I'm wondering: if he had that price, could that mean he does not come with a legends companion? or that that site is just that cheap. Also gives my wallet time to breathe with that late a release date

They're a reputable site sponsor (the article says as much) and their adverts are on virtually every page of this website, if you don't have an adblock installed. I know advice is risky territory here - but how about not assuming and just taking 5 seconds to do a Bing\Google search for them and save yourself the time spent posting?

I'm actually surprised you've never heard of them - they even get their updates put onto the newsfeed.

What gave the change of heart?

BBTS only sold onslaught and scattershot as a pair. He isnt that bad but definitely no maketoys metalstorm.

Well, they did sell him individually but, for $33 each; now that wave 2 is out, his price has returned to it's normal price >:oP

You mean the 100+ dollar collector-oriented figure is better than the 25 dollar kid's toy? Shock! But hey, "isn't that bad" is basically a Rated X glowing endorsement so I can't get TOO holier-than-thou.

Honesty I dont pay much attention to smaller retailers as they come and go. The cant afford to buy in huge quantities and upsell BBTS. The only small retailer I deal with is chimungmung because he often gets rare items and early factory samples.

Pretty sure Premium Collectibles isn't some smaller retailer, pretty sure they're the bbts of Australia >:oP

No wonder I have never heard of them. Sometimes I feel like me and you are the only American regulars left on this site. Im not gonna drop names, but a lot of people from the USA stopped posting here because of the constant culture shock.

60% of members are from the US. And I don't know why people would run away from culture on a fan site dedicated to toys of Japanese origins.

Many of us on here live in the US, including many people who post here prominently; along with myself, D_Max, (most of) the wolf pack, Mindmaster, and Cobo, among - probably - many, many others >:oP

Unfortunately no. I currently sit in my dorm watching a white out blizzard streak past my window still knowing I will still have class. And also knowing that any shipping here is delayed by adverse weather conditions

I'm thinking that if the individual Onslaught comes in stock on BBTS, I will take the plunge and order the entire team from them. For some reason now, they are showing that they will ship all 5 for $5.99, a drastic decrease over what they gave me last week :-?

Yeah, saver is ~$4.50 + $.50 per pound or something like that - and they weigh ~3lbs;

But if you have the patience, you should just wait for the sky-lynx case with the pile'o'loot system - as that is the one with the cheap onslaughts in it; otherwise, you'll be shooting yourself in the foot by getting charged shipping for skylynx when you order it later. If you want the wave 2 limbs, just pre-order them too and push that into your stack

My patience is notoriously low in quality and quantity. I just want my Bruticus now, Sky Reign maybe later in February towards spring break, and then Victorion right as school is letting out for the summer. Plans!
