    Mine finally shipped today.

    To all of you who are sitting there saying you think it's ridiculous of the rage, and people complaining or going crazy and bitching. Who is to say all of us are doing that? Who says we aren't just legitimately stating we just feel it sucks we have to wait? Who said everyone who is posting they are a bit annoyed they have to wait is freaking out or raging or is thinking they are so self entitled it should ship right away? Not all of us are freaking out just cause we post we are a a bit annoyed at a delay. Some of us are perfectly calm and ok with it and DO understand it and are just saying "Oh, well waiting longer sucks..." It CAN be just a statement that yeah, It's annoying and it sucks. Not all of us who are stating that are freaking out and raging...

    If someone who has Tigertrack preordered could ship their stuff that'd be great, I'd really like for him to get in stock now.

    Tigertrack is Neo. A system anomaly that refuses to go away. I bet we get MP Prowl before we get our preordered TT.

    Me too. I've had mine on preorder for a while. Sideswipe and Alert are both on my shelf, but that yellow is so damned sexy. Whatever happens, you're not the only one waiting for that availability email.

    Not trying to start anything, but what's special needs about Metroplex? It's just another package that needs to be shipped, right? I doubt their profit margin is any higher if they sold 100 of these vs lots of other things. Just because it's a giant box? Think more the fact they can only get ups to pick up so many a time plays more against BBTS than anything else.

    Yup, that link was posted previously (I think by me?), but it may have gotten lost amidst all the shipping/waiting talk that's taken up much of the past week.

    Oh, I'm sorry. I read this thread regularly and I must have missed it.
    Just wanted to throw it out there, so people can keep an eye on it if they're still hunting for one.

    Larger than normal box size does require extra time and packaging.
    And when BBTS contacts UPS or USPS for a pickup if they have a large amount of packages they wouldn't just send a truck - they would send a cargo container, usually a 20' long one (one of the short ones).

    Grabbed a SDCC 2013 Transformer/GI Joe Jetfire/Skystriker Set on BBTS late last night. Couldn't believe it came in stock! Would love to grab the Boba/Han SW Celebration Set :)

    Well... they could pull a FunPub and toss Metroplex in a box with some stickers that have his name on it to seal said box... that would work gloriously... right?
