So, when youre anxiuosly awaiting a TF figure, do you wait till the date theyre out, or do u go to a website to preorder? And if so, what website(s)? And what figures have u recently preordered? i have preordered: NEST BB and SW 2 pack ROTF Legends Devs From: BBTS
BBTS is my main online retailer of TF's. I just made an order with TF Source, so if I have a positive experience I will use them for pre-orders too.
other: Automaton, has a system kind of like bbts without the customs charges (and flat rate shipping within canada) and the guy running it is great
For normal releases I just wait till I find them in store. I don't preorder something that will get a mass release at retail. For import preorders I use BBTS.
Primarily BBTS, mainly because of the Pile-of-Loot feature, so I can wait to ship my TF items until my Green Lantern figures (or whatever else I've ordered) comes in. I use TFSource every once in awhile, and they're a great company to do business with, but they aren't my first choice.
BBTS is my main stop. Every now and then Hasbrotoyshop as well. From the replies in this thread I may need to check into TFsource.
It really depends on how common or rare/expensive the particular figure will be. I find that alot of the more common figures will hit Ebay first (& in numbers) before BBTS/TFsource etc. get them in stock. So the 'Bay will be my first port of call (since I live in Aus & I just can't wait... ). But when it comes to the more expensive/rarer figures, I search for the best online-store price (BBTS, TFsource, RK, HLJ etc.) & place a pre-order with them. But I'm still waiting for TFsource to get WST Shocky & Blaster in stock...
BBTS always: never had any complaints with their service so far... and they let me pre-order stuff without charging me until the item comes out, so if I change my mind before it comes out I can just cancel my order
i've notice that robotkingkom. If you order from them, even with shipping from the asian rim. It is still cheaper then bbts.
