    That's what I don't want to hear. I know they won't say that but they may say the kinder midwest version of that LOL.

    Unless they are getting slammed with questions about it, I doubt they'd be rude over it. They'd either not know if they are getting it or just say it should be up soon (and not give the date).

    I called WM and target looking for stuff, and you can tell when a worker is tired of answering the same question.

    Doesn't matter. They are getting paid to give you that info.

    This is why work ethic in America mostly sucks.

    Just place my GX-88 preorder on Taobao
    Here's a search result of sellers offering preorder deposits for items that ship to the USA. Keyword used was 超合金魂gx88 . I would stick to to the lower priced preorder deposits of 300 yuan (about $45 USD).

    I usually go with sellers with a rating of 5 diamonds and higher and/or a gold medal (gold sponsored). There's a thread here Buying Transformers on Taobao

    I went with this seller:

    So I called (nice guy was on the phone) and he checked and he didn't see anything, he said when the japanese retailers sellout sometimes that's when they get the authorization to put stuff out for PO. He said just keep checking for newsletter in your email box.

    BBTS is neither and we know Bluefin is bringing Dairugger over for domestic distro. It won't hurt to ask BBTS when it'll go up for preorder.
