Mine just arrived today. The best looking masterpiece so far. extremely sturdy, no balance issues like the jets.

 

lucky. I just got my tracking # from BBTs, looks like I'll have it Monday

 

Does anyone know when TFsource will ship these? Does BBTS generally get orders out faster?

 

YES.  

 

does anyone know how much bbts is charging for shipping for grimlock?

 

$12.79 for shipping. Total: $156.78 to California.

 

Mine shipped from BBTS today, as well. Should get it early next week. Funny how the site still says "preorder" for him. I guess it pays to order early.
