    They've been out for quite some time now.

    From the pics and from seeing them first hand there pretty small and I found them to be quite lame. However many do enjoy them for there novelty value.

    Yeah, man, been out for a while now. My BBTS ones should be here today. Now, I'm gonna need a new home for my extra Nike Megs that I got last week from another place. Due to a typical (for me) on-line purchase clusterfuck, I now have 2. Doh!

    Same here. They charged me early last month. This may be the 1 and only time I will ever order from them. It's just too much of a wait.

    They don't have them in stock yet, the stuff must be on its way from Japan.

    Well, if they've been out for so long, why aren't they in stock? Ridiculous. I am with Roboto on this one.

    Because he has his stuff shipped by boat from Japan along with other Transformers and non-Transformers toys. And they've been out for only about a month and they're pretty hard to find, so patience is your friend.

    I didn't know they were out for that long of a time. I was thinking like, 3 months. I can wait, I just worry alot.

    Hey, at least you're getting them from A3U (should have gone with them myself). My original pre-order was with TFSource and they got screwed out of almost all their stock for real reasons unknown (something to do with Takara/Tomy fucking up orders).

    Had to go with the BBTS back-up plan and I got them yesterday! A bit more than I wished to pay, but I wanted them for less than around $80 each (nutty e-bay prices abound now). Good luck!

    They might be worth that much seeing how hard they are to get.

    They're an interesting idea, but there are better ways to spend $80 on TFs. The novelty wears off pretty quickly.

    Exactly! I refused to pay more than $40 (minus shipping) for them since they are indeed merely a neat oddity/novelty and I luckily got my wish! Thanks, BBTS!
