I believe that due to the special release for these, they were barred from offering pre-orders. Don't blame them if they are just following the rules they were told.

Not being able to pre-order was annoying still I managed to get them, so I'm happy

Ah, I didn't realize that they were barred from offering pre-orders. That makes sense. Anyways, they only lost a sale in this case, not my overall business. Like I said, no big deal.

I ordered these two plus Combiner Wars Voyager Class Cyclonus along with a few others. I qualified for free shipping and used the promo code "Memorial15" to get an additional 15% off.

I made it through the entire process during my second attempt and before everything was all fine and dandy, I saw that my account was now charged for 2 Brake-Necks instead of one. Not sure how that happened but I immediately contacted support and let them know that I only wanted one figure.

I hope they can manage it quickly before they all officially sell out but I'm glad to see the figure is so readily available in other places.

Just curious, are you buying from BBTS because you are outside the US? Because it seems Target and Toysrus dont give much of a headache.

Nope. But I've already got a stack of other items on BBTS that are going to release next month and I'd rather save on the shipping versus having it in my hands right now.

Besides, I'm still waiting on BSC-01 Lonewolf to release so I can afford to wait a bit.

UPDATE: BBTS reached out to me and has taken care of the error. Apparently, I'm not the only "victim" of this issue but they're going through all of the accounts to resolve them if not communicated directly through support.

Now HotSpot is up on HTS as well, and apparently it is shipping in one business day (http://www.hasbrotoyshop.com/transforme ... 6&ID=33967)

Viper and Warpath just went up as well, but they won't ship until 6/15

I hope the rest of Defensor shows up soon. My local stores are way behind, I just recently saw Silverbolt.

Fellow Seibertronians reluctantyouth and LongHaulLaser have brought to our attention a slew of new Transformers figures now available on Hasbrotoyshop.com.

We first learnt that the highly sought after Brakeneck and Quickslinger were available as well as Combiner Wars Cyclonus.

We then received this message from LongHaulLaser:

Please note that while there is currently the Memorial15 promo code for 15% off an order and free shipping over 50$, it may not be eligible for the online exclusive Combiner Wars figures.

Quickslinger is now sold out on BBTS (12:55 PM CDT). Just keeping peoples informed. I'm tempted to ship my POL now.

I picked these guys up from BBTS already, but I grabbed Hotspot, Cyclonus and a troop builder fleet of Vipers

As of 3:48 pm EST, BBTS is listing Quickslinger and Brake-neck as in stock.

Some replies that I've read here. Are stating BBTS keeps updating with, out of stock and in stock.

Might be that clearing up of duplicate orders or people who order more than one. Based on how far we are into the day, I imagine most will have their chance to get these guys.

Yes, but he and his size class have their own thread for them.

Yes doesn't do my level of excitement justice. I loves me some UM! I'm also one of the crazy ones who likes him in a nice shade of baby blue.

Me likes some baby blue UM too!

Looks like Magnus is probably one of the best Generations figures yet!

And Sabrblade, I know that, but this is Combiner Wars.

Right, but the mods felt the Leader class toys were distinctive enough from the rest of the actual combining toys to warrant their own separate thread for discussion pertaining to them.

Just trying to help us play by the rules. :PEACE:

I wonder if the newly introduced comic characters such as Nautica, Firestar, Velocity etc are part of the fan build combiner! I would love to have a voyager comic version of Firestar with flaming hair!

They are not. The artist confirmed that they are separate fembots from Victorion's components.

So, yay, even more fembots! :DANCE:
