When 2008 Bumblebee Deluxe arrives for Big Bad Toy Store I was hoping to order it.

So I just got a few questions for those who have purchased previous selections of Transformer toys from BBTS.

1. What are the chances that my 2008 Bumblebee Deluxe will be damaged, or certain parts may be out of place or broken or not painted (as previously someone ordered Arcee from somewhere and it had no face.)

2. Does it ship to Australia?

3. How much does shipping cost standard in US dollars? (I'll convert it).

4. Do you have to be a member to order it?

Thanks to all those who can help and appreciate the time.

You'll have to be really fast. Also the chances are that by the time they are listed as in stock, and if you haven't pre-ordered, they'd be gone in a flash. So you probably will not get one unless you have already pre-ordered. Keep in mind that even for myself who have pre-ordered in July, the arrival date keeps getting pushed back to August, September, and now October. So as soon as stocks are available they'll probably be soaked up by those of us who have pre-ordered.

The same chances as ordering from anywhere else online. Luck of the draw, dependent not on whom you order from.

2. Does it ship to Australia?
It should.

3. How much does shipping cost standard in US dollars? (I'll convert it).

You need to e-mail. What I did was become a member first, then when I ordered stuff it got calculated for me. It's hard for them to tell you how much what costs to where, unless you can e-mail customer service with the exact order. Then they can estimate it for you.

4. Do you have to be a member to order it?
I believe you need to register. You definitely need to be one if you want to use the Pile of Loot feature, very useful for us foreign boys. Let's you save on the shipping quite dramatically by holding paid for items until enough has accumulated.

Ok I might get them after a few weeks time. I don't want my toy to be damaged.
