    That's surprising. Still not happy about their delayed shipping practices but I may give them one more chance.

    They don't process on the weekends. I usually hit ship on Friday so they will have it out by Monday or Tuesday.

    I'm not talking about the Refraktor 3-pack, I'm talking about mass-release Refraktor himself. I got the set of 3 (him, Red Alert, and Brunt) processed long ago, but my extra 2x Refraktor still haven't been processed. (Same with Springer, for that matter.) If it wasn't for the fact that soooo much stuff has been released in the past 6 weeks or so I'd have bailed on BBTS and bought them elsewhere already, but I'm getting close regardless.

    You are smarter than I. I should have done that after they put up the weekend sales. I will wait for the Monday sale and perhaps ship then.

    It's all I can do not to hit Add to Cart on Omega. After buying Ecto Prime, I was unprepared for him to hit this soon. But with the way BBTS has been slow processing orders lately, I'm debating on whether or not to wait until he hits on Amazon or Pulse.

    I looked in their FAQ and terms and could find no such thing. I did find something that stated that people found to be abusing preorders may be required to pay the full amount.

    They also mentioned they use a "complex algorithm" to fullfil preorders, but no mention of canceling affecting fulfillment.

    Pretty fishy (sorry) that as soon as a lot of people start asking about the Seacons, BBTS is all, "we'll let ya know, btw here's Omega Supreme!"

    I actually forgot I still had Omega on preorder because he wasn't due till October, then alluva sudden I get the PayPal notice that I paid $159 to BBTS

    Oh well, might be a blessing since about the only extra I'll even allow myself next month is Captain Planet Eater

    That's what I'm waiting for.
    I got metroplex, Grand Maximus and Trypticon for full price, so I'm willing to wait and see how low it's going to go

    Some of the local comics shops still carry unopened Trypticon toys. Not very popular I guess. Also, not sure how to tell if it has running hip fix change or not. $70 is not so bad at BBTS. Legends version is guaranteed to have the hip fix change and, um, different colored screws.

    My son normally likes dinosaurs but he gave Trypticon a hard pass.

    I most agree 3 business days and they still haven’t finished “processing” my box of loot I approved to ship

    I mean I get delays during the holidays but...we're a few months out from the really cool stuff still (like the December Siege releases and such). They don't even have MP-44 in yet.

    Omega Supreme is still in stock after almost 3 days.

    Titans usually warm warehouses for a while. Unless it's Metroplex, who seemed to go fsat.

    Especially since there's almost 6 thousand people looking at paying 600 bucks for Unicron in the near future. Surely there's at least some of them that realize they can buy the available-for-roughly-a-year any time for the next several months.

    Commonly available mass market toy versus limited quantity high-end collection centerpiece...

    What a decision!

    I'm going for the commonly available mass-market toy, honestly.
