Stay tuned for even more new preorders in the coming days and weeks. Thanks! Joel & The BBTS Crew www.bigbadtoystore.com
Man, these preorders are getting more and more expensive!! What's the deal? Why is Nemesis Breaker 15 bucks over retail? A few bucks here and there is understandable, but almost 60% price increases is outrageous. That's just one of the examples... what gives? Thanks Chris
It's too bad the Road Warriors don't each come with shoulderpads or I would've gotten them. I have Hart Foundation 3 pack with Jimmy Hart and it's the only wrestling figs I own. I'd love to have other tag teams like British Bulldogs and LoD.
As he says, he's ordering the cases effectively for those figures (1 or 2 per case at a guess) so he thinks the rest will sit for a while. I can understand why he's done it. Minicons Wave 4: Backblast vs. Sureshock Blastcharge vs. Highwire Scrap Iron vs. Grindor While the 2nd half of the 3 new VS packs are obvious - Street Action Team or Energon Perceptor as Autobots - the 1st half is less so. But an educated guess says Space Team: Skyblast, Astroscope and Payload. And why are the new Minicons showing up as a basic 3 pack ? Have Hasbro gone cold on the idea of minicons again and that's why no new ones were shown at Toyfair ?
I am not going to get one of every Duke but I will do it for Snake Eyes in Sigma 6. Also I'll get Hi-Tech and Destro and that Air BAT. Still deciding on Cobra Commander I heard his chest is very sensitive to touch and reverts to battle damage too easily.
