    Not sure if this has been posted yet but it looks like BBTS are just about ready to put the orders up.

    May Mayhem - Coming May 22nd - 12:01 AM - $17.99 Each
    *** LIMIT OF 1 PIECE EACH PER PERSON ***
    PLEASE NOTE: Due to an extremely limited supply from Hasbro, we are enforcing a strict limit of ONE PIECE OF EACH FIGURE PER PERSON on these items. We realize the site will allow you to check out with more than one piece, we kindly ask that you order only 1 piece. Orders for more than 1 piece will be delayed, manually reduced, and refunded. Please help us make this process smooth by ordering only one piece.
    Please also note that we will be releasing inventory in two waves. The first wave at 12:00 Midnight Eastern Standard Time and the second wave at 10:00 AM Eastern Standard Time in order to better serve our customers living in many varied time zones around the world.

    Another online store with them... nice.
    Between BBTS, Amazon, TRU and Walmart all supposed to be stocking them online in America, this should hopefully mean there will be enough to cover everyone who wants them. :)

    At least we got a full on answer unlike Amazon with their random stocking of them XD. Kind of more annoyed its going up at Midnight Eastern, but the two stocking times and the limit does help a bit.

    Well this seems a lot more complicated than I was expecting.

    I wish I could pre-order them right now but I can't. I hope it doesn't become too difficult in a few weeks or months when I can get around to it.

    Wish my Amazon order had already shown up just in case I happen to have a defect/issue/wrong item/whatever. Doesn't get here till tomorrow since I chose cheap bastard super saver shipping. Ah well.

    Do we know which Time Zone it is? I forget if BBTS is Eastern or Central.

    Definitely staying up to hopefully secure a Wildrider I'm not too worried about these being scalped into oblivion, but I'd rather not take my chances. Nice bit of excitement for a Thursday night :lol

    They must have got theirs in a little later than other places, some people already have them from Amazon, hopefully it doesn't hurt their sales.

    I didn't realize between Amazon and WM more people haven't got them.

    Oh man, is this going to be like the day SDCC exclusives go up on HTS? Or since they will be available at so many different sites that will be negated a bit?

    It says 12:01 but not what time zone,does that mean pacific,central,mountain,or eastern.I want to be there ready to grab them when they go live.I have a feeling they are gonna fly in a matter of minutes,but thankfully they are restricting them one of each to keep the scalpers from getting them and selling them on here for $40 apiece.I am also happy BBTS ain't jacking the price up to $20 or $25 apiece,$18 is reasonable I think.

    So I'm a little confused. Are these two some sort of limited release and not with an upcoming wave? If so, that really sucks. As much as I can appreciate new characters and story lines, it would be nice to get the set you want without having it be a hassle.
    Same story with deluxe Groove, I really hope that he's in a future wave and not some obscure release.

    ya, this is a nice thing in one respect. I got tired of Mattycollector big time with their "10" limit and never getting the MOTU figures I wanted so I called it quits a long time ago and have a sour taste about them. They always said it was for people to save on shipping while ordering for a bunch of friends....ya, funny stuff. Anyway, So this is kind of a cool thing to do initially so more people get one earlier, whether really right or not. On the other hand I like to get 2 of everything. 1 to open, 1 for display. But really agree with BBTS's approach on this. I got 2 of each coming from Amazon I believe tomorrow because of that "cache"? thing when going to the watch list. I'm thinking these will not be that bad to get once they get going, out to all the other stores that's been said.

    A lot of people already got them from Amazon hopefully there is plenty to go around without scalpers trying to muscle in. Loving the order limit :)
