I noticed a sales meter and 3 stretch goals linked to the BBTS preorders. That’s got to be a first outside of a KS campaign.

What's their turnaround time, usually? Do we know if these are similar to a KS time window? Or if BBTS prepaid to have them made... so they'll get here sooner?
I want to order some of them, in case it's a relatively limited run. Just trying to find out. |

Don’t know. I am taking it like a pre-order from any indie toy maker that could be a few month to a year.

I don't do FB. Can someone that does ask them when we will be charged for the pre-order? Immediately, in 4 weeks at the end of ore-ordering, or when I ship my pile of loot, if I decide to go that route?
Thanks.

I read over it a few times, looks like they'll go the usual preorder route and charge when it becomes available 4th quarter, 2022:

This partnership with BBTS is an amazing opportunity for us for many reasons, A) It allows us to reach a larger audience thanks to BBTS customer base, B) BBTS will manage fulfillment, C) Fans can manage their orders via the BBTS website and D) Fans don’t need to pay for their order until the items ship from BBTS

Hey Everyone! The Eagle Force 40th Anniversary line is still a go, but with a twist. In a last minute pivot, we have decided to not use Kickstarter for our Eagle Force 40th Anniversary line. Don’t get me wrong, we love Kickstarter. It’s a great platform and it helped to connect us to our fanbase and build an amazing community around Eagle Force. We’re not abandoning KS, but as we were in the middle of the final prep for our campaign we got an opportunity to go a different direction thanks to online retailer BigBadToyStore (BBTS). BBTS has been helping to support our Eagle Force Returns follow up waves (5&6) and saw a lot of potential in what we were planning for the Eagle Force 40th Anniversary line. They offered to partner with us so we could offer 2 waves of the Eagle Force 40th Anniversary figures out the gate without having to crowdfund. The 12 figures include the Captain Eagle (with an updated version of Talon, his trusty eagle companion), demolitions expert Sgt. Brown, the ace mechanic Harley, the sharpshooter Stryker, the evil dictator General Mamba, R.I.O.T. Saboteur Nemesis, the R.I.O.T. Shock Trooper, and Ivan the R.I.O.T. Russian arms dealer. Additional figures include Eagle Force Mega: Strike Force leader Maverick, Monster Force: Crimson Moon Legionnaires, Count Ironblood and Kiloworg troopers. Plus we’re also offering accessory and figure stand packs to outfit your previous Eagle Force figures. This partnership with BBTS is an amazing opportunity for us for many reasons, A) It allows us to reach a larger audience thanks to BBTS customer base, B) BBTS will manage fulfillment, C) Fans can manage their orders via the BBTS website and D) Fans don’t need to pay for their order until the items ship from BBTS. "But what about all the stretch goals we were going to try to reach?” BBTS is going to support that as well. They are hosting a 4 week Eagle Force 40th Anniversary Event starting today. As pre-orders sales climb they’ll unlock new figures, just like Kickstarter. When figures unlock you’ll be able to add them on to your existing order. Although pre-orders will remain active on the BBTS site for some time, new figures will only unlock during the 4 week event. It’s best to get your pre-orders in now, so more figures can get unlocked during the event. This decision was not made lightly. We really do value Kickstarter and all of your support. Thanks for all your support bringing back Eagle Force. We and BBTS hope this new offering is something you’ll support as well. For updates follow the Eagle Force Toys Twitter account or follow Fresh Monkey Fiction on Facebook,Instagram and Twitter or visit the website. Also, we’re hosting a live stream tonight 10/11/21 at 7PM pst on the Fresh Monkey Fiction Facebook Page, feel free to join us. Don’t forget we still have limited quantities of our current Eagle Force Returns action figures available at ZicaToys.com. Thanks FMF

Thanks for that news, Mr Hebime.
I just placed my BigBadToyStore pre-order, minutes after reading your shared announcement. Actually glad it's not a KickStarter event, and wonder if anyone else feels the same way? |

Someone can correct if wrong, but I believe these work like any other BBTS preorders in terms of when you pay. What's different with this KS-style event is that BBTS is using initial preorders to unlock if/when additional items get "unlocked" to be preordered (The Cat is apparently already 50% there).

No problem Playful. I'm relieved as well, the thought of having to spend more cash after the Vietnam KS really had my budget spread thin.
