Just a note for anyone having trouble getting Generations Springer and Blitzwing as I have. Amazon.com has them in stock and are shipping them to Australia, postage is only $15 for 8-16 days. Seibertron has direct links to them. http://www.seibertron.com/transforme...-amazon/27379/
Yeah I got a tweet about this from Seibertron; I hope their stock holds out until July/August for when I can actually afford to grab a Blitzwing. :o
I'm just glad I don't have to keep waiting any longer for them to ship. My BBTS order just kept getting pushed back.Quote:

The shipping info tells you where they ship. Also, Amazon won't allow you to place an order if the seller doesn't ship to AU.
Don't trust any non-Amazon seller to ship to Australia. If they have their own site, go to there instead (like BBTS). Amazon may just take the order and forward it onto the person you are actually buying it from.
There is a filter option on the search indexes for items shipped outside of America, but it doesn't seem to always work with non-Amazon sellers... so if you want to try a non-Amazon seller, the only way really, is to cart it and see if it gives you a shipping quote, or if it tells you that they don't ship internationally.
But even if they do, it's not likely to be as cheap as Amazon shipping.
Does anyone know what's going on with Springer preorders on bbts, it's June already and it still has a release of may.:confused:
BBTS got shorted on their order.
They're waiting on the rest of it.
Early orders were sent out already (hugs his Springer and Blitzwing), and it seems to be a wee bit uncertain as to when the rest will arrive.
They're still waiting for their second lot of stock to arrive.Quote:

Apparently BBTS are being richarded around by Hasbro USA. Either way, I got sick of waiting and cancelled my BBTS preorder in favour of RK.
Early May.Quote:

EDIT: May 4th it was.
Amazon have both Springer and Blitzwing back in stock as of yesterday, for anyone wanting both for about $65 shipped to Australia. Not sure how much BBTS are charging with shipping, but at least this way you can get them within about a week for a lot less than what they would have cost here ($90-100).
You my friend are a legend :D just ordered Springer who with delivery cost just over 37 and. Which works out cheaper than buying a voyager class figure at Australia retailer.
Sigh I'm all for supporting Australian business and the economy but damn we have some steep import and toy taxes or luxury tax whatever toys fall under.
Enough rambling :p thanks heaps buddy for the heads up on this
the price dropped from $43 back to $22 late last week.
Oh. That's pretty good. Tempting, but I can't be stuffed... :p:D
Neither can i :DQuote:

what does it mean if the toy is by BBTS but filled by Amazon? Is the shipping charge from BBTS or Amazon?
My order from Amazon arrived last Friday, sorry BBTS I was getting sick of waiting. I hope they don't get stuffed around by Hasbro on the IDW wave or Sandstorm.
It's a pity, but Amazon are now back out of stock... these bad boys are very popular. Something Hasbro Australia should have expected and pushed to the retailers here.
Aaaaand, they're back in stock (US$23 each).
Bugger it, I had put in an early order for these two, then to save a few bucks I cancelled it and redid the combined Springer/Blitzwing/Sandstorm order. I could have had them by now! Ah well, gotta leave my POL until next month when (hopefully) the Generations 4 pack (trailcutter etc) show up anyway.Quote:
