Well, those of us who were hoping for the happy Christmas morn' with new japanese imports...we might be waiting a bit longer.

Listings for the Encore Re-Issue of Skylinx, and the Japanese release of the CLASSICS line, have had the pre-order date changed at BBTS.

Previously, in a BigBadToyStore update letter it had been announced that many items of the japanese exclusive import Transformers style would be available before Christmas.

New evidence, however, seems to point to the opposite. Sky Lynx looks to be later than expected (February), and the J-CLASSICS are now scheduled to be in by March.

Good news for those with tighter budgets around this holiday season. Sort of a let down though, for those who were really excited to see all of these coming this month!

You can still expect to see Encore Ironhide and Ratchet, as well as, Music Label Soundblaster arriving soon, as previously stated.

I assume Joel at BBTS will clear this up in his next letter, but we all have to understand what a busy time of year this is, so a mistake was made. As I said, good news for many of us.

We'll keep you updated when we have a sure answer for the why's, when's, and how's, as soon as we know more.

And JOEL, don't worry, we still love BBTS!

More Bots. More News. More Awesome.
