So, I finally decided that I need to order the upgrade, only problem is that the two places I have ordered from, BBTS and LAFToys are out of it. Is TFSource as good as anyone, or is there somewhere else I should be looking to order it from. I am located in the US, and looking for a reputable place with a decent price.

E-bay bro. Unless you don't have a paypal account. That's where I should have gotten it from anyways. I'm still waiting on TF source to send my CC. They are usually great but they dropped the ball on this one. BBTS rocks but alas they are tapped. I say E-bay.

...Although I belive TF Source has it in stock... for a second...

http://www.toyarena.com has it. You can use the discount code KING to save 10%, too, however they're charging $85 so that just brings it down to what BBTS was charging...

Ok, with those being the two choices I guess, tfsource and toyarena, anyone have any thoughts one way or the other. Price should be the same between the two, unless one doesn't charge tax, or if one charges substantially less in shipping. And quick thoughts before I place it?

Offhand I'd say TFsource, but at this late stage in the game, whichever one has it in stock and/or has more in stock. The preorders for this set were numerous, and people are still eating it up. If you don't order one pretty soon, you're gonna be looking at ebay and the secondary market.

Well, thanks for the input, my order is placed, almost tacked on a couple WSTs, but didn't want to open that can yet.

WITHOUT A DOUBT TOYARENA.COM!! TF Source dropped the ball on this order and I have had plenty of orders from TOYARENA.com. They send their shipments out and make it across the country to me REALLY FAST!!! SUPER FAST, as in 3 days or so.

They pack pretty good and never had an issue from them. If you are loyal to them they give you discount codes as well.

They have an account on ebay as well under the name Liqdeal

TF Source BLECH!!!

TF Source may be pokey on shipping but I've never had a problem with them in the ordering process and their prices tend to be competitive with other online retailers.

Good to see that ToyArena is another viable option, I'll have to keep my eye on them in the future.
