Awesome, I've been wondering when the WSTs would be released!

Me too -- I preordered these sometime ago. What I don't understand is why I don't receive an email from them letting me know they will be shipping soon, and that I have to find the info somewhere else.

Thank God for Seibertron.com!

Probably when they are actually in the states you will get an e-mail. You will certainly get one when they ship, although, usually the order is only identified by an order number, and not by product names, so you may not know what is being shipped to you when they tell you they are shipping something.

It's great news!!!

I think you meant to say Shockwave.

Thanks, I fixed that.

after last month's problems TFsource had with credit card fraud, im very hesitant to buy from them again. can anyone (who doesnt work for them) confirm that their credit card problems have been solved?

i really dont want to cancel my card again.

Next time, use PayPal!

I preordered Shockwave, so I'm thrilled to hear he's going to be shipping soon!

i would use paypal....but that would mean they have my money before they even have the items in stock. thats a no no for me. especially if its not guaranteed that my pre-order will be fulfilled. for a company that cant assure credit card security, i would imagine getting a credit back from TFsource would be twice as hard.
