    That's because that's all they received instead of Springer and Blitzwing. A metric ton of 30th Bees. It's like they're the Walmart of the online retailers. Which considering how bad Hasbro has forked them over, is slowly becoming true. I would have been screaming at Hasbro fulfillment because they have GOT to be losing a lot of orders due to the B/M stores getting these in.

    Personally, I'm still waiting because even after shipping in my POL (which thankfully is less than 180 days still) it's gonna be cheaper than expending the gas and time to hunt in store (as well as Target's markup). I'm still really aggravated. I know it's not their fault, but it's frustrating to have to play this game all the time of who is gonna have an item first.

    Great mold, I just have no use for another BB. I'd recommend jumping on Sandstorm if you have any doubts for finding him in store. 1200 units now in about a week. Not bad at all.

    You and me both. Manufacturers/distributors drag their feet and BBTS pays the price.

    I hope it does not come anytime before August. I just spent 6000 bucks on our upcoming family vacation trip to Asia.

    And yet somehow the majority of people on these boards think it's wrong to blame Hasbro for distribution.

    I'm not saying it's JUST Hasbro, but clearly Hasbro could be doing a hell of a lot better.

    So all they RECEIVED was the 30th anniversary Bee that is still on preorder? Gotcha :thumb  Man people will jump at any chance to bash Hasbro. They give us new awesome 30th anniversary figures but screw them cause they didnt ship enough to BBTS. Paid $23 each for mine at Target with no hunting so I cancelled that preorder long ago.
