    Nope, sorry. Actually I tried Bluefin (with USA proxy shipping service) but it reserved the sum on my card and yet said the purchase didn’t go through and Star Saber was still in cart. Couldn’t get in touch with their customer service for days so I had to contact my bank to cancel. Kind of scary when it’s 400 dollars. D4toys has never done something like that.

    Haha lucky you didn’t end up buying eight. I mean it’s a gorgeous bot but that’s a bit much.
    Nope, this Sunday, then three stressful days trying to fix it. Not a peep from them. Kind of surprised actually but no matter, I’ve sharpened my teeth for the D4toys feeding frenzy when the rest of the world share 200 copies.

    i'm assuming whatever quantity hasn't sold on Bluefin will probably get reallocated to D4. That's what i would do anyways. good luck!

    Taken, you’re a lifesaver. Safe, stress free, and BBTS have much to learn from the Ebay masters because that’s comparatively modest scalping ;) 
    It’s a wonderful feeling to have him and Megatron on the way.

    Glad he was much easier to get than Burst Tarn.

    Having more and not being only available online through D4 certainly increased the ease of getting one.

    I wouldn't be surprised if D4 sells out right away.

    I have a severe case of FOMO with the BBTS preorder. Thanks to the current economic situation I would rather not spend an extra $99 if I can avoid it...

    ...on the other hand I don‘t have to pay right away...

    ...decisions decisions.

    Snagged a BBTS order so all set.

    Is it to early to start speculation for the Victory Leo alternate color scheme?

    It would be strange if they didn’t make a black Victory Leo.

    Me, I’m waiting for the inevitable Nemesis Prime. Hope they do a Deadlock out of Drift too.

    I caved and ordered from BBTS. Now Flame Toys can go on and announce the preorder on D4Toys tomorrow.

    Oh, what a small price to pay for peace of mind. :eek:

    Hell. Yea.

    D4 has a P.O. up. Bonus parts are 2 add on weapons. Not too crazy in my opinion. Msrp is $400. D4 starts shipping in April so everyone else will be June/July?? Lol

    Every time I want to order from D4, I'm reminded of the crazy shipping cost of $77.50 USD to Canada...

    Any Canadians order from D4 before? Do you get slapped with duty and brokerage fees?

    That’s the same price to ship to the USA. They have to do a higher standard of shipping because of the price of the item. Also, cant say what the world will look like next April at this rate, but I’ll gladly take the more guaranteed delivery time with FedEx than god knows who might be handling mail in the USA next year. Lol.
