I think they should contact you - by sending an email with a link.
They operated the same way with the Fans Toys Insecticons and postage costs.

I am only guessing though, so anything is possible.

 

Ah, great. I had to check as I lose track of these things, but I indeed have them preordered with Bombusbee.

 

TCP for the win

 

Yeah, except they'll be charging roughly $60 over what Bombusbee is.

And if only ShowZ would reveal their price already....  

 

I’m excited for the adventure that is my first bombussee purchase.

 

Shipping included?

 

Shipping is $15-$25.

 

Man, Bombusbee needs to pick a lane, small discount on the Insecticons, then paying out the ass for the Dinobots, then a good deal on Soundwave. I'd preorder more there if they had some kind of consistent pricing and shipping costs.

 

Unless that's final, I have a feeling it might be more. I am guessing 40 ....

 

Yes, I agree with this. They need to stabilise their policies/methods. This will give people more confidence to order from them.

 

That's what the pre-order page says but we'll see. Wouldn't be the first time they switched things up last second.

 

Yeah, 15 just sounds too low. It's like they copied and pasted that info from somewhere else   Or that's shipping for the casettes.

TFS Express is also charging $160 for the bot before shipping. I don't yet know how much they will charge for shipping this guy, but based on other products, it can't be less than 40, and most likely around 50 bucks.

 

I dont doubt that. And that's why I'll just buy from the states from TCP with no tax, free shipping, and rewards for discount coupons. Even despite the 'premium price' over those overseas, I dont need to worry about it getting lost or damaged. All in it's likely a 40-50 price from overseas - which is not worth it to me. But to each their own!

 

I've bought over 150+ items from Chinese sellers and I never lost even a single one. If a shipment is lost, I'd just file a Paypal dispute, and yeah Chinese sellers will provide replacements as well although you'll probably have to wait for your next shipment to get it.

40 (savings) * 150 = 6000. That's a ton of extra bots I am getting.

But I agree, to each their own.

 

i noticed bombusbee have virtus much cheaper too   with acoustic wave and shipping ontop which should be about $25 it still works out £60 odd cheaper ( $80 odd ) thats shocking   £189 plus about £7 shipping at omegalock ...too late for any of the fanstoys figures but i'm considering canceling the xtb figures with omegalock and might not order anything else from them   they were pretty much matching china prices until they got bullied into upping them , i had stopped buying from china sellers and just went with omegalock/tfs express because their prices were matching china sellers  

pretty sure some members here said they have not been hit with customs receiving figures from bombusbee

 

the last couple times I’ve needed/was owed replacement parts…. My us based family retailer never did anything and I had to contact manufacturers myself. Got the parts. Was left wondering why I was paying more just to be so loyal

 

JUST TO BE FIRSTTT!!!!!!   It's a legit excuse by the way.
Nowadays, some Western retailers will just tell you to contact XTB/Fans Toys directly. It's really just Pass Go Collect 200 for these retailers. No extra value added.

Oh I forget, Western retailers also will call you Family/Member for an extra 40/50 bucks a pop. Western people just eat that stuff!!!

 

It actually depends on the manufacturer. Some of them would rather you contact them directly, rather than the seller.

 

I have had five separate deliveries/figures so far from Bombusbee and have never been hit with any taxes.
Everything has worked out much cheaper than ordering from within the UK.

However, for me, that feeling of assurance/confidence you get when ordering from the UK is still lacking, despite being thoroughly satisfied every time.

 

yeah there is that but seeing the price difference is making me re-evaluate where i buy from

"edit" and with that i just pre ordered ft chomp ( they are down to 2 now ) , cerebros and rig from bombusbee will be canceling my omegalock pre orders soon , luckily i have gone with bombusbee for the tapes because omegalock had sold out , going to keep my virtus pre order because of xtbs spotty qc recently but might cancel the other 3 xtb pre orders

"edit again   " actually i'm going to keep my omeglock pre-orders and just sell them once i have them i will make my money back plus a few extra £'s but i will not be buying anymore from them such a shame
