The Waiting Game Thread

[CBratron]

Currently waiting for BBTS to get the Batman 66 figures in so Metroplex can ship out,along with a few other goodies.

Which ones? The Batman & Robin wallwalkers are already in my PoL waiting until Daft Punk arrives in December before I ship.

2x 2packs in the POL (one for some cape work before going into the Batmobile). Currently waiting on Batman/Penguin/Riddler.

Just thought I'd share my humour with you guys about my current "Waiting Game"

I purchased my Epic Conclusion set of an ebayer in US and have been tracking its progess. It left California and went half way around the US just to arrive back in California to be sent to Aus... It also changed hands from USPS to Fed-ex along the way too I guess it was all to hard for USPS

It really makes me mad that so many people have had to handle this item and I'm beginning to wonder if I will get it in good condition?? Knowing my luck the box will be crushed

Early March - begin my current BBTS POL

Early June - see that half the figures I have ordered have been delayed yet again (Generations Triple Changers etc)!

1st of August - clicked 'Ship my loot now' with BBTS

6th of August - get email saying shipping is delayed due to high amount of figures arriving.

7th of August - still waiting and getting frustrated. Been waiting for some of these figures for 5 months

8th of August - email from BBTS apologizing but they don't have the Gaia Unicron that I put in my POL 5 damn months ago, and because of the mix up it will be an extra few days again before shipping

That's just insane

At least you're not paying by the mile.

The waiting doesn't bother me, i'll get them eventually. I'd me more frustrated if there was an item in my PoL that wasn't available, ala BTT.

That's exactly what happened with my unreleased Movie Target Exclusives Gunbarrel, Reverb and Backtrack. BBTS sold the 3 for $100, and they lost Reverb. I got my money back and had to pay repurchase the lot for $150 on eBay

Currently shipped my first POL with BBTS (clicked ship about 2 weeks ago, still in warehouse), and had them verify the contents weeks in advance before shipping. Had quite a few sold out third party items there that I'd have to pay a ransom for on eBay. I'll be happy once my POL eventually gets here.
