I think it's much easier dealing with an actual company rather than a private seller. Also it is normally much cheaper than eBay and you don't have to spend any money up front for the preorder. In fact you can cancel anytime, even after it's been processed and in the warehouse. I think they are very professional and courteous. I think people are overreacting and getting emotional over a preorders. I'm going to stick with them because it is the best way to get my joe-fix. |

I don't mind the wait too much. Anyway, it's not like my area stores will be getting them in anytime soon. The Targets by me got rid of their pegs. TRU never had any. KB hasn't had a shipment in two months and the only Wal-Mart that ever carried them just put out the cases they had sitting in the back for the past few months because there were no pegs.
I go through BBTS so I don't have to go through the BS of my area stores.

Is BBTS any good? I'm only asking because like Monkey Wrench I'm in the same boat. Everybody is finding these figs in my area and I can't find them. It could be because I'm not hitting the stores early. Of course I can't either seeing how I have to be at work at 7am. I'm getting tired of driving from store to store and coming up empty handed. I do get lucky once in awhile, but that's like once in a blue moon. So any help would be appreciated

The only reason BBTS will lose money is because they charge 10 dollars for a 5 dollar figure. Again, I know they are out to make a profit too, but they only hurt themselves. If they were charging say 6.99 I'd say that most people would keep their preorders and not hassle with hunting.

I was getting sick of driving everywhere and spending so much money in gas to come up with maybe one figure every 7-10 trips. It wasn't worth it, and now I just bought a new home a few months ago and am further away from my usual stops, so BBTS is a blessing to me. I would spend more money in gas than for their price PLUS shipping.

Yeah, I buy by the case as well... except for troop building purposes. Lousy Guardsmen, had to look so freaking cool.

I say we just all be patient. I live 2 miles from my wm and I just haven't been hitting it at the right time, plus my insider hasn't been there in a while so I'll keep searching but untill then I will have to keep my preorders just in case
