    from tfsource?

    heres the story... i had 2 seperate preorders, both orders had 1 MP12 and 1 MP13... i emailed tfsource, to see if they can rearrange the preorders so that 2 MP12s will ship together and the 2 MP13s will ship together...

    they did so with no issues...

    a day or two before mp12s become in stock, i see my 2x mp12 preorder - and the preorder price reflects that of post increase (ordered 6-11-2012) and i believe the price went up at around 6-15-2012...

    sorry if i posted this in the wrong forum

    I _thought_ the price was $90 and that the price increase was only for Soundwave. BBTS started at $84 and never raised prices.

    MP-12 actually dropped at BBTS... the original price was around $120 at BBTS (but with a very clear disclaimer that it wasn't a final price).

    No clue as for TFSource. I don't like preordering from them so I don't track it, sorry.

    thanks for that input but im still pretty sure they raised their prices since the initial preorder... ugh... this is so frustrating... especially since tfsource doesnt seem like they want to respond to my emails...

    I was waiting for preorders forever. The first price I saw for mp-12 was well over $100. Around $150 at first, which went to $120, then $100, then $90ish.

    I locked in the Amazon MP-12 for $84.01 shipped airmail from RK. Probably doesn't help you at all, but I know they hiked that one significantly since I paid for it.

    I think it's always been $89.95. I preordered when it first was put up on their site. The cheapest was BBTS for $84.95.

    No, he was definitely higher than that when it first went up. (There were no pictures yet). I remember because I was overjoyed that the price went down to about half of what it was originally, so I ordered a second one.

    Yeah, it had a note that said not to use the "Pay now" option, because the price wasn't set in stone yet. This was in May/June.
