After Friday if I don't come out with any toys from the store (due to my high frustration in wasted gas daily searching 3-4 stores and finding next to nothing) I am probably going to turn to pre-orders online. Yeah they can run a few bcks more, but for peace of mind and no more driving around all panicked I'll have then shipping to me.

Anyway do any of you have some good recommendations as to where are good places to re-order through? Digital Toys looks like their prices are fairly reasonable.

Any feedback would be wonderful. Just looking for a good long-term reliable pre-order place you all have used and recommend.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Eh, I would wait. They can really screw you with shipping on the preorder stuff. You'll get a quote of $10 shipping for the contents of your whole shopping cart, but in reality ... they will ship as they are released. 1 at a time @ 6 to 8 bucks a pop.

Add that to the few extra dollars of the general cost ... WHAMMY!

Unless you are wanting 1 specific figure, which you don't ... I'd wait.

This is what I'm going through right now, once I noticed this happening I called and cancelled a lot of preorders.

ok, but say I just want to pre-order one thing or a batch of things available NOW. Where is a good place to go? Surely people know....

I get most of my preorders from Big Bad Toy Store (bbts) and they've never done me wrong. I'm expecting MP Skywarp from them and had ordered all my Takara reissues and Binaltechs from them in the past.

And while you're there, check out their Pile of Loot feature. Pretty much solves your problems when it comes to shipping.
