    I'm still waiting, congrats. What good does priority shipping do when it takes 4-5 days to arrive? If I use parcel post, 2 days. I just don't get it man. :lol

    Dude that sucks.


    I've found there really isn't much of a time difference between the two different shipping methods, at least none that have been significant. Hopefully you'll get your Vehicon soon.

    Wow, you're complaining about 4-5 days? I get excited when something arrives in two weeks.

    Yeah, this Vehicon appears to have a bicep swivel (the FE one didn't).

    It shipped Monday from around 6 hours drive away (give or take) and usually takes 2 days to arrive by parcel post, except I paid for priority shipping to speed it up. Hell yeah I'm complaining. I live in the boonies kinda but I don't live in Canada. Our postal system is getting to be just as slow as yours is anymore and they're trying to pass a bill to fuck it up even more. No offense meant honestly but it is what it is and why I won't buy from sellers there anymore. The last package I paid for never arriving from there helped too though. If a preorder fills from BBTS and it ships by Friday ,parcel, I can open it on Monday like clockwork. If I use Priority and it ships on a Monday, then it's Friday or even Saturday and the mail truck still runs every day. Makes zero sense and it's the third time now in a month and it's been every time I've used Priority from BBTS but it's really not them doing it. It's the Postal "Service" and the mess it's become the past 7-8 months.

    I don't pay the extra money to just wait for stuff I paid for that should be here in a reasonable amount of time (time the postal service "guarantees") because that defeats the purpose of paying for premium mail service. Priority "was" 2-3 days guaranteed but not anymore it seems because it's a regular thing now. Sorry for the rant but this shipping and not getting adequate service has been eating me up for a while and not just from the BBTS orders. It's screwing my bills and everything up for no good or logical reason at all. Bouncing on your car payment or missing time sensitive documents/court papers is awesome. Love it. The postal system here is going down the toilet is the reason. Yeah I'm complaining alright and I have good reason to, just maybe not so much here. Sorry, Vehicon fiends.

    Heh, i'm still waiting for this guy (and knock out, Voy Starscream) to show up EU side, so i can order them from amazon.co.uk, i've seen Peaugh's review of this guy, and i really like the improvements they did to his transformation and bot mode (if only they could have done the same with Arcee)

    Someone should do a repaint of this guy in the style of the Star Trek Red-Shirts, since they die just about as often, and in pretty much equal numbers.

    Ugh, TFSource needs to get their stock in so they can start shipping preorders so I can finally get this guy. :(  And Hot Shot and Knockout, but mainly this guy.

    You do realize that is one reason a lot of people have gone to using electronic payment for bills? The USPS has been shooting itself in the foot for many years (along with a few postal employees shooting each other). That's what you get when a non-commercial entity tries to run a business.
