I think that you guys are right on that. I may just bite on that CW Devastator and call it a day. I can always sell my Walmart G1 reissue from 2018 to offset some of the cost.

 

If you were to get a new Devastator, UW would be preferred due to all the quality improvements, or possibly SDCC version if you like shiny purple chrome.

The DNA Design kit for it is, um, not good. Extremely annoying to deal with and the Mixmaster faux cab is the worst piece of junk they've ever made. The LED replacement head has its own set of issues (not to mention annoying to install if you only want 1 head instead of 2), including wrong color for the clear eye plastic and visor that doesn't sit right.

Perfect Effect kit unfortunately is about impossible to source these days. Edit: Meant PC-06, not PC-07.

Okay you got me there on all those except Grand Max, who is technically a new character and deco

 

Double-crosser is now available for pre-order. Ten dollars!

Transformers War for Cybertron: Earthrise Battle Masters Doublecrosser

 

Double the heads...double the fun...nearly double the price? IDK...I mean I wish i could say I'm surprised, but that extra cheddar seems to be the cost of tax and the extra cost of 'reliability' from BBTS these days.

 

Eh, pass on the single double-crosser, I'm getting the 3 pack... and 10 more snakes

 

Yup. The three pack is definitely a much better deal.

AND FINALLY the ability to order individual Slitherfangs again.

 

Also, BBTS did something super nice for me, I had broken an MMX kit that broke, they allowed me to keep the kit and refunded it in store credit.

 

CW Devastator is back in stock to buy. I just pulled the trigger on one that is listed as substandard. Glad I waited and didn't get the one from TFSource for $299.

 

I heard back. The Rotorstorm shipment was an unexpected early fluke. No such early release is expected for Tigertrack, who will still be released in November.

 

as long as they honor it i don't mind it was an early oopsie

 

And PO'd! The money I save in gas trying to find him will be worth it.

 

I've gotten 7 soundbarriers and 6 slitherfang off amazon for $5.99 each.

 

May the rest of us be so lucky.

 

I just want one of each. Its rare for me to double up on anything. So far I've only done that UW Devastator for combined and bot modes, and two sets of PotP Abominus, one with toy color add-on parts, the other 'toon to go with UW Computron.

 

Just stalk the listing, it comes in and out of stock almost every day

To connect say iron works to omega supreme you need at least two to three ramps or it won't even seat on the ground.

 

Omega is definitely going to be in Bot mode, just to save in ground area. I might do a micro-master city with the others, but in wait and see mode to see how many more are released.

 

Why is Doublecrosser $9.99 when the other two are only $6.99? I could see Soundbarrier being slightly cheaper as it was a figure from last year, but Slitherfang has barely shown up in physical stores, and few people that ordered him from online have gotten him.

Just insane that a tiny little figure like that is $10......about 10 years ago you could a deluxe transformer for that price at peak times of the year give or take a few dollars <_<

 

So I have one figure in my PoL and 7 other that have been on "preorder" for a while, most originally coming in May/June but have had their arrival dates bumped back. My PoL it about to expire, I'd rather wait till they get at least one more thing in.

A while back (whenever they started the "PoLs will automatically ship thing) when I had a similar situation and they replied to say they don't actually force-ship your PoL for another 3 months after it "Expires" and not to worry about it.

Does anyone have any recent experience? I just got the "ship in 7 days" email, and I'd just like to give it another month or so to hope SOMETHING comes in.
