PLEASE NOTE: Hasbro has just informed us that there will be a huge shortage on the Wave 9 - Revision 2 case assortment.
This shortage will affect ALL stores that are selling this assortment, and all stores will receive only a small fraction of their orders. We pre-sold our entire first order of product before being alerted by Hasbro about this problem, so there will be many orders for the Revision 2 case that we cannot fill, and must send substitute waves for. Because Hasbro cannot fill our order, and did not alert us of the shortage until it was too late, the best we can do is to substitute the "Wave 9 - Revision 2" case with either a "Wave 9", or "Wave 9 - Revision 1" case (both assortments will be used at random as substitutes). We will fill as many of the Revision 2 orders as we can, but we estimate that everyone who ordered after ~3:00 AM Central Standard Time on Wednesday April 9th, will have their order filled with a substitute wave instead. The substitute case contents are listed below, both include a full set of 6 new figures, and also two figures from previous waves. We apologize for Hasbro's errors with this assortment. If you are uncomfortable with the uncertainty of this substitute situation, the only thing we can recommend at this point is cancelling your preorder for the Wave 9 - Revision 2 case, and placing a preorder for either Wave 9, or Wave 9 - Revision 1 - we expect those cases to fill normally, and without surprises. The Wave 9 - Revision 2 Case contains: 2x B.A.T. 2x Snow Serpent 1x Hawk 1x Bazooka 1x Barbeque 1x Storm Shadow (Black) The substitution waves would be one of the two case assortments below: The Wave 9 Case contains: 1x Torpedo 1x Wild Bill 1x B.A.T. 1x Snow Serpent 1x Hawk 1x Bazooka 1x Barbeque 1x Storm Shadow (Black) The Wave 9 - Revision 1 Case contains: 1x Major Bludd 1x Flash 1x B.A.T. 1x Snow Serpent 1x Hawk 1x Bazooka 1x Barbeque 1x Storm Shadow (Black) |

Well, my order was put in Tuesday morning...so it seems I'm safe.
It sucks for you guys at BBTS to be put in that situation though. I don't envy all the angry emails and calls you are probably going to be getting. And sorry to all of you guys who won't be getting this case. It seems that awesome assortment really was too good to be true, for some anyways. |

I'm just wondering who else was offering this Internet Exclusive case. Was it only a BBTS thing?

I ordered that set yesterday at 3:30pm. Looks like I missed the boat. I am definitely going to cancel this order.

I placed mine a few minutes after the first post appeared about it here, so I hope that I got mine in time. But, at least Hasbro/BBTS is letting us know about shortages beforehand for once. This isn't usually the case.
