When will BBTS have Wave 3 2011?

Nexodusrex · 07-11-2011, 07:03 AM

So its in stores, yet my area SUCKS when it comes to the new stuff. So I'm just wondering, whens BBTS gettin these in? its like Imminent, though BBTS has yet to get the F4 3pack either while most other retailers have.

When do you all think we'll be gettin this.

I'm officially not pre-ordering from them anymore. I haven't cancelled what I already have ordered yet, but I'm about to.

Shawn Woodbeck · 07-11-2011, 08:00 AM

Yeah they're slow but, its SOOO worth it. The packaging is supreme for shipping and I personally haven't had anything arrive damaged.

NerfTW · 07-11-2011, 08:21 AM

I just started ordering from them with the 2011 waves, and right now I'm testing out the pile of loot option, but I'm willing to put up with slow to come in over rushing to get them off other sites.

P.S. Is the pile of loot option really worth it? Because it doesn't seem to be combining shipping charges at all. I only have one thing in there at the moment, but it keeps saying $8 shipping when I add anything new.

I'm not a MOC guy, so all I care about is how fast they ship.

To be honest I don't know about the shipping. I use the pile of loot option but, I usually can't wait to get my greedy little hands on it.

You'll see the benefits of the POL when you checkout, or pay for something in it. This is a real ballpark way of doing things, but take the shipping total you got from the first item in your loot, then add a $1 on to each additional item.

Don't quote me, but I think after you pay for your initial item, the additions to your POL will show you accurate shipping charge updates (like .80).

Keep an eye out on hasbrotoyshop. I missed out on the 3 packs being on sale. The new wave should show up in the next two weeks.

AndyCR75 · 07-11-2011, 10:40 AM

Theory: The Pre-orders for Wave 14 are slow because the colored Dr. Strange is rarer than the transparent right now. Perhaps they have to wait until they have more in stock as that is the item pictured/advertised? I too have these on PO, but if prices keep coming down on ebay (or preferably retail) I may just go that route. saw a Skaar sell for $9.99 already last night on there.

Symbiote · 07-11-2011, 12:34 PM

Fuk ya. I finally got an email from bbts saying they finally shipped my x force 3 pack. Only a matter of time for my wave 3 set. Does anyone know how long orders ship through bbts? Its UPS ground.

Snowflakian · 07-11-2011, 01:09 PM

You have to keep in mind that while our orders may not be filled yet, others have. That's part of the problem with BBTS, or really any store that does pre-orders. They only get so much stock in at a time and have to wait for subsequent shipments to fill more pre-orders. That's before the figure itself can even be marked publicly instock for others to order.

Lucky bastid. Mine is still in preorder status.

They usually within about two days. A little longer during the holidays, but they're pretty quick to get things out.

And mine has been on display for weeks now on my desk! ;D

Redlantern161 · 07-11-2011, 01:45 PM

Damn & I thought of getting them that way too. Like what you guys think should I or shouldn't I preorder the figures?

Tarquinius · 07-11-2011, 02:02 PM

50 bucks for this wave isn't terrible to get it before retail does.

Lookit....most of America will have FRAGMENTS of this wave by December. I have this thing on Preorder and i still keep my eyes open.

There have been times where I've been able to find them in the store and I'll cancel my order. It's all about the back up plan.

Symbiote · 07-11-2011, 02:42 PM

I'd go ahead and preorder. BBTS doesn't charge you until it ships so it leaves you the opinion to cancel if you end up finding them in retail. I noticed they have the avengers+ x force 3 packs in stock again.

Word, nothing wrong with having a preorder, then hunt in the meantime, if you find it retail then cancel the preorder and save yourself the shipping, but if not then atleast you have them MOC arriving.

Symbiote · 07-11-2011, 03:17 PM

And I'm pretty sure if you end up with both, you'll have something to trade/sell with other arkers

AndyCR75 · 07-11-2011, 04:23 PM

TARGET!!! Its nice finally paying retail for these b*itches!

Tarquinius · 07-11-2011, 05:19 PM

I actually just completely contradicted myself. I found some decent ebay deals. I rationalized that I really dont want or need Doom and Scarlet Spider is bound to peg warm.

So I picked up an Astral Dr Strange, Falcon and Skaar and cancelled the BBTS preorder.

Schbam!

thechris · 07-11-2011, 05:22 PM

Funny, or not so funny, $50 is what Canadians currently pay retail for the set...

Tiberius · 07-11-2011, 05:26 PM

55.55 in British Columbia! 11.11 per figure! Ohhh sometimes I hate living in Canada :P. No not really, just hate how our language laws make a lot of things cost more just to have an extra language or 2 on it! Fun fact of the day. Did you know that Leader Class Sentinel Prime only says "SENTINEL PRIME!" in Canada because of language laws? Yea...not cool.

thechris · 07-11-2011, 08:45 PM

How's about hookin' up your ol' pal Chris with one o' them see-thru Doc Stranges, Tiberius?

Oh, shit, sorry if it sounded like I came across a few dude! The WWH Wave just hit shelves over here, so Doc Strange is a ways off. But all 3 3/4 scale figures go for 11.11 CAD with the 12% HST tax.
