...and i'm in; i'm not even that high on the vamp or armadillo, but i ordered the set... here's hoping the Serpentor is the faithful ARAH version we've been hearing about, and that Breaker comes with a smaller head.
Whatever the case may be, I can see me here in a couple of months selling off what will then be almost worthless loose Serpentor & Breaker v 1s and possible that Armadillo & Vamp.

I put my pre order in too. Just like most of you, if i find them in stores, i will cancel. I have started to realize that when my son arrives this may, i won't have alot of time to go exploring for joe stuff anymore so it looks like pre order from now on...

I just put my preorders in. There's no need to get two of each battle pack for me, just got one. I did; however, get two sets of vehicles. Out of them I only had the HISS tank when I was a kid, so this is great.

Wow, I went to bed last night about 2 minutes before this news was posted. Thanks for the update. I ordered the vehicles and battle packs this morning!

Against my better judgement I preordered vehicles and battle packs. I'm wary until we know what the MSRP is, but since they aren't expected until July that can be worried about later.

I hear ya. If I see these at retail before and at lower prices, I'll pick them up. This is just a precaution. I've only ever needed to cancel one order of Star Wars figures. Everything else came before I could find them at retail or on the same day they were shipped.

Hasbro has the MSRP posted as 14.99 for the vehicles and 19.99 for the DVD packs so the markup is only $5 on each set of the preorders. I'll gladly pay that to avoid wasting gas and 20 trips to the store to see empty shelves and pegs.

BBTS = MSRP + ~10% + shipping (which is less than 10% if you get a nice PoL together) WM/Target/TRU = MSRP + 9.5% tax + $6-$8 in gas IF I find them the first trip. If have have to search or make multiple trips because they don't all hit stores at once, the gas costs get MUCH worse. Bottom line, the cost is about the same to me for either option. With BBTS: - I don't have to hunt or worry about beating scalpers to the store at the crack of dawn. - I don't have to worry about my Doc stickers (or anything else) being missing/crushed/damaged. - I don't have to inspect to make sure I'm not getting a repacked CORPS figure. - I don't have to read the 95 page threads on items X,Y,& Z being found at retail. - I don't have to care because I know mine's coming. Otherwise I'd be at the ready, waiting to hear that they've hit retail, and I'd scurry off wasting $8 in gas, only to find "Buzzer-fest '08". No thanks, my time is worth something. BBTS rules.
