Well it looks incredible, I can't wait to see the fully colored version, and how it looks in trailer mode. The same guy/company is also doing a trailer for classics OP, right? Sounds like you may have some insight on this.

Only by accident, but they definitely have our best interests in mind.

I've had some dirrect dealings with these folks myself, and I can second, they are all about the proper product.

I intend on supporting this company, in hopes of not only more readily availible upgrades like this, but also maybe some reissues of past greatness. The Predaking set is both simple and cool.

Extended shoulder cannons, full size sword, and so on...

Goodies like that I missed that!

So what all have these guys brought to the market?

News Credits: 8 · by **Liege Evilmus** » Sun Apr 27, 2008 9:59 pm

A fair anount of upgrades, tons of movie stuff, allsparks Prime Swords and such. But they've always been limited without the exposure that other upgrade/add on companies have had.

With that in mind, you have to expect limited runs.

Still, words out now, and like ACT, and IMPOSSIBLE, these guys can and are bringing the goods in alot of ways better than Hasbro and Takara are, with the idea of doing it eventualy wide scale and cheap.

I feel strongly about suporting these guys, case in point, I got my CliffJumper upgrade before I even got a CliffJumper.

2 questions:

Does BBTS ship internationally?

If I order another kit, will it be added to my original order or not?

Thanks

Well I'm all for supporting these guys, but where can I buy their stuff? Do they sell on ebay? Did they do the Screamer Corination Kit? I ask because of BBTS the UM upgrade is listed as offered by Fansproject and the Corination set is listed as TFClub, are they one in the same? Sorry I don't mean to bombard you with questions, but I would seriously like to buy some more stuff from these guys. I would loved to have gotten one of those Cliffjumper Upgrade sets.

Yes I believe they do ship internationally.

To add/reduce quantity to your preorder item, simply go to your account page, and click on "View Preorders", change the item quantity to your desired number and hit "Update", and you're done.

*WINK*

Preordered two. I still have some store credit left, and will probably have more by September.

You can use PayPal though, go get a bank account.

So if this is limited to 2000 pieces do they allocate so many to eaach online retailer? I mean does BBTS get, let's say 500, and when they receive that many preorders they stop taking orders? I ask because if that's the case I'm surprised they aren't already sold out, considering the amount of hype and anticipation level for this set.

I bet they're starting to get close to having 500 preorders...
Let's have some fun and throw out predictions for how soon they'll be sold-out.
Of course, we don't know how many sets BBTS was allotted, but oh well.

Actually, does anyone know how many retailers these are being sold by?
That may help us make a guess-timation.

TFsource will definitely be getting them too. I don't know about anybody else.

News Credits: 3 · by **Emperor Galvatron** » Mon Apr 28, 2008 11:41 am

sold out by May 5th

Not viable. It takes about a week to get an account sorted round these parts- and that's if they like you.

I think I'm sorted though
