    ^ It's be a shame if they gave up on the revamped TMNT Classics designs. Was hoping they'd make at least an updated Splinter and Shredder to kinda complete the main 8 characters, barring oddballs like April or Casey Jones. Speaking of which, I still need to open my four turtles. :D 

    Wish BBTS would hurry up with their Wings of Uranos and X-2 Hoist/Trailcutter upgrade sets. I'ma wanna ship my PoL already!

    Man you are scaring me. They recently shipped out my $1500 PoL in three boxes. It's sitting in customs but now I am really worried about my figures and boxes.

    BTW, these guys are also very posable. Here is a couple of pics I took WAY back.

    Well on my fort maxx POL, there was definitely damage caused due to shit packing. You can tell cause the fort max box was indented and so was the MP box. So one box sat on another, got hit and they indented each other. On my my most recent POL the MP box was indented but I think it came like that from the warehouse and not in shipping. The same with the TFC figure. It looks like some one dropped something super heavy on it, and broke the accessory in it. Instead of grabbing a new box, they sent it anyway. There is no way that much damage could have been done inside a shipment box.

    Let me know your experience. But for me, when you have Fort Maxx, he should be individually wrapped separate from the rest of the items. With BBTS for me, they do put bubble wrap around the inside of the shipping box, but not between the toy boxes. In the past they were very good to wrap or pack individual pieces together. Now I think because they are falling behind in how fast they ship, they rush the package job.

    This is of course only in my experience. Unfortunately I have had multiple and continuing bad experiences with them. Granted they were fixed by Client Service on their end when the product was faulty. However, I am never sure what to do or say about beat up boxes, especially when it is for a figure that is long ago sold out. I rather have the good figure inside the box, then to return the whole thing and lose out on the figure.

    So I would love to see your experience with it. Hopefully it is a good one.

    For me, as soon as CP, AcesToyStore or Toy Dojo get a no upfront payment Preorder policy up, I will shift all business there. I have yet to have issues with them. Unfortunately with all of the MP releases and 3rd Party releases I don't have the money available to pay now for something 7-9 months away.

    Per the Uranos third party thread, the Wings sets have started processing for some people.

    Back on topic, I like it! I was about to post the same thing. Of course the email came 5 minutes after the email saying my POL had shipped. Doh!

    Oh, huh, the SXS A-03J upgrade set for the Takara version of Classics Blitzwing dropped today too. Totally wasn't expecting that.

    BBTS now has loose figure lots for sale. Join me in scratching my head at how the hell they come up with the prices for some of these lots and where they get the nerve to charge that much for the figures. Especially loose. And incomplete.

    These lots are interesting because they're ungraded so you don't even know if it has all the items or if they're partially damaged. Those are very tempting prices, but if these are returned stock, who knows what stress marks or cracks are present. Good luck to whoever buys it.

    I'm damn tempted but luckily I have a little more control. Had I seen that a week or two ago...
