ordered this as soon as it became available again http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/prod ... icture=out

but I just recently checked my preorders and I dont remember it being that much, thought I recall it being like $98.

has this preorder been that amount the whole time, or did it increase?

I may just not have paid enough attention and just jumped at the opportunity to have another chance at getting this set.

They increased the price. I still have a preorder for $94.99.

More due to the poor economy and the strength of the US Dollar to the Yen which would explain the rise of price

mostly, anyways.

I though so...

normally though if you preorder before the increase they let you keep the price you preordered at. Not for me this time.

Its all good I guess, it gave me the final nudge i needed to cancel it and hop on the hercules bandwagon :KREMZEEK:

at the time of my order they had 34 Exgravers left. I figured it was time to make a decision on whether i was gonna make the commitment.

even being aware of the minor QC issues the first 2 figures are having I know I would hate myself for not getting it when it was available.

I learned my lesson from missing the first run of city commander. Even though now you have to be selective w/ all the 3rd party coming out, i just couldnt justify not having the chance to finally own a kick ass Devastator.

I guess my Nemesis Prime will just have to lay dormant in his plastic prison :lol:

BBTS started processing my Shadow Commnander at the original pre-order price of $94.99. Gonna have to wait until the next Hercules figure drops before shipping as I only have 2 items in my POL.

Same here, they honored the original pre-order price at $94.99 for me, so it's now sitting on my POL.

not sure why mine was an exception. Most likely a glitch that could have been corrected if I emailed customer service. But I'll take the Battle Tanker set instead thank you :grin:
