    I think the last time someone asked this the consensus was, "don't" and just order what you need from somewhere else that carries it.

    I order from them quite regularly now. There are some things you must know though. You order through e-mail, sending half your credit card info in one e-mail, and the other half in another e-mail. They charge the total for the merchandise when you place your order, then again for shipping when it ships. They will hold items in your order until all are available (even if they go out of stock before your order ships) and ship once all the items have been released. They cannot cancel orders, or modify them. They are very friendly, and polite, so be the same to them in turn. Here is the ordering info. Oh, and you must have a credit card (Visa or Mastercard).

    That's still a pain the rear end. I just order them from JRS Toyworld or BBTS that way I don't have to mess around or have to worry about anything. If I want the order cancelled, I can cancel it. Also, the amount of money you save ordering from don't really hold water. Once shiping is added on, you might as well order it from a domestic vendor that offers flat rate shipping like JRS does and add other items to your order.

    Yes! Thanks PoweredConvoy. I don't live in the US so it really is cheaper for me to order directly from them especially the exclusives.

    Not really, I mean I saved a considerable amount when I ordered anime Galvatron, Overcharge, and Galvatron II. I think like $60 or something (and that's based on the cheapest sellers). The same will be true when my order of Battle Convoy, Laser Magnus, Twincaster, and Broadcast come in. Too sweet!

    No problem. :)  Ugh, I forget I'm "PoweredConvoy" on this board, and not "Powered Convoy". :mad
