I'm going INSANE waiting for my pre-orders to arrive!!! Anyone know how soon they usually get their stuff after it hits retail?

It's kind of a crapshoot. Sometimes they totally beat retail (Wave 6) sometimes they are way behind. I am also going a little nuts waiting, and I have defintiely reached the limit of my tolerance for hunting in the past couple days (I hate it). I emailed them last night and got a prompt, polite, but totally clueless response from them this morning. They have no idea when it's coming, or at least didn't as of this morning, when their answer was "we cannot update the arrival information of that product at this time." Remember, this is not BBTS's fault, either; they are at the mercy of Hasbro when it comes to getting product.

I was just about to post this topic.
I preordered Wave 7 on the 1st or 2nd day they were available; no word yet. BBTS has been extremely inconsistent about getting new Joes. I usually end up cancelling my preorder because I find them at retail first. With the exception of Wave 6, which I got from BBTS first. Of course, I've only seen Wave 6 at retail one other time. All the TF stuff I preorder comes in "on time", so I don't know what the deal is. |

Here's my guess on when we'll see this wave 7 ship (for us that pre-ordered in the first few days at least). The wave 3 comic packs (the last wave of any Joes, comic or single packs) shipped about 15 or 20 days after it was first spotted at retail. I say that by the end of next weekend (the 11th) all of us that pre-ordered fairly early for wave 7 will have received an e-mail that wave 7 is shipping. BTW, I am also predicting that the wave 4 comic packs will be out by Memorial Day.

I decided to try cornerstone comics for Wave 7. They're actually local so I didn't have to pay too much for shipping. The problem is that I have no idea of my order status, or when they plan to ship.
I hate waiting.

Waiting does indeed suck. But it's a great feeling on the day you get that big box in the mail filled with new Joes!

The only reason I'm keeping my preorder is that I got it for 49.99 and that's pretty good when compared to retail stores. If I leave it in my pile of loot until the next couple of waves come out then I guess shipping won't be as bad so I'll have to restrain myself from just shipping each as they come available.

I was wondering when this thread would pop-up. ;)
I'm all about waiting for BBTS, considering that even AFTER shipping, it'll cost me about the same - or less - than retail, cause of the price hike.
