Is it cancelled or not?

Did some searching on import sites in the USA and overseas. Toyarena, Robotkingdom and TFSource have pre-orders for BTS-06 Nova Lord.

Don't have a complete list of all the imports sites that sell HasTak and 3rd party TF toys. Highly guessing, More imports sites still have pre-orders listing up for BTS-06 Nova lord.

TFSource actually put up a, Sold out, on pre-orders on BTS-06 Nova Lords ordering page.

buyers can still place a pre-order on the Robot Kingdom and Toyarena web sites.

Sent a email to Toyarena alerting them that BBTS cancelled my Nova Lord Preorder. Told Toyarena BBTS told me BTS said Nova Lord was cancelled. Toyarena emailed me back a day later, stating BTS never told them Nova Lord was cancelled. Toyarena said they were going to personally send a message to BTS asking them the status of Nova lord.

Speculating that it's possible BBTS sent a few emails to BTS but got no return replies. Guessing BBTS just cancelled Nova Lord pre-orders without getting any confirmation from BTS that Nova Lord got cancelled.

Yes, I did place another order for BTS-06 Nova lord at the Toyarena web site. Realized it was a shot in the dark and desperate thing to do.

What I've seen about BBTS is that BBTS often pays upfront for their orders from the manufacturers/distributors. I cannot say for sure about every other site out there, but some of them seem to make orders and await invoices from the companies they deal with.

I suspect BBTS knew it was cancelled because they keep track of where their money went. Other sites may not know its cancelled because they're still waiting for an invoice.

And why would you throw actual money at something whose future is in doubt? I know you want an Overlord so badly I can smell your desperation through my keyboard, but come on! RobotKingdom and ToyArena both take money up front. Giving them money for this is like investing in Multi Level Marketting. You know "that guy" got rich off of it, but it's a needless waste of your money.

Toyarena is like BBTS, Where they don't charge your card until the pre-ordered item arrives in stock on their site.

Can't speak for Robotkingdom, Since i've never ordered from them.

Do they? I must've been thinking of a different seller.

I retract my last paragraph. I too am holding out hope that this gets made, but I'm still leaning towards the negative outcome.

I believe BBTS. They sell alot more than just transformers so I believe they have connections to have expanded their business to that level. BTS products just didnt do well enough for any investors to invest in mass production of such an expensive figure. Their trailer was nice but it was out shined by the FP G3 trailer. And those cassettes werent that great. I own the ravage and ratbat and I regret the purchase.
