Gaaaaaaaaaaah damn it! This is the second time I've been bitten in the ass with a retailer managing to find stock after I paid eBay prices! :evil:

And it's out of stock again.

LiKwid, PM me with a price and we'll talk about the Snowman set.

How was the snowman set obtained? Was it a rerelease or first release?

News Credits: 2 · by **Macross** » Sat Jan 08, 2011 4:40 am

Was an '09 TFsource holiday exclusive (limited to 500 pieces worldwide)

by **Vicalliose** » Sat Jan 08, 2011 4:57 pm

YES!!! YES!!!

I know the Bruticus kits are technically superior, but this is still a great updating for the team.

Wow I had no idea it was that limited of a run....Well that changes things a tad

I would like to get a energon superion for it though..The ROTF re-release just doesn't look right with the frosty kit

So..... No one received a shipping notice, I see.

BBTS is starting to wear on my patience.

5 days, not shipped, no updates. I'm a little P.O.ed because this is not the first time they've done this recently.

And I'm not the only one. What the heck is going on with BBTS, lately? I haven't emailed them for a status update, but if nothing happens by tomorrow, I will. It'll be a week this Wednesday.

Even ToyArena and TFSource aren't that slow anymore. Digitsl-Toys is, but they tell you up front that it'll take 4-6 days to process.

I shipped my POL Wednesday. It took two-three days for it to go to warehouse and then finally Saturday to 'shipped'. But there's no tracking info beyond 'A label for this shipment has been created, but UPS does not yet have possession of this shipment. Once we receive the shipment, the tracking status will be updated.'

Same status for shipment of my third kit to display the 'bots in jet mode (fulfilled after ten months on preorder) plus Protector armor. They seemed to be kind of backed up the last week or so.

Now I kind of wish my other two kits weren't Snowman versions.

Someone said that they should've hired help for the holiday season. I'm inclined to agree. They most likely wouldn't be backed up as badly.

If, that's the case here.

I know it sounds like I'm bitching, and I agree that I am, to a degree, but I don't think I'm being unreasonable when I've been an excellent customer for almost a decade.

It hasn't shipped, and there's been no updates. That's expected from Digital-Toys, not BBTS.

Agree. I sold mine because the proportions are a bit off and he looks really small next to Bruticus.

Well, the thing finally shipped, thank Primus. Yeah, not getting help during the holidays is a recipe for trouble. *Sigh* Hope the damned thing ships soon.

Received my notice this morning. According to http://www.Boxoh.com/, it says target date is 1/13/11

Try it out with your's. Great resource, sometimes even better than UPS's own website.

Really? I think it makes sense to be 'small' next to Bruticus. All Superion needed was some limbs attachments, not full-on new toys like Bruticus did to get upgraded to Classic status.
