MP13B Soundblaster and Ratbat revealed

[Sinnertwin]

I wouldn't call people placing an early preorder desperate. For example, you can always cancel a preorder (BBTS, TFSource) & opt for a cheaper alternative (HLJ) unless you've put money on it like RK does & all you would've wasted was 30 seconds.

Because the Japanese retailers actually wait for the proper solicitations to come out from Takara with the pricing etc... All the US stores are just throwing up speculative place holders to try and get desperate people to lock in an order with them. As soon as one of the big boys does it everyone else has to put up a pre-order or risk losing out on major business.

That's pretty much exactly what I thought was the case, hence why I prefer to go with the Japanese retailers.
(That, and they're geographically closer & often charge less )

Ratbat is enough for me to be in on this one.

I boought a Reissue Ratbat a year or so ago and I was pretty impressed with the engineering in that toy. If they never release an MP Ratbat seperate to soundblaster it won't be the end of my world, though I'm always interested in a new mold like that.

^This.

Was lately after another toy and pre-order ended less than 5 mins. Sometimes like it or not desperate won't even cut it. lol I ended up having to buy from the States at $15 more rather than on Ebay at $40 more.
