that's what I will likely have to do, pay tax AND shipping though on that.

I am really looking forward to these.
I hope they stay away from the cheap plastic, but I doubt it. Glad to see file cards are inside the package, but I just hate the art style. Looks horrible. Does anyone know in what order these will be released? Last edited by Rangeviper88; 06-29-2015 at 06:55 PM.. Reason: opined |

Ordering from TRU online just means crushed cardbacks. Not to mention a limit of 2 per order. And they take forever to ship. But at this point that might be the only way besides in store to get them. There has been much talk of BBTS getting these, but I do not recall Hasbro claiming this. I think we just assumed that would be the case. Unless they are not doing pre orders and they will just go live on the street date.

Not only that, but earlier this year, Entertainment Earth finally started getting 50th Phase 1 earlier this year as well.

My experience with TRU's shipping has always been that they pack very poorly and items almost always arrive with damaged packaging. My MP Optimus came bouncing around in a large box with zero packing materials to cushion it and the Star Wars Black Series figures I ordered were completely off the cardbacks and loose in the box when delivered. I have also had several problems with them shipping an incorrect item and it usually takes forever to get through their system and all the holds to get it worked out over the phone. The last time I had that happen I called them and they told me to call back another day as they were having system issues and couldn't authorize returns. So between that and their crazy prices on most things I pretty much have written TRU off. I will wait until BBTS gets them in. If last years 50th are any indication they shouldn't be that hard to find later on. I do wish BBTS had preorders up though just to simplify matters. I really enjoyed last year being able to lock them in months ahead of time.

Definitely picking up Gung Ho & Shadow Guard. Leaning towards yes on Blowtorch & Croc Master, slightly less on Steel Brigade & Iron Grenadier since I have the SB already.
I don't need a new CC (still like the blue POC one) and no interest in Shipwreck, so that is out. The tough one for me is Spirit & SS. I do not have a Spirit and only have a ROC SS. Despite this being a VS pack, SS could be a Joe given his look.

The only good thing with ordering through TRU is they replace damaged ordered. On 2 occasions I received my Danger at the Docks set and the Eel had a broken backpack peg. They sent the replacement free of shipping and told me to keep the broken set. I got a couple extra Vamps, sky hawks, and flints. That made me happy.
