Me Grimlock ordered first the mini warriors "not"-Seaspray and "not"-Huffer! For now (this month) Grimlock's money is empty. Me can only give a couple of cybertonium more, if they accept it! There is so much to buy. Next month I must order "not"-long haul and the next "not"-insecticon for example. Me Grimlock don't know when me have enough money to order "not"-Ratchet and "not"-Ironhide too. So... PLEASE Guys 'n Gals... spend Grimlock some money and some brain btw.

I hope you understand these are made by different groups.
You probably don't have any iGear seekers, the level of quality is far superior to Sonicron.

The scale is great in my opinion, as deluxe these characters would not work in their altmodes compared to other classics. On top of that the Autobots needed some voyagers to even it out.
No offense to both stores but if you pre-order them from the Igear shop you get free shipping and on top of that their prices are lower.

Wont you have to pay customs fees though?

Number One: Customer Service and Support are the biggest reasons.
I choose BBTS usually due to POL and Not charging your CC until it's shipped. Which is better, It means I have some time before both this 100$ figure, and this 100$ figure some out.
It means I can Pre-order PP05W (which I did the second this was posted) and I don't have to worry about missing it, and I don't have to pay for it until it's on its way to me.
I have the same logic going for TFC Not-Devy, break up that 600 figure over the course of 8 months, so I'm spending roughly 100 every month and a half and it's affordable.
No Offense to any one of the third party companies but I will not give CC information out overseas, with out some sort of Paypal transaction. Plus the difference in price is like 10$.
Then add in the customs tax, and it's worth just buying it from one of our great sponsors TFsource or BBTS.
I hope they post color pics soon.
and why hasn't BBTS taken per-orders for the PP03 seekers yet?
I still want "not Thrust"

Who knows.
The 'Not-Ironhide' looks pretty good.

A while back when TFSource put up the pre-orders for the iGear Seekers, I contacted BBTS to inquire if they would be putting up pre-orders as well. They told me that they won't be due to the product being too close on infringing on Hasbro/TT IP. I guess BBTS changed their mind with this batch of iGear figures...

Only one I am unsure of is Hotrod/Rodimus Prime. From pics I've seen, it looks like Hotrod is larger than voyager.
All though $120 is a bit too rich for my blood at the moment anyway so I don;t have to worry about it!

All your comments previous to what I've quoted are valid, except I'm unaware that TFClub is letting anyone order Hercules pieces directly from them, so you have to order from an online shop like BBTS or TFSource.
I've ordered from iGear directly in the past. They allow PayPal transactions AND I did not have to pay any additional customs taxes.
BBTS hasn't let me down yet, but this is simply a case of a cheaper price from the manufacturer. When I'm financially able, I will preorder the PP05 set directly from iGear.

Since that happen, me "Not"-Grimlock is very impressed, so Me do massivly more orders from TFscource!

If you are in the US then yes you can save some cash there. For anyone living outside the US it really doesn't matter, they can get the charge no matter what. When ordering from Igear you do get free shipping on top of the difference in price, so it was a go for me to buy it straight from the source.
I also don't know where they ship the items from. I got my Arcee from the UK so there was no import charge there as i am also located in Europe.

They will never have the iGear Seekers as they don't support iGear's decision to use MP Starscream's exact mold. If i am correct.

Well that would make sense. I mean all the new product are molds made from scratch. While they may fall close on the intellectual PR, they definitely are not straight clones of existing Hasbro product.
"not" iron hide is supposed to be 7 inches tall, so he's the right size to be G1 scaled with MP prime, and I mean the new one, not the old one.

I hope the people on here who are spending hundreds of dollars on fragile 3rd party toy robots are not of the same sort of nobodies I am. The stock market is plunging, the debt ceiling was raised, things look rather bleak. My neighbors across the street just had their house repossessed... I'm tightening my belt here, at the very least I should be spending my money where it's important.
