    I got excited for a moment thinking it was the upgrade for TM2 Megatron but you probably mean another one right?

    Sounds like they got some DNA design stuff in then, but still didn’t get the reissue Siege Galaxy Upgrade Optimus Prime kit with the shipment as I am still waiting on it.

    It’s been re-stocked overseas since ~12/1/22. Hmmm.

    I really don't know what to do with BBTS' ETAs anymore. I don't even think they try to make them accurate anymore. Out of my 29 preorders, 28 of them say either January 2023 or 1st quarter 2023 (including 3 I just preordered in the past week). And last month, ~24 of them said December 2022 or 4th quarter 2022 (and nothing dropped). LOL.

    (Mostly Beastboxes or 3rd party TFs, FYI.)

    They only update if they get official word or the month passes. I got an email today that they heard an item was moved to this month. Would be nice if the official sources could give better estimates. Not sure if it goes all the way back to them, though, or if it's shipping making the dates miss.

    Yeah, I get part of it. But like, some brand-new Beastboxes just went up for preorder yesterday, and they have them ARRIVING this month. These things aren't even widespread in China yet; no chance at all BBTS is getting them in January.

    Anyone might know about this issue, I want to pre-order an item that ships the same month my CC expires. If it ships late, like a month late or something, what would happen to my pre-order? Would they ask me to update the card, or cancel my order?

    Update your card yourself. Keep in mind that updating your payment in the account menu does NOT update current preorders and in stock orders so you’ll have to go through those individually and update them too

    I use pay pal so I only have to keep up with it. It’s backed up by my PayPal card in case I don’t have the funds.

    BBTS is way behind everyone else for DNA stuff. Months is not usual for them.

    Alright, thanks. Hopefully when it comes up, I'll have my new card in hand before it ships.

    There is a button to update all your existing pre-orders. Go into the "Preorders" tab and click:

    Got "expected to arrive soon" emails for the new wave of transformer reaction figures. After that if the new legacy stuff comes in that'll pretty much clean out my pre-order list and I'm going to attempt to cut back on transformers purchases beings I'm one away from 1,1000 figures and just starting to run out of out room for them. I used to just buy nearly entire waves beings I had the money, but now I think I'm just gonna cut it down to a couple figures a wave I like or just ones that were a big part of my childhood like Beast Wars and the new Armada figures.

    I mentioned on here a few times when people were posting about the new Legacy Evo figures coming instock early and other people not getting emails about theirs coming soon that I had canceled a lot and still got a lot of emails. I went from pre-ordering nearly the entire first wave of Legacy Evo and just cutting it down to Hot Shot, Leo Prime, and the core figures, so I think I did a pretty good start right there. The ReAction figures I think I'll still get because I got a couple just to see if I liked them, than had an idea of just keeping them in their package and using them to decorate my wall, so far I like how its turning out and would like to keep filling my wall up for that.

    You can update your payment method, then on the preorder page there is a feature that lets you update your card or addresses

    Reaction prototype Unicron just dropped.

    I thought it was $20 when I ordered but shows $24.

    It was definitely $24. I ordered as soon as it went up and I remember questioning the cost and if I really wanted it. Impulse Control - 0 Mine dropped this morning too

    For some reason I thought it was the same price as the others which at the time I thought was cheap for the size difference. I kinda regret not ordering 2. Would like to keep one sealed for novelty factor. Probably won't open this one unless the card is trashed somehow.
