    Awesome! I just ordered the second Overbite I wanted. I didn't think I would be able to get another one. And I preordered God Neptune just in case. Still not sure I really want it. But I don't know how I'll feel in October. I can always cancel if I change my mind.

    And both Overbite #2 & God Neptune are because of my love of Rippersnapper. Overbite is the only one I really like from the God Neptune set but I'm a sucker for combiners so I'm sure I'll love it. Even though right now I'm indifferent.

    ...wouldn't Hasbro Pulse want to list theirs first so they sell out before TFSource can sell any?

    Do you think Pulse will delay God Neptune for a stupid sleeve this time?

    Also Hasbro Pulse SUCKS! They don't have a "send Paypal invoice when item is in stock" option. I couldn't preorder with them because my credit card couldn't be authorized because I don't have enough money in my account. So I went with The Chosen Prime. I was chatting with somebody on pulse & told them I preordered on another site that offer the Paypal option & suggested they do the same. She said she would forward the suggestion to the right people. So maybe they'll start doing that in the future.

    Yeah you would think. But the fact that they both listed Overbite and Tentakil in stock on the same day or the next? It does make me wonder if some sort of working agreement is in effect.

    It's just a coincidence that TFSource got theirs today. I promise, nobody at Pulse is watching to see when TFS gets something in and lists it. It seems they just got all of their preorders shipped out, it was only a matter of time until they listed the remainder, and alongside God Neptune preorders sounds like the perfect time.

    Man, I hooked up a bot and everything to catch wind as soon as the page changed, only to have my e-mail register the message as spam so I didn't see it till six hours later. Yeesh! :mad: 

    Oh well, I managed to score Overbite at least. Is Tentakil still on the waiting list or did it already sell out?

    Apparently Tentakil sold out already.
    Good thing I nabbed both this morning.

    Tentakil also had a lower stock number than Overbite.

    Yeah, I figured that much. I might just nab a second Overbite and use that to trade whenever anybody wants to get rid of their Tentakil. Not expecting any miracles though.

    I know of a few people that were picking up extra Tentakills. I was one of them.

    Got plans to resell them or anything? If you do, I'll see if I can make it worth your while.

    Yeah, I'm not looking to make a mint or anything. I picked up an extra because I had seen a few reports of issues, and wanted to be covered. Mine is fine, so happy to help someone else out.

    Help out you absolutely did. And good call with the double-dipping now that you mention the QC.
    As lenient as Hasbro's consumer care department usually is with their repair/replacement cases, it seems they and Tomy's can't seem to decide who's in charge of the imports. Each time I called one, I got recommended the other, so you're kind of on your own if you end up with a dud like I did with my first copy of Gulf.

    It's called paying for convenience. Online shopping, for me, is all about convenience. It's why I continue to buy from BBTS despite their slower ship times and higher prices. I get Gundam, Transoformers, 3rd Party, and many, many other things in one box, from one shipper. Not a fan of having a ton of packages from a dozen different places hit my doorstep.

    Honestly glad for you guys. I don't need to have boxes lying around considering that I literally work at a facility that works with boxes, and as an employee I get perks like using shipping boxes to ship stuff if I need to. While I save big boxes for storage or shipping things, if it's a small box I just source it from work with employee perks. So yes, getting multiple, small boxes from a place like Pulse is literally more of a hassle for me than it is a benefit, as it all just goes in the recycle bin in the end.

    It's kind of funny, I just did the math based on my past orders Nautilator (Times four) and Super Megatron (for Snap Trap), and against the God Neptune set, after state taxes, it's $14.80 cheaper for God Neptune than the individual counterparts.

    So, win-win for me. I've got Nautilator and I'll have God Neptune, the plan worked.

    All are sold out at Hasbro Pulse except for Overbite.
