    Not long at these prices. I agree with others here. Something seems odd about this sale.

    Maybe they're just wanting to put stuff on sale, and just themed this one after all the hoop-la?

    Nnnnnn.... Got Battle Tanker. Dammit. I thought I'd be able to resist. I did resist the Insecticons, though.

    I wouldn't have been able to resist Reflector...

    I finally got my last two Insecticons! Not really interested in anything else, or I already have what I want. Honestly, we can speculate that this sale seems odd, but BBTS was sitting on a TON of inventory for some these items. There's very little that costs more than inventory just sitting there.

    Pretty much up to date with my "instock" stuff.... Preorders I'm falling behind but the only stuff I'd be getting is 3rd party gigs for custom repaints..... Namely diaclone dev or diaclone insecticons

    They kept preorders open for First Edition toys for almost a week after announcing they wouldn't be getting them in.

    On the front page it's being called an "Inventory Reduction Sale."

    For some of this stuff, like the FP Insecticons, they have over 400 of a particular figure. I've noticed with third party stuff, much like video games, it sells the best when it comes out and then people just forget about it and move onto the next best thing.

    Plus, with such a commotion being made about third party toys and Botcon, BBTS is looking to capitalize on people who want to "try out third party."

    I don't think they are dropping them, as not every third party figure is on sale, like Rager.

    This sale makes me cry, as I don't have the cash for this but I can't resist these prices.

    That was a bit different though. Those were pulled due to not being able to get stock. They left the orders up just in case. An agreement with Hasbro that forbids the selling of them would have no reason to leave them up. Just a last ditch effort to unload the rest of what they have now.

    I guess we'll find out for sure when the sale ends.
