    Yea but I don't wanna get in the habit of preordering and cancelling all the time.

    Then there's also the risk of items dropping months before they're estimated just like Nightbird and Zetar did.

    I have no shame, I cancel on BBTS all the time, :p  it's one of their selling points. But I'm also a loyal customer to the T and order a lot from them, well, at least for me I consider it a lot.

    I doubt wave Earthrise wave 1 will come out earlier than March or Feb... they give you a heads up when it's about to process so you can cancel?

    Also, the entire wave is up on Amazon.com as well (besides the micromaster and battlemaster set I think). You can pre-order there and cancel to your hearts desire. Amazon has no soul anyway. :p

    So those of you that are still wondering about the Seacons on BBTS:

    The other day someone posted something that made front page news about getting an email from bbts and saying his pre orders for the seacons had been canceled and they were now Pulse exclusives. Acourse that pretty much meant lots of us were screwed as the cut off time for those figures ended weeks ago. The issue I have with this is no one else has posted about it happening to them, and several other people (atleast 50+ myself included) that pre ordered them said they still had their pre orders visible on the home page. My guess is possibly he just had a random fluke happen to him where maybe someone on bbts wasn't paying attention or accidentally canceled something they shouldn't have. Despite being a Pulse exclusive, yesterday Seacons 5 and 6 start showing up for pre order on TF Source and several other sites......when they're supposed to be Pulse exclusives? We're all really scratching our heads now.

    Earlier someone else in that thread said they called up BBTS:

    So for those of you like me that pre ordered the first 2 from bbts early, unless you got them from somewhere else I'd prob hang on to your pre orders as it looks like we might still have a chance. Otherwise it looks like I'll have to opt from them for RobotKingdom as those two are pre sold out nearly everywhere else from what I can tell.

    I'm trying to teach myself patience by NOT preordering everything right away unless it's a limited run or exclusive release that might be hard to obtain later. Pretty much everything from these wave 1 reveals will be readily available for a while when they come out and might even see discounts like Red Alert and the like from Kickin' Toys.

    Yeah, I know what you mean. Earthrise wave 1 will hit discounts...

    But for me I make a personal rule that I'm completely 100% okay with MSRP, so for the most part, I've been a happier collector, lol.

    Lancer just dropped into my PoL. I'll probably wait to ship until Smokescreen hits.

    Since Fansproject Dai Z was down to only 2...and he was still at $52, I pulled the trigger. So only 1 left in stock now. Guess that will be part of my Lost Light idw display.

    And I grabbed the last one. I heard he was pretty good, and had my eye on him awhile. Thanks for posting that, or I might have missed out!

    Huh. BBTS now has/have 9 "substandard" grade Dai Z left in stock also for $52 now that all the "standard" grade ones sold out.

    WB007 Warbot Dai-Z

    I was fiddling with my Siege Bluestreak and Prowl yesterday watching youtube reviews on Dai Z, and I was like, well I did pay $40 for these two Siege figures...

    And that sweet-looking Dai Atlas is only $52, with a premium feel, more playability, and getting a similar sword like that alone would be like $15(?) already that I could use for other figures. :p

    It still floors me to see the Fansproject headmasters on such deep discount. They're great figures (esp for what they're selling for now).

    Then again Titans Return was pretty much the death nail for getting any more headmasters out of FP. Boy FP really screwed the pooch by not finishing off hardhead before hand... even if it meant no apeface or snapdragon.

    I believe the sword has a tab in feature and can only be tabbed in the right hand. At least I think I remember seeing that in a review.

    I kind of still want the fansproject Broadside just because he looks more bulkier than the TR. There were just some figures I wish hadn't got the titan master treatment. Jumpstarters, Monsterbots, Decepticon Seeker Targetmasters, Perceptor, Soundwave, Blaster, Sixshot, Astrotrain, Octane...okay pretty muc 90%of the line. LOL

    I completely understand how the market basically fell out for those figures, but I still would be very tempted if FP finished their line. Their figures were great. the TR figures were great, but something different. I am getting out of the MP game so none of the MP headmaster offerings are tempting to me.

    I got him when he first came out, he's a really nice figure. Transformation has a couple of those "mind blown" moments, solid diecast. Yeah, TR Broadside didn't really do it for me with his jet mode.

    I keep hoping Mirage and Impactor have dropped at BBTS when I see this thread bumped. :D

    That reminds me, I've been wanting to sell mine but I can't find the damn thing. Probably lost in storage.

    Not yet, but hopefully soon! They've been spotted not 30 minutes from me so I expect to see them this week (or I missed them which is also a possibility).
