mainly I am ordering from bbts now because here lately I have had crappy experiences buying from ebay and the boards.

Why not? Their customer service is great.

IF and that's a really big IF I decide to actually get these, I'll hold off till TRU does a BOGO sale. Otherwise, they're ugly, cheap, hollow, and overpriced.

I agree with you on the different sku's. I am talking purely from a shelf space standpoint. My local TRU, Target and Walmart all have nothing but the shelf warmers every where. The only place I have seen Leader Class Jetfire was TRU. The TRU setup only has 1 peg for Generations legends figs for my store, 1 peg for the deluxes and then a stack of the Voyagers they cant move. Everything else is AOE stock piles that have been sitting for quite a while and not moved much at all. So with all that unsold stock taking up space I dont have alot of faith in them stocking what I want in a timely fashion, and if they do it probably wont be in large enough quantities. And lastly I dont have to burn up all my truck gas hoping to find all the ones I want for my combinations. The mark up isnt high enough to be worried. Now if I am in the store and see them I will get them then but I dont have to go out of my way to find them.
I went with the extra figures for the Superion setup because I liked the promo photos that used dual Fireflight for arms and dual Alpha Bravos. Its just a combination thing. Just a preference.
I am looking forward to wave 2 and all the Stunticons but the way these limbs allow for so many setups I think I will enjoy the possibilities. Having a squadron of snap-on's will be a lot of fun I have a feeling.

OK, I got a reply back from BBTS about preordering with Paypal. Apparently they can't do preorders with Paypal, but they told me to email them the list of toys I want to preorder and they will let me know when it comes in. Should I?

I like that every figure in all of the waves have even distribution, 2 per case assortment.
Hasbro you've learned….HASBRO ACTUALLY LEARNED!

Except…AoE are separate SKUs with Generations so once retailers are done with the line, they'll just clearance AoE out and it shouldn't have any significant impact on how they stock Generations/Combiner Wars. The bigger issue will be if sales aren't robust enough on Generations, existing inventory of guys like Jhiaxus, Nightbeat, Whirl, Rhinox or maybe even Arcee will be a much bigger impact to retailers stocking Combiner Wars.
Remember, Whirl and Rhinox's release was several months behind at retail due to existing inventory of leftover FoC and Springer Voyagers.
Not sure I see the point in getting extra an extra Alpha and Firefly with Air Raid due in the next wave with the rest of the Stunticons. Especially since this is all new and it is entirely possible less popular figures within that assortment might get marked down later.
In all fairness, I've NEVER seen that kind of mark up from BBTS on a new line before it hits retail. Especially in the case of Transformers, which tend to be fairly easy to get at retail anyway
Eh, just I just think a lot of you making a LOT of undue fuss about this when in a couple months, we'll all be complaining about shelfwarming Silverbolts and Alpha Bravos.
Fallout
huh. moose decepticon is thunderhoof and shark guy is hammerstrike.
KnightHawkke
I'm shocked beyond words BBTS isn't charging 75$ fr the two voyagers..
Exodus
Nice, can't wait till these hit stores…

This one?
Transformers Robots in Disguise Tiny Titan Series 01 – Case of 24 – Transformers Robots in Disguise 2015 RID Tiny Titans
I'm a sucker for anything Super-Deformed, so these will be a must buy for me.
That said, seems like I'll only get Silverbolt in this wave of Voyagers as Prime looks weird. Besides, Henkei Prime still fills the role for me.
Armada_MK
Same Here but i preordered from TFSource and got free shipping alittle better deal then BBTS
Jalaguy
Ooh, they're basically blind-packed Robots Heroes. That's pretty neat.

oh nice loophole

Buy something of equal value to your pre-order that's in stock using Paypal and POL.
Then cancel the items out of your pile for store credit.
When I've done this in the past I usually wait until a couple of days before an item is supposed to drop before I go ahead with this plan.

Hasn't any noticed the RID Tiny Titans line?
Among them are Cliffjumper and Prowl (looking very G1).
flik68
I agree

I preordered them strictly on the basis of what the AOE line has done to store shelf stocking. Retailers cant move the stuff they have, I will be shocked to see them stock the new stuff in January with all that unsold merchandise clogging shelves. We have a new series and line coming and the retailers cant move the junk that they snagged for AOE that no one wants.
So rather then doing it one here two there for months as stores slowly stock this stuff up I opted to bite the bullet and pay the extra $10 or so dollars in markup total for Silverbolt and the 4 bot set of deluxes. I ordered Silverbolt, the 4 deluxe set and 1 extra Alpha Bravo and Fireflight. That gives me options on how I want to setup Superion with various limb combos. Now I don't have to run around hoping to get all of the combiner parts over a several month period. That's my reasoning. In my cost of gas alone in my Silverado I balance right out, not to mention FT Sever and Legacy Tigerzord are also in that Loot Pile with them so they wont be lonely come January to February.

I'm willing to pay BBTS prices when it's mid to late in a line, but here at the start I know I can find the early wave on my lonesome.

Could always wait until Toy Fair in February.
Last year, while we didn't see a few figures until SDCC, we pretty much knew the entire line up for 2014 from Toy Fair reveals, be it on the floor or Hasbro's press material.
