EE alternatively doesn't typically alert you when an item is pre sold out and you won't learn about your pre-order being back-ordered until the item ships for everybody else which is really frustrating because they may not get that item back in stock for quite some time.

yeah, BBTS is great, especially since pre-ordering is easy and you don't have to pay upfront so there will never be any kind of problem if something happens and they're unable to fulfill orders. plus, their customer service is stellar.

also, it's VERY easy to cancel a preorder if you need to. no hassle, no having to email them or anything.

hasbro toy shop isn't bad either.. you do have to pay up front, which isn't bad because it's their shop and generally you shouldn't have a problem. plus, they usually give you a decent estimation of when an item will come in stock, and more times then not, those items become in stock earlier than their estimations.

also, if you place a $50+ order, and one item is in stock and another is a preorder, they'll send you two shipments and you still retain the free shipping which is pretty cool.
