    I got my order in on Amazon already, nothing special except that I live in the UK and it accepted the order. Woo!
    Pretty shitty terms for a shared exclusive, Hasbro won't let them open pre-order until September OR mention the price. Shared exclusive, but at what cost?

    Bro you should of chose FREE Super Saver Shipping instead! it's a little slower on occasions but shit its FREE!! I got my AMAZON Unicron 2days after ordering that thing! But other non-toy related stuff has taken up to 5business days.

    Eh. I was able to get a pre-order for it through Amazon. That will be the cheaper route probably.

    I can't believe BBTS went in on this shared exclusive. Amazon is known for cost-slashing and BBTS definitely is not; and to top it off, Amazon gets a huge jump time-wise and boasts free shipping.

    I'm failing to see how there's going to be demand for these once BBTS finally gets to open their pre-orders, unless Amazon's supply is very limited...

    Well looks like Amazon is out again, so I'll wait for BBTS. They've already said on their Facebook that it should have a price comparable to the Amazon one, though they didn't give an exact number. I'd say $69.99 is likely if they don't match the Amazon price.

    I'm trying to figure out why amazon can take preorders now but BBTS can't until sept 10th and can't even say a price right yet..

    Bruticus is back up on amazon right now for pre order. I just ordered him. They are limiting him to 1 per customer ..

    Quick question though If you preorder on amazon , do they take the money right away or do they wait to charge you when they ship out the item ?

    Hrm... considering the Generations version is listed at 105 bucks... and the SDCC was listed at a whopping 200... what are the odds they'll keep him at 60? Especially if Amazon runs out of the preorders by September...

    Heh...yeah they wouldn't even need to have been close to selling out before that price got jacked.

    I love BBTS been shopping with them for over 12 years now. But their pricing....
