The Energon Pub

I just received an email from BBTS, letting me know that my preorder is ready to ship. If you've already got a preorder, then you probably already know that it's shipping due to your own email alerts, but for those of you who didn't preorder, you won't have to wait if you want it.

Phew. I just found one on eBay for $95 with free shipping and cancelled my preorder yesterday. Just in time. Saved 15 bucks. The same seller had a Gasket Police Type for $40, so I picked them both up with free shipping.

I'm very wary about exclusive preorders like this, when it comes to getting them off eBay. I've had a couple incidents where the packaging was supposed to be in perfect condition, and they had been partially bent during packing. With BBTS, when I click on "Collector" it's going to be in perfect shape, and I can send it back if it's not.

I'm glad you saved some lettuce though!

Yeah, we'll see how it goes. <crosses fingers>

If worse comes to worse, I have Paypal buyer's protection, but it would be a lot of hassle. It should be here in a few days.

Thus goes out something 10x it's worth and 100x the cost of production!
And yes I'm just jealous that I can't afford one.

That happens every now and then on eBay, but I open my TFs, so packages don't really matter most of the time.
