    I wasn't able to preorder from BBTS, but I got the set from Tfsource. Just hoping they start shipping theirs soon!

    Personally I am a little peeved that they are choosing to fill the three pack orders first and not those of us who bought a case. Economically it makes sense, but leaves a bit a bad taste in my mouth. Especially if they are filling in three pack orders that were ordered after my preorder date.... Dang it.....

    Me too! I'd rather wait a little bit than pay that BBTS price if you didn't get your pre-order in early enough.

    We don't definitely know this to be true. It would make sense that orders for the set of 3 would have been placed quicker than orders for the full case, as most people would probably prefer to buy only what they wanted and not have to pay extra for some extra figures they wouldn't want to deal with.

    I just scanned the last few pages of responses and didn't notice an instance of someone saying their 3 order had been placed at a date later than my case order and having been fulfilled.

    I think the case orders went up a little bit after the 3 figure and single War Path options.

    My preorder date is Feb 12,2011. Anybody can confirm a filled 3 pack order date that was pre-ordered after this date?

    Actually we know it to be completely untrue. I think I was the first person to post something on this, but I did it in another thread:

    And rest assured, I had ordered the case! OMG!

    So here's my other post with my assumed theories of how they process orders. But even beyond this... jeez...lighten up guys. BBTS does run a pretty tight ship but that still doesn't mean they have the manpower to process every order the instant a shipment arrives.

    Just checked on my case (March 16th) and it still shows preorder.

    Did see though that my PCC Heavytread and Skyhammer were processing now and getting ready to be added to my pile of loot.

    Any chance you know when you pre-order your case and can post it? Just wondering what the cutoff was for the order being filled. Guess I am just SOL on getting these this week.:eek: 

    Hell yeah! :) :D

    It doesn't show on BBTS website after it's now in my POL, so I need to check my email, but that's not loading right now. But I'm pretty sure I ordered like the first day they had it up for pre-order.

    Does BBTS oversell preorders? I can be patient if I'm sure it won't be hosed.

    Looking on these forums, it looks like the preorder for the single, three pack and case came out together on the 2nd of February. Edgewise did post on the 2nd that he had ordered the case. I am guessing that so far only peeps only the 1st day preorders are being processed. I am a far away ten days from that... oh wells...:cry

    I know, I'll ship my POL now and THEN he'll come in... and UN Rumble and Frenzy, too... :banghead: 

    Meh. Patience will win out. Especially since I'm waiting until the PE Scouting Force (Not-Reflector) arrives to ship my POL.
