Alot of you have probably been wondering why your Classics Ultra Magnus upgrade kit that you pre ordered through Big Bad Toy Store hasn't come in. Well wonder no more.

Yours truly just received email confirmation from our friends at BBTS.com and was informed that my City Commander upgrade kit was on its way. Great news for those of us who've been waiting throught the push back date.

In case you've been living under a rock and don't know what I'm talking about, you can view Seibertron.com's own amazing gallery of the City Commander upgrade set here.

Preordered processed. I just shipped my loot!

Wed Oct 08, 2008 6:58 pm

Mine just shipped as well.

Mine seems to be in some weird state of limbo... They sent this email:

Hello,

Thank you for ordering from BigBadToyStore.com!

...but when I login it says the order is still processing. It has moved from pre-order to an actual order, though. I just don't seem to have the option to "send my loot" quite yet...

Saw this today on the way home from work-it's about friggen time! I'm pretty stoked about this. Got the shelf space all set!

Man, the ol'Card has been getting hammered lately... it'll be cool to at last get him though.

Mine is showing paid....the anticipation is KILLING me,,, =P~

Wed Oct 08, 2008 7:29 pm

Just got the email. Pile of Loot shipped. Now I have Seacons & Nightbeat, City Commander, and even some delicious minicons courtesy of CP to look forward to.

Let the suspense begin!

Wed Oct 08, 2008 7:32 pm

I got notice today too.

News Credits: 32 · Wed Oct 08, 2008 7:36 pm

Hallelujah! I finally got my e-mail. Now I just gotta wait for it to be processed so I can ship my POL.

News Credits: 7 · Wed Oct 08, 2008 8:13 pm

Ohhhh, it feels good to hit that "ship my loot" button. Can't wait for my box of unadulterated awesome to arrive.

I may have to take a day off just to thoroughly enjoy it. :grin:

Why did all of us get our City Commander's, but CP has to wait?

It cleared...ship loot has been requested. I'm only a 45 min. drive from the BBTS warehouse; I wonder what the chances are my package shows up Friday to greet me on the return from my vacation? It's pretty bad when you're in Vegas and you're checking on the status of your order...

I'm currently showing 'processing' as well. It's been hard enough not giving in to temptation and shipping my wave 3 Uni deluxes and Henkei TC and SW the last couple of weeks. Now everything's in and they won't let me ship it! I was wondering if the time difference might be a factor in my card not clearing straight away, but if folks in the US are having the same issue it's probably just to do with volume of orders.

Because BBTS is out for revenge. It's a long story involving somebody's mother and a squirrel. It's best that you don't know more.

That story has CP all over it.

Maybe CP can write an article about BBTS? :-?

Payment cleared and my big box of goodies is on it's way!

News Credits: 32 · Wed Oct 08, 2008 9:11 pm

Paid and shipped!

And so begins the long weeks of waiting for my big box of sweet awesomeness to arrive.

News Credits: 4 · Wed Oct 08, 2008 9:32 pm

I got my Email!

I can finally ship my stuff. Now I will have both Armor I ordered back in April, and the Robot Heroes that I can't find in the stores.

S'all taken care off.

Made 'em an offer they couldn't refuse...

That's good to hear. At least everyone is happy.

Payment got cleared and I was even able to add a USA Edition Red Powerglide as well. I can't wait. That's gonna be a huge day, 2 City Commander sets and powerglide, but my wallet is now holding a gun to his head. Well, at least I have nothing else to buy until Henkei Ironhide.
