I'm confused by this; I'm not sure what difference you're trying to delineate here. BBTS will only allow you to ship in-stock items - same with TFsource.
Right. But, with TFSource's Stack feature, all pre-ordered items have to come in before the stack ships, correct? With BBTS, I can ship my POL at any time, without the need to wait for any pre-order items to come into stock.
Basically, if I take the recent Combiner Wars orders as an example, with all items either added to Stack or POL:
Legends Wave with Groove, Viper, and Warpath arrives
Deluxe Protectobots arrives at same time
Voyager Hotspot and Cyclonus arrive 2 weeks later.
Under TF Source, I have to wait for Hotspot and Cyclonus before the stack ships. With BBTS, I can choose to ship my POL with just the Legends and Deluxe figures, and ship a future POL with the Voyagers.
I know I have the BBTS POL correct. Is this how TFSource's Stack feature works? If this is all true, then I would rather pay the shipping and have the choice when my POL ships than have to wait on an item before my Stack ships. This is especially true for Takara's Defensor (Guardian?) as it is not expected to come in until late in the year. I'd have to guess which other items I want to Pre-order with the set in order to maximize shipping. This isn't an issue with this set due to the cost. But, for other orders that are significantly less than the shipping minimum, well, I'm okay with paying the shipping to have the freedom to determine when to ship.
Does that make sense, or am I talking in circles again.
