    Can we at least wait until the order for BBTS goes live before we start talking crap about them? The page right now is just a place holder for when they are allowed to sell, so maybe...alright just maybe the price will go down when the page goes live!

    Have you just joined the party? The crap-slinging began when this whole May-Mayhem started.

    Scalpers, Amazon flukes, BBTS, eBay, this has been going on for a while already.

    Honestly, it's coming to a point where I think I could trade a CW Deluxe Groove for a Botcon '16 Megatron.

    Nope, lurked thread a while and know the game. It is like every exclusive since I got into this hobby. At least it isn't like Matty Collector and their four second sell outs...oh wait! HTS has had three second sell out for SDCC Exclusives! Anyways will be up for a few more minutes until midnight EST to see if I can score Groove!

    It'll be cheaper elsewhere in the morning. Same thing happened with Slinger and Breakneck.

    Gonna grab him from BBTS for now and drop him in my PoL. If I manage to snag one from Amazon, I'll just cancel the BBTS order and let the store credit go towards another preorder in the future.

    I was going to wait for Amazon, but after how much trouble I had getting Slingshot and Wildrider I just went ahead and ordered them from Entertainment Earth. Grabbed a few other things I'd been wanting to make the shipping worthwhile. Now I will finally have a complete G1 team of Protectobots. For anyone wanting to get 2 Grooves, Entertainment Earth doesn't say there is any limit as of right now.

    Friend of mine has a contact at a comic store and ordered two through Diamond, but on the off-chance something gets fucked up I just ordered one through BBTS. If I end up with two it's an easy flip to get my money back. If they show up on Amazon.com at a lower price I'll grab one from there and cancel my BBTS order (the credit will get used). Happy to have him one way or another.

    Thanks for the heads up.

    I did the as same. Only $1 more expensive than Amazon but way cheaper than bbts.
