Has anyone who placed a wave 8 or wave 4 comic pack order with BBTS received it yet?
mine still showing as a pre-order, pretty sure i ordered them right after they put them on there website. wave 6 was delayed, wave 7 was pushed from April till June, not holding out any hopes on wave 8. gotta feel for BBTS < Hasbro dropped the ball it seems, BBTS probally has lost alot of $$$ over cancelled pre-orders

Last I checked, it shows arrive in June. Then again, I find them at retails already so I canceled mine.

You'd think Hasbro would fill BBTS first before retail....since Walmart gets everything first, its likely BBTS has to be pressuring hasbro to move it...maybe BBTS will get wave 9 first as they certainly deserve to after Hasbro cant deliver to them on time

Well, remember that stores like Wal-Mart and Target have the fastest, widest, best all-around distribution system, probably in the world. BBTS can't afford to compete with that, and doesn't buy nearly as much, so has to take what they can get when they can get.
I love BBTS and I pre-order everything I want there...but the beauty is being able to cancel if you happen to find it in the stores.

nope...my wave 8 preorder says "arrives May"...I'll probably find them before that. I already canceled my wave 4 comic preorder because I found them on Saturday. I've actually yet to complete a transaction with them...I always find them one way or the other before they get them. Oh well for them I suppose.

Im sure BBTS is hurting. They lost at least 200 bucks in sales from me alone when I cancelled 2 sets of wave 8 and 2 sets of wave 4 comic packs. Oh make that 250 because I canceled my second set of wave 7.
I found everything at retail and then some.

I also canceled a set of wave 8 and wave 4 comics. It's interesting that some other online retailers got some of these already and not BBTS.

as much as I feel for them and Dont want to cancel...

No, they haven't got them in yet, as far as I know. Never got Wave 7 from them either, yet some did.
I'm still waiting for Wave 8 to come out around here.

Yeah I find that kind of wierd too, I ordered wave 8 from EE last friday because everyone was saying that they had them in so I decided to give them a try and it has been shipped out and is on its way. Within a weeks time. I also preordered from BBTS (since january)and I thought them to be more on top of it, that they order more than EE but I guess its the other way around. Maybe someone at BBTS pissed someone of at Hasbro? I dont know just an asumption.

I was refered to nikkostoys.com by a friend who just found them by accident, and they seem to have all the waves as soon as they hit. I ordered my wave 7 over 3 weeks ago, and received them within days....and I just got my wave 8s, I had them on pre-order. They ship fast, packaged nice, and they're my new spot...just thought I'd pass it along.
Anyone else heard of them?

My W7 order was filled weeks ago, but I cancelled my W8 order after finding them in-store. I woulda just let it be, except I only wanted half of the figs and the single pricing isn't worth it unless you can't find them. Same with comic W4. I have no problem with BBTS pricing singles according to individual demand, so they should have no problem with me cancelling a preorder (one of many) if I find them cheaper elsewhere. http://s70.photobucket.com/albums/i116/hellion42/smilies/optimuslaugh.gif

Well, I'm not that lucky to find these figures at retail, unless it's at my store where I work. And even then, that's not guaranteed.
yeah, same here, hasbro doesn't like canada! I don't mind waiting but I orderednwave 7 early march, waited till april when they said theyd arrive, pushed till may, I was okay with that, when they pushed it till june, ouch, that hurt, wondering if wave 8 is going to be pushed till August?

So I ordered wave 7, got them within a few days...super fast, packaged very safely, and in excellent condition!! I went back and pre-ordered wave 8, and got them last week!! Just wanted to pass them on to you guys..cuz I've had my 7's for 3 weeks now!!

Ya..I thought the prices where a little high too, but I have been reading these replies for a while now listening to people complain they dont have there wave 7's and I've had mine for about a month and already had 8's at the time. I also noticed that the prices drop after a week of them being in stock. It seems like it is a regular thing with the price drops, at first I was p/o cause I paid more..then the price dropped in a few days. Plus you pay that much on good ol ebay anyways!!

I wrote BBTS just yesterday about when they might be expecting their orders for waves 7 and 8 to arrive and this is what I received in reply:
"I apologize but we do not have any updated or more specific arrival
info as we are completely dependent on the manufacturer."
Saw the above posts and checked my order for wave 8. Not processing yet. I wonder why the normally so-reliable BBTS has been getting the short end of the stick from Hasbro lately? Seems virtually every other e-tailer has gotten their shipments for waves 7 and 8 by now.

You can access your order status from the "My Account" page.
It's possible that they were shorted on their Wave 8 shipment and not all pre-orders will be filled. It may just take a few minutes for them to go through all the orders.

Ok, I guess my Wave 7 is processing, as it says so on the Preorder page.
Just go to "My Account", then "View Preorders". Should be next to the Sub-Total.
This is actually the first time I've noticed that it says Processing there. I always receive an email letting me know my order is processing, so I never have to look at that page. But this time i didn't.
my wave 4 comic packs are processing, but not my wave 8 yet

I've got wave 8 from Enterainment Earth over a week ago. Also found enough wave 7 to satisfy my army and a even a case of wave 8 which I used to open. My wave 8 from EE came in the sealed hasbro case stashed inside a large box. The cards are straight and clean as they could possibly be. I am not going to open these though.
Michael Jade
05-28-2008, 09:10 PM
My Shipwreck/Cooperhead pack and the Storm Shadow/Firefly packare processing too. It's about time something processes there before I find it at retail.
Everything else I have is backed up till July. Good thing I scored waves 7 and 8 at Wal-mart this week.
EDIT: Check your emails guys. I just got the notification that my order is ready for shipping. Nice!!!

my wave 4 is in my pile of loot, but no action on my wave 8, anyone else get to seperate e-mails? 1 stating your wave 4 is processed and in your pile of loot, then a seperate e-mail about wave 8. or were they processed all at once. just wondering if they were maybe shorted cases again and filling what they can in the order recieved

Just got my processing notification this morning (5/29/08) for the Wave 7 case I preordered from BBTS on February 13. I also preordered both Wave 8 and the first revision case (with two PP officers) around the same time so I hope at least one of those will be processed soon.
I have had no luck finding Wave 7 or 8 at retail and was just about ready to give up hope on receiving my stuff from BBTS... Here's hoping that Wave 9 and beyond will be better!

I just got my email last night just after I canceled my order for wave 4 comic packs. I noticed that revision 1 had two of each of the new ones where as the regular assortment had two of FF/SS, SW/CH and only one Duke & Red Star. I guess I'll have to wait a while for my comic packs.

I just got my W7 last week, and my W4 Firefly and Nin-Jor...I mean Storm Shadow... should be here monday...Still no word on the W8, but no biggie on that one...I just really wanted my Snake Eyes hehe.
But someone here said that someone at BBTS may have pissed off someone at Hasbro...I'd have to agree on that. Once I get my W8 and Vehicle1 set, I'm done with them...I think Hasbro will really step up and fix all distribution problems, and JOES will be easier to find everywhere....
...Least' I hope so
emailed- BBTS today asking about wave 8,( my wave 4 comics are in my Pile Of Loot) Jessica said the rest of their wave 8 shipment won't be in till end of june. i passed on a few wave 8 cases at other e-tailers because of the pile of loot, but i think from now on if another e-tailer gets them 1st i'll order fro them and cancel BBTS. Wave 6, 7, and 8 all have been partial orders and pushed back.

If they did piss someone off at Hasbro, my guess would be it's because they are honest in their opinion about Hasbro's policies. May not be good for their business, but unlike some of these places, at least they try to stick up for their customers best interests.
Michael Jade

The guy that owns my local comic/ toy store gave up on Hasbro. They never send him anything and when they do the cases aren't what he ordered.

Yeah, that's typical Hasbro policy, replace an item with equal or most likely lesser value both in retail and desire to own.

damn man thats freaking horrible
end of june?
with as much as BBTS has ordered I remember something in the area of 500-800 cases at a time.....
I can't believe hasbro would shit on them so badly
I really feel for BBTS I would like to have canceled my pre-orders but I am glad I didn't because alot of people here need them so I was able to 'get rid of it' rather cheaply while still covering my cost
I wish hasbro would realize that getting the stuff first makes or breaks a small company and it will reflect in thier prices
I have seen a full set of the new waves going at higher prices now Than previously 4-5$ higher than other e-tailers.
I Also can see the price of army builders being raised to 13.99+ a figure in the near future. sucks for those who only want that particular product..
but it will be good for those of us who want the figs no one else does and when they go on clearance will be 3.99
I managed to get almost all of the wave 1-2 COMIC PACKS (2 SETS)
SHIPPED IN 'POL' FOR 5.99 EACH...(per 2 PACK)
good for me bad for bbts....
i will support them while i can but i think other than 1-2 cases at a time of joes I will be sticking to ee for the larger orders and the smaller ones i will go with bbts 1-2 CASES
Figuring i have sold all my extras for pretty much cost.. it will work out for me ;)

We are actually waiting to hear back from our Hasbro rep to find out if they can tell us when the rest of the shipment will arrive. I was under the impression that it would be by the end of June but I was mistaken -we don't have an estimated time yet, sorry!

I haven't had my preorder filled. But I didn't order a case, I ordered the set of 8 figures, which means one of each. So that may be way.
I preordered on April 7th.
