If there's anything you've been wanting, but just not had the money to buy, this would probably be a good time to get it.
Too bad I already have my Insecticon army... would've been much nicer to get all 9 of 'em at ~$35 apiece, as opposed to $50. But eh, what's done is done. Unfortunately, my impatience means that there's nothing that I particularly want here. |

3 Insecticons for $120 is too good to pass up. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-ironhide.gif)

I'm glad I saw this thread, or I might have missed this. I just got the Insecticons and the iGear Kup/Perceptor weapons. I'm so pumped. Considering I couldn't have gotten this stuff at Botcon anyway (supposedly), it's no different just buying it now.

Those of a suspicious bent might see this as a sign that BBTS is trying to clear out their stock before Hasbro comes after them with a C&D.

There's nothing I want (didn't even click the link) as I'm buying hardly any real Transformers these days, never mind 3rd party stuff. Randy --------------------  |

I suppose they could threaten to remove BBTS's distributorship or whatever. --------------------  Eventually, I think. - Temp |

Well this is a plesant suprise. I just hope the Reprolabels stuff isn't making me miss out on some of the good deals. Since they pretty much put the whole Reprolabels catalogue up there, making a tad harder to find actual figures.

And yes, I was too lazy to come up with a decent TF related forum name, and just *GASP* used my own. |

BBTS is still listing 3rd party preorders. I wouldn't freak out about it. Even if they can't, there is always a way.

I thought the Insecticons at full price were well worth it. No regrets. |

Aw, dammit, Flameblast sold out. Least I finally got Warcry.

This is only to thin their stock of old items, I'd say. As others have mentioned, there's still tons of preorders, some even rather new!

This would normally be an excellent opportunity to grab that Battle Tanker and Warcry. Alas, I've got other things currently needing my set-aside finances.

They weren't going to be at BotCon anyways. Although they usually have a BotCon sale on the site in those cases. |

Besides, that's kind of an empty threat from Hasbro, considering their most recent failure to fill orders. It's hard to sell Hasbro toys that Hasbro doesn't manufacture. --------------------   |

jumped on the (not)insecticon bandwagon... decided to wait for the inevitable battle tanker repaint to go with my BotCon SG UltraMag.
