TRNS-01 - Valkyrie (Arcee) Group order

[kup]

Anyone up for a group order for TRNS-01 - Valkyrie from BBTS?

http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=ITC10013&mode=retail

If anyone knows of a better source, that would be good too.

[1AZRAEL1]

Damn I want that, but I have no money for it for the next 2 months :(

[gamblor916]

I want 2 but surely there must be a better source than BBTS? Maybe RK?

[iceburn]

Count me in for now....
kup, when are you making an order.
Could I add more things in?

yeah you can but depends on what items you want as another preorder could seriously delay the whole group package as a whole. I still have a group order from Robot Kingdom which would have been sent to us over a month ago if it wasn't for one delayed item (Device label Blaster).


I want 2 but surely there must be a better source than BBTS? Maybe RK?

I will see what RK offers but as mentioned, I am open to suggestions so if anyone knows a better choice, let me know.

Edit: Neither RK nor TFsource have them up for pre-order. It seems that at this point in time, only BBTS has it.

[iceburn]

yah i'm cool with waiting cos BBTS only charges when they can ship all items out right? I'm not sure. correct me if i'm wrong

[kup]

I am not sure, I don't think I have ever ordered from them but if people don't mind waiting for the last released item in the group to be available then that's ok.

[mknell]

I'd be up for that for sure

[rampagesss]

Ill take 2 of Arcee :D

[heroic_decepticon]

I'm up for 1!

[kup]

Hi Guys,

Are you alright if we wait for a little while to see if it becomes available in other stores or should we stick with BBTS?

[gamblor916]

I can wait. I would be surprised if RK doesn't stock it.

[heroic_decepticon]

I can wait. I would be surprised if RK doesn't stock it.

ditto

[SamLoi888]

yah i'm cool with waiting cos BBTS only charges when they can ship all items out right?

No. BBTS charges when an item comes into stock even if you're not ready to ship.

[liegeprime]

Count me in!!!:D

[kup]

Before we loose count, here is a list of everyone interested:

Kup x1
Gamblor916 x2
iceburn x1
mknell x1
rampagesss x2
heroic_decepticon x1
Liegeprime x1

Please let me know if I have accidentally omitted you from the list.

We'll see if other online stores open up preorders before we go with BBTS.

People who are ordering x2 - Do you mean that you want two of the same toy or 1x Medic (green) and 1x Arcee?

[optimus1]

Count me in for 1 please :)

Liegeprime RCx1
Optimus1 RCx1

Iceburn - We may not end up ordering from BBTS but in the event of that offer being available with RK or whichever other store we go for, I will keep it in mind along with others who want a pair.

[kristofferrer]

2 for me please :p

[kup]

2 for me please :p

2x Arcee I pressume? Since Medic is now part of the group order it's best to specify in order to avoid confusion.

[canofwhoopass_87]

I've still got some BBTS store credit from years ago, so I'll definitely be getting one of these for my G1 display. She looks like she'll be more fitting standing with the classics/universe 2.0 crew though.

I reckon you guys hold out and wait for RK. Hopefully they throw up the preorder in the next few days. I don't see why they won't stock these. Shipping will prob be at least 30% cheaper than BBTS.

Another suggestion http://www.digital-toys.com/transformers.html

but again, I reckon you guys hold out and wait for RK. Maybe even shoot them an email kup?

[kup]

Yeah I already sent them a message. Waiting for a reply.

[liegeprime]

Im keeping my fingers croosed that RK will have these coz freaking heck BBTS just charges an arm and a leg on postage and are quite inflexible with charging. At times the post cost , costs more than the items your buying from em:mad::(

[kup]

I am now confused. They replied to my email asking them if they are stocking TRNS-01 - Valkyrie & TRNS-02 - Medic with this:


a customer request the items TRNS-01 - Valkyrie & TRNS-02 - Medic.
http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=ITC10013&mode=retail
http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=ITC10015&mode=retail

I have now idea what that means. Are they telling me to go and buy it at BBTS?

[iceburn]

hahaha re-email them and rephrase i guess

[kup]

hahaha re-email them and rephrase i guess

Already have. I am assuming that the message was meant for a fellow RK employee with the BBTS links as reference.

[kristofferrer]

2x Arcee I pressume? Since Medic is now part of the group order it's best to specify in order to avoid confusion.

sorry about that - just the two pink arcees (no medic).


cheers

[kup]

sorry about that - just the two pink arcees (no medic).


cheers

No need to apologize, Kirs, I am just being careful not to confuse people's double orders :)

[kup]

RK still hasn't gotten back to me with a straight answer.

[kup]

Update: I sent yet another email to RK - No reply.

Should we just bite the bullet and go with BBTS or wait a little longer?

[gamblor916]

I'd wait, it's still early days.

[liegeprime]

Wait mebbe another week then we see how it goes.

[kelvinchang99]

If this hasnt been ordered yet, I would be up for 1.

[kup]

If this hasnt been ordered yet, I would be up for 1.

Yes sure. Let's wait to see what happens with the pre-order availability before I can confirm..

[kelvinchang99]

Thanks Kup. Actually, from BBTS, they have the set at slightly discounted rate. I would get the set, Arcee and Medic.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Discounted as in compared to what? I am asking because as far as I know, only BBTS has them.

[liegeprime]

If this hasnt been ordered yet, I would be up for 1.

Just 1 Kelvinchang99?????:eek::eek::eek: are you sure his account isnt hacked?!?:D:p;):eek:

[kelvinchang99]

This one. Instead of being $139.99 for the set or if you buy singular, they are offering $134.99 saving $5 for the 2 figures. It is from BBTS.

Liege, not that my account has been hacked, the government stripped away my expenses from recent taxes. Ouch !! but yeah, only want one set :)

http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=ITC10014&mode=retail

[liegeprime]

oooh .. taxes:mad::mad: hate em

[kup]

Sorry guys, no replies from RK and still no one else seems to be stocking them. Maybe BBTS just happened to get them before everyone else.

Let's wait a bit longer.

[foor]

FYI Guys, My BBTS preorder just processed in my pile of loot.

They will be stocking the rest ETA sometime today or tomorrow.

[kup]

Guys,

Looks like RK or anyone else will not be stocking this toy. BBTS is the only option specially now that they toys have begun to ship.

[kup]

so should we close this group order?

[gamblor916]

I'll be in for the set of 2 then if you want to go ahead with BBTS.

[heroic_decepticon]

I'm still very interested in this if there going to be an RK group order. If not, I might have a look see to order from there (since I've never done it before)

[liegeprime]

OK then go ahead with BBTS as they are the only ones selling it.

[kup]

I'm still very interested in this if there going to be an RK group order. If not, I might have a look see to order from there (since I've never done it before)

The problem is that nobody aside from BBTS is stocking them. BBTS has begun shipping them out and yet there is still no sign of the toy from other online stores.

[heroic_decepticon]

Guys, I'm cool to go ahead with ordering with any seller as long as I get a piece. :D

Wherever you order from, I'm in. :p

[mknell]

Yeah I'm still in on this too

Hi Guys,

The order has arrived. Everything looks to be in order.

I was a bit surprised by how small it is :)

Let me know how you wish to arrange delivery.

[gamblor916]

Pick up at the fair thanks.

[liegeprime]

Pick up at the fair thanks.

+1,

Think I read somewhere that its about the size of G1 Jazz? Makes sense, since the molders wanted it to blend with G1 :D. From what you can see Kup, are the paint jobs good?

[iceburn]

kup, neil will pick mine up as well. thanks

[kup]

She is roughly the same size as a G1 1984 car but smaller than Springer, Kup or Hotrod.

I am yet to notice any big paint defects on any of the toys but all of them seem to suffer from somewhat cheap paint applications. Even the box is somewhat cheap.
