    damnit. My wife preordered metroplex for me for my birthday which is next week, but it says they have no estimated arrival date. I sent her an email and told her to order from bbts instead.

    Well I guess I'll just have to wait then. used 100$ gift card so I didn't have to drop that much cash. "Sigh" oh well. At least The wreckers came the other day. :(

    Only ones that had them were the carriers with huge price mark ups between 160-175. That's to steep for my likings
    The gal I talked too mentioned I took the news pretty well. I told her its cause its a hot toy and I'm sure ppl ordered more than 1 unit to sell it on eBay for double, it happens.
    Now that ppl are ordering from BBTS, I'm sure things are gonna slow down processing orders wise. So I'm just gonna say F it, it'll get here when it gets here and ill treat tomorrow like any other day.

    Just give it a couple of days. Sometimes they don't get their entire shipment in. And it's not like this is an online exclusive so this won't be your only chance.

    Meh... I'll wait a bit longer and hope I can get it here, but eventually I'll have to change my delivery address given I'll be going back to school soon... That's the part that frustrates me.

    Amazon's paying attention to people cancelling their orders. I was upgraded from 5-8 day free shipping to 1-day shipping after chatting with a rep. Most of the reviews for Metroplex are actually people claiming to cancel and by from BBTS or HTS.

    Dunno. Looks suspicious, especially the low price. And Iron Man 3? WTH does that have to do with TF Prime Beast Hunters? Doesn't help that they're using stock photos of Prowl so that doesn't tell us much.

    It seems to be swtiched with a listing for one of the Iron Man Assemblers. There's a 'transformers' listing with the name and picture of that figure for the price of a Prime Dx, though which link will send you which figure is anybodies guess.

    Tempted to order this, but the mixed listing is a tad discouraging. If the description of the item at least had Prowl's details I probably would jump on it right away.

    Had regular Metroplex pre-ordered for $129. Canceled that order because it just wasn't worth it. BBTS is cheaper anyways.

    I just ordered it. What the hell? For 10 bucks and prime shipping, I'll find out. Worst case I send it back. I took screen shots in case it changes.
