How limited are these exactly? Apparently they're starting to hit now. Am I safe to wait a bit or are they so limited that keeping the pre-order is best?

BBTS is just a bit too expensive for what they're charging for these and with shipping, its just very high. Part of me wants to forget about the pre-order and wait and the other part of me aint sure. I'm thinking I'll find better prices on ebay with cheaper shipping.

I had originally had them preordered but I decided to cancle mine and try and go for them one at a time (not all at once). They do look very nice with the new paint apps...but still it is a lot of money.

Yea, I'm just gonna wait then to get them one by one too.

I only want Blackarachnia, Cheetor, Dinobot, Waspinator, Tigatron and Wolfang. Apparently a new one will come each month, would like to see a Silverbolt. A Scorponok eventually would be nice too.

Hopefully they'll be plentiful on ebay. Hows e-hobby though, are they on ebay too? Their prices are not too bad. Dunno about their shipping though. I just wish the site was in english...

These are hitting now? That means I've been slacking. Hopefully I can get the rest of my orders in this weekend or the following. I've only ordered Tigatron so far.

Yea, Xybertoys has them in now, but their prices are CRAZY. Over $40 bucks each US. Insane.

Really? That's fantastic! I guess they want my money the most then. :grin:

::EDIT::
F2F wants $19.50 each, which still is better than anywhere else.

Ah. They raised the prices. When the announcement was first made they were all $15. But like you said still better than other places.

Its cheaper, but not by that much really. Your looking at about 10-12 dollars in shipping to the US if you get jsut one of the new BW figures from from Fan2Fan.

Shipping from BBTS to most places in the US for a single figure will be about 5-6 bucks.

So $30-32 from Fan2Fan with EMS which I've found to be the safest and most reliable method of shipping from Japan to stateside.

and $32-33 for BBTS using Priority Mail.

The difference in price if your buying it here in the states is a dollar or two at the most. And if you plan on buying more then one figure BBTS will actually become a few dollars cheaper once you get three or four of them in a shipment.

Now if your not in the US and then getting them from Fan2Fan is definitely cheaper. But in the US its not as clear cut a savings as it looks jsut based on unit price.
