Site sponsor BBTS have dropped us a note letting everyone know that, as someone broke the embargo date for online ordering, they have also opened preorders for Generations Titan Class Metroplex! You can find the listing, for $109.99, here.
Please Note: Due to the world's largest online retailer breaking the on-site date of 7/1 on this item and listing early, we are forced to protect the large investment we have made in this figure and also list preorders.
Preorders are now open at $109.99:

Strange dynamics but good news to me. For me, this makes buying from BBTS ($109.99 + 14.59 ship = $124.58) cheaper than buying from Amazon ($124.99 + 11.25tax = $136.24). I will save $11.66 since BBTS won't charge me tax so I'm going to cancel my Amazon pre-order unless they drop to $109 with free shipping.

I really wanted to show BBTS some love, but Amazon has free shipping and the tax law hasn't hit Illinois yet. I had 700 points on my card so was able to secure this regular Metroplex for $117 shipped. You cannot beat that with a stick. 
I would love it if Amazon dropped theirs to match as well. I cannot see waiting for the bells and whistles edition from SDCC...yes mine might be inferior but I will be able to sleep at night knowing that I invested what I thought the figure was worth and everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Watch though... come Christmas if this figure ends up being a total bomb and the price drops dramatically for a minute...still kicking myself for not getting the Jetwing Optimus Prime last year when he dropped down to $62.00.

noticed bbts and tfsource had theirs at 109.99 and was wondering why they were so low.
going to try and hold out for the sdcc, if I cant get one ill be ordering one from either tf or bbts if they still have them.

The only thing that worries me about ordering from BBTS is that the shipping cost is ESTIMATED. They have no idea how much it will really be until they have the figure in hand.
