Transformers questions by newbies, and not-so-newbies

Glad to hear that you went with plastic tubs janda. I think that's the better option.

Hey just wondering if anyone has some experience in pre ordering with BBTS? I ordered several Impossible Toys custom pieces. The total was $100 or so, including $41 shipping.

One of the pre order items has just arrived and now they're asking me to pay for it individually? The shipping price for this single piece is $30. Once the other items arrive is the same thing going to happen again as it did with this first piece?

How is it all going to work? Bit confused, considering I pre ordered all of them as one order.

Do you have your pile of loot "ON", AFAIK if you do have it on, they will add that to the pile of loot and postage cost is added per weight but not at $30 each item....when it arrives, I did preorder from them before ( cant remember exactly what but Tf related - 3rd party) and I got charged less than $30 shipping, though it was still around $15 up IIRC, this was last year though.

Would the bonnet sticker for a G1 Tracks fit on the bonnet of a RTS Tracks?

I much prefer the G1 bonnet flames over the variations offered by Reprolabels.

YES.

same as Leige said, mae sure your pile of loot option is on. I have my third order with them waiting for some pre-orders at the moment, they are usually pretty good with everything. the pile of loot sits there untill you click on the send my loot now button. if you've clicked on that, they'll send what they have to you and other pre-orders will then start another pile of loot as they come in. If you split up your pile of loot they will charge you seperately for postage because they are sending items individually.

I have found the cheapest postage from them is to have enough stuff in your pile of loot to order shipping via UPS. They charge $40 plus $4 per pound of shipping weight.
hope that helps

Not promoting KOs per se, but the webmaster is hilarious. He/she goes out of the way to find and collect KO Transformers and when he/she gets an official/genuine piece, the post is prefaced by "Side-tracked" (eg: "Side-Tracked - Acquired Generations Wheeljack today"). Haha... hilarious.

Just weighing up whether I should order DOTM Sentinel Prime prior to it hitting retail (after watching peaugh's review).

Seeing as I didn't really pay any attention to the toys from the 1st Movie and ROTF, just curious what RRP was for a Leader Class toy at launch?

I seem to recall $100?

I've just been having a look at this blog Heroic and I've got to say, Man! - There are some odd looking KOs and man do they look cheap as hell!

I saw his review earlier today too and yeah, I wouldn't mind picking Sentinel up either - In answer to your question though, between $80-100AUD is usually where they're placed.

Cool. Might wait then - love the review, but I still don't think he's worth paying $125+ for one prior to retail launch.
