I am so mad at BBTS right now. I just shipped my POL now that Crossfire are instock and got the shipping email. Then seven hours and two minutes later I got another email saying that Generations wave 3 are in stock and ready to ship. AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!! Why can't they let people know that preorders are expected in, like a 3 day warning or something.

Maybe they didn't know exactly when the product was supposed to come. Sometimes instock dates are a guess and can be vague (like august 2010) even coming straight from the manufacture.

I know, I was just venting

I shipped my POL only to have the Alternity Magnus arrival email come not 20 minutes later. Guess what I'm not getting until Protector now! :BOOM:

No they didn't. I live in South Korea and we still have MISB Galaxy Force on sale. We also only have ROTF movie line. Generations is a long time away here.

But isn't is nice knowing you still have something to look forward to?

I hate when that happens. I don't usually use the POL. I am usually not patient enough to wait around for a figure that I already bought. I want it NOW!

I'm in the same boat. I've been tempted a few times, but I always just ship it as soon as I can lol.

Now that I see Hothead is only going to be another month or so away from being available, I wish I hadn't shipped my POL. Hopefully with it being such a small item it won't be much to ship.

Nor do I.. I just wait it out. I am a patient man.

Yep. I never buy new stuff online ever. Whats the point? In most cases the toys are marked down lower than online. I'm almost positive I saw the Generations 1 line at Walmart for $11.99 each. BBTS wants $14.99 each PLUS shipping. I suppose its good if you have to have a figure right now. Bad though if you want to save some cash.

And $9.99 USD at most Targets(and plenty in stock, at least at all 4 here).

Believe me, if I thought I would be able to get Generations at retail where I live, I would not have ordered them online. If I was at home back in Scotland, I would just buy them from either Toys R Us or one of the supermarkets.

It's also good for those who live overseas or in areas where they don't have them available like we do here in the United States. I think those are the main customers that BBTS tries to reach with product like that.

Yeah, and I am so glad they do otherwise I would have to buy more of the ROTF line -shudders-. I am so sick of that line and the bastard child, Hunt for the Decepticons. The best thing about that is I am free to indulge in other lines and exclusives while Hasbro wastes time and money on that line.

Galaxy Force meaning Sonokong releases of Micron Legend? If this is the case, why have you not hooked me up with Shock (Tidal) Wave yet?

Micron Legend and Galaxy Force are not the same series. Micron Legend is long gone in Korea by now.

Micron Legend/Armada
Superlink/Energon
Galaxy Force/Cybertron

If Korea is already into GF/C the figures you're looking for are nowhere to be found.

News Credits: 10 · Thu Sep 02, 2010 4:59 am

I have seen and bought Micron Legend Megatron (I might be able to find more) and seen and passed on Micron Legend Scavanger. I might be able to get Laserbeak too but I don't want it. If anyone wants Sealed Galaxy Force/Cybertron toys I can hook you up with Excellion, Jetfire and Starscream at really good prices. For example, a MISB Excellion for $5 before shipping. I can get more but they would be more expensive. I found a guy who sells them for half price. I had no GF/C toys going to Korea now I have 18 since February. I have even bought cheap MISB to be used for customs like WFC Hot Rod and Shattered Glass Galvatron (the Universe 3 pack Galvy will be donating his head for that custom).

Btw, Micron Legend Megatron was also MISB and I got him for $10.

You'd be wrong about the naming. Galaxy Force is what Sonokong dubbed their version of Micron Legend when they got around to releasing it years later. Correct on the Takara names, of course.

Actually Galaxy Force/Cybertron has been released in Korea as well, for a good while now. I've seen Korean First Gunner and Sonic Bomber on some sites.
