I just shipped my giant pile of loot because of this.

I was waiting...but Omega Sentinels wait for no one.

[El Duque]

That blows. Oh well what's a couple of more weeks.

[SentinelA]

Good on my money, bad for my patience! However did you expect them to ship it today?

True. But the inital pre-order stated Sept., so really the Oct. date could be anytime in the month.

Says early October... Granted, it said September before so it could be wrong, but I would assume if they're specifying "early" they have some updated info leading them to believe it'll be in the next week or so.

Quite possible, heres hoping for the best.

Good news:

I guarantee this will be worth the wait.

[Gutter Bunny]

they just know im more likely to buy more if i have to wait to ship

[rpetras]

Grrrr I have a BIG pile of loot that's been waiting for UM ... sorry city commander.

I have a freaking voltron waiting! That ain't right!

[robofreak]

I have a freaking voltron waiting! That ain't right!

You and me both. I've got a Sky Lynx and Voltron waiting for City Commander to show up. I can't even begin to describe how anxious I am for them to show up.

[rpetras]

That, and I'm trying to figure out a way out of the @$$ beating from my wife when a 5x5 box of junk shows up at the door.

[DavidT]

.

Yeah, this sucks a lil' but I shipped my P.o.L. anyway cuz my Omega Guardian is not gonna sit around and wait for anyone. Neither is my Voltron


.

[JaZzTaStIc]

hmm, thats not so bad then. i just brought a classic prime and magnus 2 pack for pretty cheap and since i'll be selling the prime (as i already have him) magnus works out even cheaper

and this news gives it more time to arrive, the last thing i want is for city commander to get here and i don't have a magnus....

plus i still need to pick up some g1 shoulder rockets too.

BlackMagnus found out about a little change in plans by site sponsor BigBadToyStore, and City Commander Upgrade Set provider Fans Project.

According to the updated pre-order page for the Fans Project City Commander set, the set will be arriving to the store in Early October rather than September which was the previous release date.

Are we looking at a few weeks here, or will we see an even longer delay? Does early October mean first week, or before the 16th?

BlackMagnus just wanted the community to be aware so that you would not be frustrated about your pre-order for this popular set.

[GuyIncognito]

It's certainly nice of BBTS to alert their customers IN OCTOBER that a product will not be available IN SEPTEMBER.

In other news, I'd like to announce that John Kerry will NOT win the 2004 presidential election.

Those dates for when products should arrive are ESTIMATES. Don't blame BBTS for being the messenger. BBTS gets some products in early, some products in late. They get them when their distributors ship the products to them. BBTS has the single best pre-order system. I wish you guys would stop bitching about dates that are out of BBTS' control. That's not fair to them.

I'm ballin' son! Never gonna catch me riding dirty, complain'n bout no pre-orders.

I have a shipment coming from them that I actually do need help opening up. Either that or I'll have to take a nap after a while. too much stuff.

Same boat, different household. I can't wait to get home today.

Even though I don't get money from BBTS , I still have to agree about their pre-order system. It's the best I've seen!

...and no complaints about the "Pile of Loot!" Your pile takes up very real space, and it would really be in BBTS's best interest to get your Sky Lynx or your Voltron out of their warehouse ASAP so they can make room for new inventory.

Don't forget BBTS lets you cancel your pre-order and they won't ask for a cent. They don't even have your $77 dollars yet, so you won't need to wait for a credit to be issued.

It's really a win/win with them!

I'm not blaming BBTS for the delay; I'm just pointing out the redundancy of the announcement, which I find amusing.

But as for being "fair to them"; I'll be fair to BBTS as soon as they offer fair prices. Their preorder system doesn't justify their excessive price markups.

[StarThunderWarp]

Crap. I been waiting for mine since I pre-ordered in spring, Then September comes and I'm checking the mail every day, but no package. And now this.

Well, actually most of their pricing on new release stuff is pretty on-point.

In regards to things where they do have higher prices I will counter you with two points:

1. PoL allows you to recoup any mark-up if you play it right.

2. BBTS has a real and totally legit return policy. It has saved me on three seperate occasions on expensive figures. MP Starscream, Reissue Soundblaster, and Encore Prime were all factory defective. I got them exchanged with zero hassle. None. That alone is worth the mark-up.

Crap. I been waiting for mine since I pre-ordered in spring, Then September comes and I'm checking the mail every day, but no package. And now this slap in the face.

Funny, life never really slaps me in the face. I guess being a man about dealing with life's issues helps me out in that regard.

[StarThunderWarp]

Well I never said life slapped me in the face. I just have a very sarcastic way of dealing with things.
