And it's now listed for September 8th! If it actually processes I'm gonna have to hold back from simply shipping just Talon today.

That's really cool. I figure I should just wait until Tigris comes in (hopefully this week) and then ship. Maybe even get some other items in stock while waiting (Mania King, Hasbro Jetfire).

and it is processing!! now to wait for one more member

News Credits: 10 · Mon Sep 08, 2014 1:45 pm

Indeed. Just dropped in my POL. I figure Tigris is right around the corner...

I got Quantron from BBTS, so I guess I'm still in the waiting game. Still it's nice to know Talon's there, finally.

Mine is ready! :KREMZEEK:

But I can wait until Tigris is ready. And the Windblade set.

Me too, and I have a lot of stuff in my PoL.

I'll hold off hitting "Ship" for a few days, as it is a busy time at my house the next couple weeks, so maybe Tigris will drop before then.

Mon Sep 08, 2014 3:04 pm

Yeah, I got a wait ahead for me, too.

I don't mind, though. Predaking is now 80% complete for me. Defensor is 40% complete and other combiners are in the pipeline. Good times.

Still waiting to pull the trigger on Defensor.

I'll probably end up getting him, but I may wait till they are all out and see if someone runs a deal for the group.

Well Chimungmung has tigris in stock now, so how long could it be ? Wait let me not jinx it. The shipping company might go on strike again because their break room wasnt properly cleaned.

Tue Sep 09, 2014 10:20 am

i won't be shipping until the end of the month anyway, but i do hope tigris makes it in stock before that

If Tigris processes for BBTS, even if it's just him and Talon I'm clicking 'ship'.

Apparently a small amount of them shipped from The Chosen Prime. That alone is making me hold off a couple extra days, just in case.

I'm waiting for Tigris and Windblade before I hit ship, unless I manage to find her in the wild first. Those and Talon will be all for my POL anyway, I'm not a heavy buyer like some of you guys.

And X, would it hurt you to NOT take jabs for once? I think we all know your stance on unions by now, you don't need to remind us every post.

As funny as it sounds theres actually a steward at my job who made the breakroom his agenda. He uses it to try and distract employees from the payroll issues the union was bought off not to address. Its sad but true.

Anyways, I'm sorry you would rather read 20 pages of "it will be mine" comments. Thats what makes these threads so boring sometimes. If you have an opposing veiwpoint, feel free to get it off your chest. Im listening.

When a union makes your toy delivery late, you must rage on the Internet about unions for the rest of your life.

When America's ruling corporate plutocracy shoves as many jobs as it can overseas, raids pension funds, writes the tax code and buys Congress, you must bend over and whisper "thank you master" as they have your way with you.

Dudes, seriously, cut the political talk! We should be discussing the awesomeness that is Feral Rex! (Not to mention, there's site/forum rules about such stuff. I for one don't want to poke the sleeping beasts.)

(Not that moderators are beasts. I was talking about Feral Rex. Yeah, that's the beast I was talking about... :-s

Mine should be complete in a week or two, looking forward to it. I should probably install my batteries now...

Well I made one little funny a few comments above that seemed to unintentionally irk another member. I basically explained the rationale behind my joke and told him if he had something to get off his chest, feel free to do it.

I take it youre another one of those guys that wants to see 50+ pages of boring comments saying "it is awesome and it will be mine" or "oh how I can't wait for it to start shipping". Maybe a thread like that for you would be a utopia, but for me it would be a total snoozefest. On a side note, if you feel unions are the savior of mankind, you better start cleaning that breakroom. Those dues paid for that tablecloth ! Dont expect a raise anytime soon though, the CEO and the union chief are bed buddies.

Ag: I agree with you that feral rex is totally awesome. But for most of us (myself included) it seems like a good idea to wait a week or so and ship both talon and tigris together. So until they are in hand, theres not much to say. I think the union argument was the only thing keeping this thread alive during talons long flight to retailers nation wide. I kind of feel that if someone deems my comment worthy of a reply, I will answer them. Nobody forced them to add a link to the chain.

If there's nothing to talk about, we don't need to add something to talk about. The thread isn't going to disappear from the face of the Earth if nobody posts anything for a week. I'm pretty sure it saw longer lulls in the beginning. I poke my head in whenever I get an email about new comments and it turns out to just be more political ranting, I'd rather the thread just go dark until everybody has Talon and Tigris.

Well I admit those e mail notifications are annoying, but I have a special non business email for site memberships. I delete the contents once a month so I dont deal with 100+ emails in my primary email. I look for news randomly on my own, not by notications. Comments are just for fun.
