    Ok, I'll let my friends know in case they didn't receive the notification. Most of them are getting disappointed with the level of service.

    For example, not informing customers if stocks are 'cut', pre-orders only fulfilled months later ONLY after there a reissue, unfavorable prices etc. I gave-up on them years ago.

    ^ But it's not the cheapest option. Online FB stores or LEGO retail stores should provide cheaper alternatives, especially when your friends can share a box.
    1 Simpsons box can make 3 complete sets plus extras, so it's more worthwhile to go this route.

    Ah, so are you saying that you and your buddies showed a set? If so its a good plan to save on the cost. That shop can really price gouge a customer at times. Example, reissued MP Soundwave was charged between $35-$40 more.

    Anyway if you want to continue buy from them, take note of the following:

    1. Remember what you preorder
    2. Take note of what you pre-order especially if its an 'exclusive'.

    Lows: I would prefer to have the Monsterarts version. This one is fine for what it's worth though I guess.
