Yes, it's only "fair" to be selfish and greedy and not give a shit about any other collector even though this is supposed to be a community of fans. I'll have my case but many of you won't. That sucks and if it weren't my sons, I would give someone my extra snow serpent for the bbts price plus shipping. I haven't been to the joe isle since mid Feb. because of "fans" who buy everything that someone else will buy so that they can sell it at a higher price. Could this be a reason for the Hasbro 25% increase? I bet so! If I end up sending for a third doc in time, I will offer it here before I customize into him. If their is a taker on my offering, I will do a little research and someone will get that doc for $10 plus the shipping. No packing supply fee or any other BS. Promise! Why? Because I refuse take advantage of someone who is as best I know, a collector like me. Say it!

That's about the silliest thing I've seen posted in a long time. Reserving something is the same as putting them in your cart? That's nonsense. Putting something in your cart is physically having control over the items. I don't really get you comparison.
We aren't at Walmart buddy. We are pre-ordering items that the seller doesn't have in his posession. Hasbro could just as easily cancel all those internet cases. Let's see how your Walmart comparison works for ya then. How is than any different than BBTS having availablity posted? Hopefully, my letter to BBTS changes their minds and you lose two of your cases and two other people who fairly ordered a case can get one. I was indifferent to it until you started selfishly yapping. Now the letter is sent, we'll see what happens. sounds like someone is a little Bitter............. Dood F'ckin Relax this is ridiculous about the excitment over the availability of some toys that are not even limited... I am starting to be minded of Pre-school with all this complaining. (Does someone need a diaper change) :P Just because Susie has the "new crayons" and yours are broken or missing Who CARES!? she was first in line its not like there wont be enough crayons for you to draw your pictures... You Forgetting WHO IS MAKING THESE TOYS Hasbro! How Many times has the crimson guard been redone.. 1. Reg Issue 2. FRED 3. TRU 3 Pack Also Look at the Cobra Officer and DUKE C/O Has been redone like 10 TIMES! they are in this thing to make MONEY I know I saw a pack of B.A.T.S Army builders at TRU a couple years ago... who's to say they wont make a 5 Pack of BATS or something to go with the FIRE FLY VS. Green Shirts? Cobra Night Watch Anyone/Ninja 5 pack anyone? Did you ever think for a second that is maybe the reason no one has heard anything about the FF VS GS 5 Pack? so they can ship these items together in 4Q 2008? I am not gonna panic about the bats situation I ordered 2 Cases of the Stuff.... and if i get the I.E. cases I ordered COOL if not "Cool" I will be a little miffed but i wont be STUCK... because I AM SURE Someone on here will take them off my hands @ cost! for the ones I don't want.. I am not trying to pick on your directly Roadblock but this goes out to all the people who are trippin about stuff that is 3 MONTHS AWAY 1. Life is way to full of other stuff to worry about than who gets what (if getting some B.A.T.S cases from BBTS is your biggest concern right now I suggest you Dissconnet your modem and go to your phone book and Look up LOCAL THERAPISTS in your area.. there are many more REAL LIFE ISSUES that this trivial stuff 2. These B.A.T.S Are gonna be everywhere at some point (mark my words!) 3. Hasbr0 is going to make an army builder pack (i am willing to PLACE MONEY ON THIS!) some how someway they will have them available in a multi pack who knows how but they will.. 4. Calm Down/Stop fighting 5. Instead of picking on each other why not work together for those of us building army's for every 4 you buy at retail why not offer your team members one at cost? (no one says you have to do this its just a suggestion!) 6. I hope that everyone here can try to understand where I am coming from on this whole subject and if i piss you off or your offended by reality then TFS... I am not on a high horse... or trying to be involved in this but at the same point i am trying to help these people realize how foolish they look bickering or stuff they don't even have in thier posession or wont have in thier posession for MONTHS. Think About this you COULD DIE TOMORROW or your HOUSE COULD BURN TO THE GROUND. You Could be out a JoB and then what the hell are you going to do with your all those BATS? your whole spectrum of thinking will change DRAMATICALLY. Try to keep that in the back of your mind when the next time you decided to complain about who has what... Be thankful for what you have in your posession at this time A PLACE TO LIVE, HEALTH, A JOB, and People Who care about you (hopefully!) And if somehow you are able to have little plastic army men to bring you a few hours of a Joy to you a day then So Be it Thanks I am going to hop off by box now..... OK THX BAI :P |

Didn't mean to point fingers. I want to be friends here. My main point is that we (the people who buy this line) are the ones getting screwed here and there. And it's us who are doing the screwing a lot of the time. I mean, thru this line, I had began to grab pegwarmers and also bought extra singles of the first 5 packs from ebay to have custom bases. That was in fear that I'd not be able to get them again. I just think this is a great line and I'm glad to see characters that I remember resemble the originals (usually). We probably all feel the same and it can be obsessive I think.
