Oddly enough, I skipped the Masterpieces and went straight for that MiB Gun.

Well considering that close to 1k ( much to do with Green Giant's expense ) has been spent there this year it is much appreciated the way to go is with the Pile of loot action....patience is a virtue but it does help your shipping cost

Companies cannot operate with giving away their product. I feel that BBTS is pretty fair with prices overall and have good customer service. :BOWDOWN:

Agreed..Once I started using the POL feature BBTS became pretty much the only retailer online I purchase from.

BBTS is ALWAYS my primary choice for grabbing TF's (I only buy online, never locally) and if they don't have it, I hit ToyArena, and if they don't have it, I go to ebay/Amazon/a few other online retailers.

I have Seibertron.com to thank for showing me that BBTS and ToyArena exist, otherwise my collection would suuuuuck. Instead, thanks to them, I've got darn near every Transformer that currently exists that I have even the slightest desire to have in my collection (save for a few ultra rare pieces that are practically never seen on ebay or anywhere else).

I know BBTS typically costs more. I don't care. I have yet to have any problems with them that were not resolved IMMEDIATELY and with exactly 0 hassle, and those issues themselves were extremely few and far between (I have spent many thousands of $ @BBTS).

I appreciate the price drop, but I already had all 3 pre-ordered even when the prices were at their highest before any of the price drops that took place in the last few days.

I was very pleased to receive the discount on all three figures today. It definitely made me feel much better about my purchase.

The one thing I wish they would improve upon is their packaging. I have received several figures from BBTS, where the Transformer boxes were dinged up pretty bad because of they were not protected enough from shipping. I never get that problem with TFSource.

lol, $6 off... still, might be enough to make me bite. Just a bit more than RK but BBTS shipping is a whole lot cheaper.

Edit: Oh, more than a $6 drop...their initial price was higher than I thought.

Just curious as to why they went from Sideswipe directly to Red Alert, instead of going with the obvious choice being Sunstreaker. I know it's going to eventually happen, but if I wanted to buy two of the same mold, I'd at least want the brothers at the same time.

Because Sunstreaker isn't the obvious choice since he's got an entriley different bot mode.
