Yeah, got my chopshop, shockwave, and warrior fracture ordered, I love it when they get new stock in around a holiday and you can stack benefits (stunticons around easter (20%+free shipping), protectobots around 4th of July (15%+free shipping), (though I got them earlier) the '84 'bot's and others now (20%+free shipping)...)

Yup! Jumped on that bus as it drove by. 
Got RID fracture too.
@WJ88 - Guess I was wrong about no new purchases til after the holidays. Can't beat that deal.

Yeah, bbts hasn't even got a pre-order up for fracture, but hts has them in stock already... nothing about their distribution makes any sense anymore - the one thing that always seemed to stay the same was that hts got 'em last
, same goes for the legends figures, maybe they wanted to push them for the holidays, or something? Doesn't matter it's an infinitely better deal than anything through bbts or the like

I am glad to see everyone is getting good deals, but no need to diss BBTS. We always knew those guys were never about the price. Most big retailers have discounts on TFs all the time anyways (and I just get a raincheck so that I get the upcoming figures for cheap) which usually makes BBTS the pricier place. BBTS was never about the price. They are there because some collectors dont want to worry about getting their figure. Some dont check this site every day anyways and if they check it a week from today then this news wont help them. BBTS is there so that you can avoid the distribution hassle, get help if there is anything wrong with your figure and for some ensure that the box has a particular grade.
I see a ven diagram in my head of which kinds of fans order from which places, but I am too tired now. The point is as long as you are happy, no need to diss other retailers.

Sorry about that. I didn't mean to insult, I was just glad to get a good price.

Just happened by and saw this post. Got all 3 with the fastest shipping. Wonder what happened to Pipes.

Well, it's more the issue of them raising prices for figures like shockwave, because he is more sought after, they increase his price by $3, same goes for onslaught, $32 and he still sold out;
I don't know if this was to offset the fact that buzzsaw and pipes and (not)scattershot might shelfwarm, but, by that logic, then they could lower their (pipes, et al) by a similar amount to encourage people to buy them too (I would definitely consider tossing pipes in my p.o.l. if he were $7 (-$3 for shockwaves +$3 if this is the case)); or if this is a case of extorting money for a figure that people want, but, if this is the case, it's not cool, and I have every right to not only not buy it through them, but to also diss it. If both of these aren't the case, then I'm not sure what it is.
I think the bottom line is: tf distribution is total chaos, and plays by no ones rules

Dude its fine, I was writing in general, not targeting you specifically. No one did anything wrong here, I just wanted to remind people that the retailers compliment each other to ensure that we get our toys no matter what

Yeah... aren't they shipped as a case in the same box? Maybe they're pulling a rook and won't get him uploaded onto the site until much later

I think this is precisely why they up the price. Eesh, that 32$ is pretty darn steep. And I think you have a damn fine idea there. If something is raised, why not lower the other? It would be cool to see how the MSRP could be deviated from in both directions.

I mean, come on... $33 for onslaught, why not sell scattershot for $7 then, bet he would fly off their virtual shelves then - I'd buy it, and I hate the idea of him... I don't want to, or like dissing them, they have great customer service and fulfill an important role for us, but stuff like this => http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=HAS24821&mode=retail bugs the sh!t outta me - hotspot is still $30 there

Well, this happens with every wave, some of the wave are uploaded, some aren't until later. If clampdown shows up, I'll get him, underbite, and thunderhoof (assuming there aren't two order pages up for him at that time )
And being completely fair about tf retailers, tfsource doesn't even stock or sell the rid figures, so there's that for limiting options

RID Warrior Fracture and the new wave of Deployers are also available, and so I purchased Overload and Fracture along with the three Legends cons.
This means my shipped package is superior to most other forms of holiday purchases...
