    I mean you're not wrong and I get that, but I had multiple opportunities to buy it for $99 from US retailers, which I could have combined with other stuff for free shipping. Basically I didn't want it bad enough back then, and buying it for essentially the same price now won't push me over. On the flip side though, they really have some killer deals on their other products if you're looking!

    Shitty so far, only good deal was Fans Hobby Monsterbots and even then it has 60 dollars shipping. Doubt TFS Express or Kapow will do much this year either so its a wash out for UK buyers unless we want to pay through the nose on US site import fees.

    ^Well I'm glad I checked again, that additional 35% off made it worth it for me. Trailer ordered!

    TF Safari has a decent sale going (bought Rotor and Furrow and Skycrusher) and Agabyss has 10% off everything, even pre-orders.

    Typically BBTS adds a few more items as the weekend goes by...

    I am VERY surprised no sale at A3U yet...was kinda hoping for something there....

    I'm still waiting on that mail order bride I bought on black Friday about a decade ago. By the time she gets here she'll be a wrinkly old tart. Thanks a lot, xtransbot.

    Agabyss is actually doing 10% site-wide including pre-orders, but have a lot of stuff for 20% off as well.

    Here's the 20% off page link:

    Shipping is $60 for EMS. Came out to be $250 ish


    I can see how the $49.99 sticker caused a lot of confusion. Below it is the $159.99 sticker as well

    Guess I’ll hope against hope for some good cyber Monday sales. Currently my sole black friday pickup will be the dx9 gabriel deal from bbts whenever that comes instock.

    Yep, so far there is nothing that jumps out at me that I do not already have. You know, I suppose if you did not buy anything the whole year....you could save all of your money and get items at a slight discount in Nov/Dec. However, in most cases you would be giving up months of time spent with the figures in hand up until that point. So, is the discount worth it? Not to me. Black Friday is just a marketing campaign to increase their incomw the last few months of the fiscal year to make sales look way better.

    I chewed on it at midnight last night, figured I'd see what else was on sale today. Since the answer to that seems to be nothing, I bit the bullet on the last pre-order for a TFM Havoc set from Agabyss for 10% off. Also pre-ordered GI Joe Classified Zartan and Cobra Troop for a few dollars savings versus the BBTS pre-order I just cancelled.

    My BF haul:
    TFM Havoc set -Agabyss
    GI JOE Classified Zartan -Agabyss
    GI JOE Classified Trooper -Agabyss
    McFarlane Mortal Kombat Sub-Zero Bloody Frozen Version -Agabyss
    Red Hulk - Target
    Scourge TF (Pre-order) -Target (Will they fill it? Probably not, but I needed free shipping and a $29.99 item for the BOGO50%.)

    I'm sure you already know but it's up now and as disappointing as ever. Best deal (IMO) is the MG FA Unicorn Ver KA for $62 and it's not a transformer lol

    looks like Toyhax has a %20 off their labels but nothing for their stages, so nothing really compelling there for me.
