My set of 3 shipped yesterday, but they've been in my POL for a week.

 

I should be getting mine today.

 

Hmm... I did the set of 4 that included Twinstrike since I hadn't picked him up yet either but mine is still listed as Pre-Order with a release date of "2nd Quarter"

 

Mine was in my PoL as of yesterday. Maybe someone dropped theirs and I was next in line or maybe they got more. I might drop it if the singles come in soon. I don't need another twinstrike.

 

Springer and Blitzwing went into my Pile of Loot Saturday night at around 11:30pm.

Now hold on someone might have canceled there ones and he was simply next in line

 

^ I canceled my two pack pre-order, and placed one for the three pack. Hell, I've waited this long, what's another month?

BBTS is usually pretty good, but on these figures they have failed me. I fully expect to find them in a bargain bin before BBTS ships.

 

I recently cancelled my orders for the set of 4 cyberverse Terrorcons(cannot find Hun-Gurrr & the giftset looks good to me) and set of Springer/Blitzwing(went for the 3-pack!)

 

With beast hunters Ultimate Optimus Prime up I wonder how long it'll be before Ultimate Predaking is listed.

 

I could be gravely wrong, but wasn't that Ultimate Beastfire Predakings supposed to be a Target exclusive?

 

Is the disappointment with BBTS not having Springer/Blitzwing in stock solely based on retail stores having them in stock or is it also because other online retailers have already got their shipments in?

 

Both ultimate figures were alleged exclusives but with Prime popping up I assume predaking will follow suit?

 

It's because retail stores have been getting them and BBTS only got part of their order, which BBTS has no control over.

 

I'm ok with waiting with my POL. Who knows? Maybe it will last 2 years.

 

I usually wait until I have enough individual items* in my PoL to make the shipping break down to around $1-$2 per item. Usually closer to $1, but sometimes I get impatient ... So usually 5 - 10 items.

*Counting combined order deals like Springer/Blitzwing as 2, or the upcoming Gen. 4 pack as 4, etc.

 

With all of this new Generations stuff coming down the pike, I'd say I'm more than willing to sit on my PoL as well.

 

Not sure if anyone's interested, but I dumped off my Springer an Blitzwing an decided to wait for Takaras version instead.

 

Yes

 

Gotta say, I wanted to consider all the preorder grumblings to be pretty craven. But I just found Springer at a Long Island Target. No shipping cost, you can vet the paint apps, in and out, kinda can't beat it. BBTS is screwing the pooch on this really.

 

Wrong. Hasbro has screwed BBTS' pooch.

I'm waiting for Hexatron anyway, so I'm not really minding the wait on Springer & Blitzwing... much.
