Fantastic Four Pre-Order at BBTS

Nexodusrex · 06-23-2011, 09:37 AM

ok. I'm going to say it. I'm going to buy 2 Mr Fantastics. only cause I'm going to do a head swap with my human torch.

Tiberius · 06-23-2011, 10:47 AM

The more I look at that FF set, the less I want it. I'll see what retail holds =3

omega145 · 06-23-2011, 10:50 AM

Ill wait on retail for all the 3 packs. I've been able to find every single 3 pack thus far. The only 3 pack I didnt buy was the goon pack for 13 bucks at TRU which I now regret not picking up.

I made the same mistake, but I didn't buy any of them. I really shoulld of loaded up on the goon pack, live and learn. I will be picking up all 3 packs too. Think I will get Avengers first though.

I have a feeling the x force one will be the most sought after one. Reasons why, it'll have warpath (rare), deadpool (rare in the comic 2 pack. I still haven't been able to get this sucker) and wolverine his latest costume.

Optimus Vader · 06-23-2011, 01:56 PM

Is that X-Force Wolvie another XMO mold re-use? It looks like it (at least the body) is, which makes me want this even more.

I believe your correct, the body seems shorter then the MU versions of late, no massive extended neck section, I say the took the brown and yellow XMO wolverine figure and had it repainted in x-force colors, I want it! I want all 3 box sets.. time and $$ is what I need more then patience

Symbiote · 06-23-2011, 04:15 PM

Knowing how hasbro operates, most likely a repaint.

I'm starting to be more in favor of ordering stuff online as long as its a decent price. 2 gallons of gas kind of equates to shipping costs now a days. I enjoy getting home at the end of my work day to find goodies in the mail. Scalpers have diminished the joy of hunting for me.

Robogeek28 · 06-23-2011, 07:18 PM

Hasbro really needs to retire that Thing mold and make a better one like thay've done with the Hulk.

Tiberius · 06-23-2011, 07:21 PM

The Thing mold is a pass for me. The Hulks on the other handed needed a lot of help. Main reason I am getting the Avengers set. Then I can use the comic pack Thors body to make myself a Thunderstrike and have a legit classic Avengers set up =D. I cannot wait to see these at retail. I'm going to guess TRU is the only place in my area that will get them, and they will probably go for 29.99 or 33.99.

Ooooooh. I am so stealing that idea. I was wondering what I'd do with an extra Thor.

As for the Thing, I love that mold (or the one with the open hand, at least) so much. That's been my favorite sculpting of the entire line until the recent X-men wave. Then again, my last Thing figure was the first Fantastic Four cartoon wave figure from way back when, so I'm just glad it has texture.

frodotrout · 06-23-2011, 09:57 PM

You really want to get yourself a ms thing. That is by far the best sculpt of the thing in a 3 3/4 in. format. It totally rocks.

Buy two and I'll buy your extra Sue and Herbie!
I think that's the new female Buck for Sue- the arms seem more muscular.

Optimus Vader · 06-24-2011, 08:47 AM

Sue's pose in the artwork is pretty cool.

It's the XMO W astonishing wolverine and colossus deluxe 2 pack one.

One of the most sought after molds around.

Thank you, sir. I'm after every version of that mold.

I'd settle for just 2, masked in astonishing colors, and masked in x-force colors. So yay, 1 of 2 is out!!!

Nexodusrex · 06-24-2011, 01:07 PM

Toywiz just shipped my Fantastic Threepack. now to get my hands on another Mr Fantastic for Customizing

Jason Abbadon · 06-24-2011, 05:32 PM

I refuse to do business with those tools after they hosed me- in their "Loose Figures" section, they listed a only bunch of MU figures for anout $10 each- and among them was Firestar (which I could not find then)- she ws the only one with no picture.
I ordered Firestar for like $15 with shipping and got...

The impossibly crappy old Toywiz send-away 5" figure with zero articulation.

Way to rip people off, Toywiz.

Nice! Hopefully you get some pics up of Sue Storm and Reed. I'll be glad to replace him with the 2 pack version.

I feel stolen with that pack... I am waiting since Secret wars to complete my Phanton Zone FF squad. Thing, Torch and Mr. Fantastic were made with white and blue colors, and I keep waiting on my white and blue Sue

Symbiote · 07-06-2011, 01:13 PM

I got my ff4 pack from toywiz with no problems. I cancelled my bbts order because toywiz had it in stock. They shipped it in 4 days.

I'm checking my email constantly hoping bbts ships my x force pack. Come on bbts, its july now, ship my stuff.

Optimus Vader · 07-06-2011, 01:20 PM

If it wasn't for the jacked up X-Force set price at Toywiz I probably would've bought that and the FF set from them, but I'm not paying $40 for an X-Force three pack. And I'm not splitting up my orders and paying for shipping twice.

Symbiote · 07-06-2011, 01:40 PM

I saw that it was way over priced. I agree with you optimus. Come on bbts. Get on the ball.

BBTS operates on a first come first serve basis in pre-orders. They will fullfill as many preorders as they can with the stock they buy. Leftovers or X amount (pre determined) are then puton the website. But if you pre-ordered a little later, you won't be one of the first to get it.

Example, I preordered The Avengers/Xforce packs when they came on the website and I got it when they first came to the website
