I just encountered my first ever “down payment” fee for a preorder on BBTS. My initial thought was that the e-retailer might be engaging in counter measures to discourage shoppers from placing back-up orders in a gamble to see which platform delivers soonest. However, while I did order the Thor/Destroyer 2pack, I believe the mystery might be tied to the more expensive non-Hasbro figure that looks to have been attached to a Kickstarter for a smaller company.

Either way, whether it was attached to just Legends, or it’s a more global application, this is an interesting wrinkle to pre-ordering and might change whether I continue to use BBTS. Feels sketchy...
