    It’s almost like the whole cross country “brand unification” thing has worked, since people are now seeing these entities that use the same designers and factories to make the same toys as one and the same.

    Thats true, but as some of us have discussed on the BBTS topic, its not really sitting quite right with us that the reason for them being taken down was because they're waiting for the green light from Hasbro to put them up......about a month later now still nothing where other sites have since had them and number 3 and 4 up for pre order. The first 2 are already out of stock pre order wise on Pulse and TF Source. So if BBTS for whatever reason pulls out or never follows through with it, me and others are screwed because I'm not gonna pre order the others on other sites if I'm going to be missing the first 2.

    I didn't pre-order from BBTS, but if I did I would still be placing a pre-order for the others somewhere else. First batch ships in Jan, second doesn't ship until Feb. One should definitely know if BBTS is going to be coming through by then or not and if not, pre-orders can be cancelled.

    How long did the BBTS pre-order even last? I got an email from them saying the preorder had started, checked about a day later, and found that the page was 404'ed.

    Thats pretty accurate to what happend. And I checked my order just now on my account. I pre-ordered within mins of getting the email saying they were up and that was on Aug 6, its nearly Oct.....so roughly two months now actually and they're still "waiting" for Hasbro to give the green light while others have had them and future waves up?

    Except it’s pretty easy to see that certain figures are imports because even hasbro labels them as Takara tomy imports. Again, ignorance (especially willfully) is not an adequate excuse for stupidity

    Agreed. I have no idea why someone reads “Takara-Tomy Mall Special Edition Exclusive” and then angrily reacts because they can’t buy this at Target at regular msrp pricing...

    Looks nice, but unless it goes for nearly the same price the other CW style combiners go for, then I have no interest in paying that much for such a small combiner

    They were limited for pre-order until end of august I think so even if you add them to cart it shows out of stock in checkout. Wave 2 of the seacons will be unavailable for pre-order end of this month too.

    Yes they are, try to add the first two to your cart and check out, it won’t let you because there was a cut off date for preordering on pulse

    They look....sparse. Skinny legs.  Colors are nice though.

    They probably have to have their orders in to TT by a certain date in order to get the right amount of product.

    you do realize they have to order their allotment from takara right? so they need to know how many to order, hence the cutoff. its actually pretty smart considering these are imports and not domestic hasbro items

    Its alright bro. Why do we need to constantly remind these ignorant collectors every damn single time they bring up the bloody issue of price and the fact that they think these are domestic Hasbro releases?!!!
