Yes you need to buy more!

This update is also a few days old as well, It just never got posted so I figured I would get it on the record.

Then tell them to get some stuff that I can't just get from the Wal-Mart across town!

BBTS is great for imports(excluding MP Megatron) and maybe some loose bots from a season or two back. On regular retail items though, I just can't see paying an increased price plus shipping.

Still, that Animal Puppet is looking pretty darn tempting though

Yeah, I didn't get this email either! But, you've got a point, I don't think I've ever bought any domestic mass-release merchandise from their site. Just statues and imports. Maybe they should focus more on that. Though, someone must be buying this stuff from them.

BBTS can be a godsend if you live outside the US where the distribution is a lot more hit and miss.
