Is that the Hasbro they teamed up with? I thought it was Hasbro US. Just learned something new then.

 

...so you have 4 items with 116+ days left and one item with 90 days that you bought today? Sounds like BBTS is adding time to peoples POL so they aren't forced to ship before Christmas. They did this last year as well. It's nice as it allowing them to ship out stuff for folks who really need it for the holidays, while the rest of us can wait till the dead of winter.

 

From my understanding Hasbro Aisa is separate from the usual talk around BBTS working with Hasbro directly/being restricted on when they list preorders. Hasbro Asia is just the go to for stocking Japanese items outside of Japan. They don't stock Takara Tommy Mall exclusives, though, which is why those are priced higher.

 

My PS-17 Probus preorder has arrived at BBTS from a June expected date.  

 

Probus hit mine too! The only one I still needed of the Combaticons. I haven't had anything in my PoL for 3 months, despite multiple items that have said they were arriving in June and keep getting pushed back. This is by far the longest I have gone with nothing in my PoL. So I won't be shipping this for a while. Will wait and see what else hits. I'd like to ship when FT Tesla drops, but even though that says "November' I have a feeling I won't see it until 2022.

 

I finally found kingdom galvatron and ss86 slag at target so I cancelled those preorders. What a shocker.

 

Probus and Incursus have hit my POL! Now I just need Volatus.

 

Combined form is supposed to be around 12inches.

Transformers "Raiden" Project

 

Does anybody have any idea when Artfire will come instock?

 

Of course not, haha. Not even BBTS knows.



I shipped this tiny pile of loot to hopefully beat the Black Friday rush and because I've waited long enough for Bruticus to be complete!

 

Earthrise Voyager Seeker Two-Pack is back up

Transformers War for Cybertron: Earthrise Voyager WFC-E29 Seeker Two-Pack

 

No sales yet?

 

We're still gonna hear from folks how they're impossible to find, because they can't walk down to their local 150 year old General Store and find them on a shelf.

 

My guess is that mine and everybody else will have theirs cancelled. It's been a long time since we ordered this.

 

Time have changed for Hasbro since the POTP era. They're doing second, even production third runs of high demand figures, sometimes long after their initial retail waves (or lines) have come and gone. They pipe these runs through Pulse, BBTS and other online retailers. It's how people got the Siege Rainmaker trio in the past year or so (through BBTS as well). Omega Supreme went back into production at least twice. Jetfire and Skylynx had two production rounds. And in a round-about-way, the Walmart Headmasters were exactly that too, meant to coincide with the release of Titan-class Scorponok.

There is every reason to think those order will be filled.

 

Hasbro, as far as I am aware, has said nothing about these additional runs.

They don't say it. They just do it. Sometimes they openly announce a new run in partnership with a retailer (CW Devastator). Sometimes they just do it and pre-orders pop up across some/all the major online retailers (Rainmakers, Reflector 3 pack, some of the ER 2 packs, Skylynx, Marvel Legends Retro Rogue and Gambit). Sometimes it's just limited to a new run with a pre-order on Pulse (Omega Supreme, Siege Redwing, Marvel Legends Kang, potentially some of the Walmart WFC exclusives though that may be surplus stock). It's a practice they do for Marvel Legends, GI Joe Classified and Star Wars as well.

 

just got an email from BBTS stating that Selects Artfire will be processing soon!

 

Yeah, just got "Processing Soon" notifications for Artfire, G2 Sandstorm, and the Siege Seeker 3-Pack (Acid, Storm, Ion Storm, and Nova Storm).
