I know considering we've already wined and dined ole hothead...

I'm slowly losing my mind about Exp and Mun...Superion won't shutup about how bad ass he looks compared to goofy colored ROTF Bruticus and frasnkly, Bruti is starting to shy away from crowds and he mumbles to himself! :-(

Yours, too?

Yeah, seriously. I hope they've shipped, at least. i know FP said beginning of August... but I'd like some word that they have.

Im counting down an auction for s second Bruticus as I type this. Right now I would settle for a damn "It's delayed , 1st week of september, Sorry for inconveience"

I can't stand this uncomfortable silence! It normally means something went wrong!

I've vowed that if it's not here by the end of august im going to sell of my bruticus's( LOL) and save up for a couple of protectors...

Lulz.

We need updates. If we're given another delay message, they better pack these figures with a Cliff upgrade, every single Commander upgrade set, the original Superion upgrade, and an extra 12 dollars. Why 12 you ask? I like that number.

*facepalms*

Think about what you just said for a moment....

You're tired of waiting for these, to the point you're considering selling off the Bruticus that's required to make these two work...and use the money to buy two more of upcoming, yet not even close to being finished FP product.

O_o...what?

As in I'm tired of waiting for these to be released. I picked up a couple of Bruticus sets for .....wait for it..profit... They are selling for nothing short of $100 bucks for the set and if I can turn a profit some how i'm gonna do it..

I only bring up Protector because I'm far more interested in it than this. I have patience to a certain extent. If I can turn a quick profit I'm game but when it comes to something I really want, I can wait....After seeing the prototype in person at botcon I decided that if Exp and Muni came out in a timely manner I would try and cash in and wait for protector..

Ok, so I'm in the same Ark as everyone else is. Pre-ordered these guys a long time ago and waiting as well. But, this very nasty thought came to mind and felt I needed to share it. They said at the end of August, but forgot to mention at the end of next years August....maw ha ha ha. Jk'ing, it's eating me alive with all this waiting when it's so close. The colored photos of these guys are on my Ipod and I've been bragging to my friends about what's gonna be in my collection soon.

I'm not sure. Maybe the QC problem they had was a little bit bigger than they led on.

Ps. I think we should all petition and email FP asking them to make a size/IDW accurate Roadbuster. After there next three confirmed projects of course. But, I would absolutely love that!

Roadbuster would be sweet, but an Impactor would just rule. I seriously want that harpoon to have string attached to it too. Also, an Overlord to go with said Impactor. My only complaint about this delay is that I have to keep on setting money aside for it when I can use it to get a Device Label Blaster or pay a bill.

Yeah, okay, chances are I would use it to pay for more TF's anyway. Which I have. Sides, a 100 bucks is a 100 bucks.

Robotkingdom claims the 20th (Friday), and ToyArena claims the 30th (Monday).

If those dates hold true, BBTS should have them around the same time as ToyArena, or even the first week of September.

No. We had a Universe Roadbuster that received 3rd party add-ons made for it, so I don't think FP would be too bothered with that character. I know an oversized Roadbuster would be nice to have, but given the nature of scale within the TF lines I honestly don't care any more. That said though, I'm not very keen on their 'Broadside' project given the hideous problem with said character's existence. I do want to see them carry on with their triple-changers though, like say Blitzwing and Sandstorm.

Yeah, I know hasbro released a scout size deluxe repaint that was supposed to be Roadbuster. And the add on wasn't half bad. The head looked good but it had horrable QC problems. I'd love to have the FP engineers shell out a voyager/supreme class one. Matter of fact, I wouldn't mind seeing them put out the whole team of Wreckers to go alongside Defender and whatever they call Broadside. Even the Marvel guys like Guzzle. Obviously skipping Kup since Hasbro is soon to release him.

I'd rather see them just do an upgrade set to turn TFA Roadbuster Ultra magnus into Classics Roadbuster. The CD Hotshot mold is nice, just too small.

I don't think turning Animated RB Ultra Magnus into a Classics/Universe figure would work out that well. No offense at all, it could be personal preference but he is way too gigantic, and well Animated style-looking. If anything give him a RB Animated upgrade. Whenever kitbashers customize an Animated figure into something to pass off for a Classics figure I always feel it looks odd.

Why the same time as ToyArena for BBTS? Legit curiosity here, too.

BBTS is one of the first responders when an order and ship date comes in. It's rare that they get their shipments in after everyone else. It happens, but it's rare.

ToyArena gets their stuff in earlier than everyone else from time to time because the owner pays for air shipments to be able to be the first to say "I have it!" and it works. People go and buy from him, and it's why he never lowers his prices.

BBTS should get their shipment around the same time as ToyArena. Maybe not the same day, but within the same week or the following. It's usually how it goes.

Okay, that makes sense. Thanks.

I hope it gets here by the end of August, though earlier suits me just fine too.

For any British Columbia Lower Mainland fans, Soul Of Anime apparently has theirs in stock already. Makes sense, since they seem to have some sort of connection to Fansproject. $100 if you preordered, $109.99 if not.

OK, so ToyArena got there stock in yesterday and already sold out. Wow, boy is that a kick in the nuts. I preordered over at TFSource, the demand is high that I wonder if my late preorder will get filled, or that I might have to wait for the next wave.

Fansproject Crossfire Explorer & Munitioner 1st shipmet is sold out

Saturday 21 August, 2010

Our first shipment of Fansproject Crossfire Explorer & Munitioner are sold out. We are expecting a our shipment to arrive within a week.

If they're already receiving a second shipment within a week, then I'd say that there's a good chance that BBTS will have their's around the same time. If the shipments are moving that fast, I fail to see a reason why they won't be here in a short time.

Even TFSource sent an email out stating that their shipment cleared custom and was on it's way to Curt as we speak. BBTS can't be that far behind.

...I hope.

Here's to hopin..If Tfsource ever got a feature similar to the Pile of loot that BBTS has I would give them more business. The pre-order system and the POL are the reasons I choose BBTS and I'm sticking with them for this product. I hope I get good news on monday
