Generations Voyager Springer & Blitzwing in-hand pics

No idea -- I very rarely shop online, and I've never dealt w/ BBTS before.

Edit: I just checked - the default option is USPS Air Mail, which is US$13.99 plus $5.75 per 455g... so mebbe about $20. The preorder price for the two Voyagers is $44.99, so it'll cost at least $64.73 including postage - which makes it $32.37 per Voyager. That's still pretty damn cheap by Australian RRP standards!

Ah i just checked with this item in cart, says $31.24 for normal non-tracking air mail. Urk, so that's about $76.

Did the same with RK and it's $85 total with registered and insured airmail.

So extra $9 for faster shipping(RK seem to have stock in hand) and more secure mail?

Roche Springer looks amazing. Blitzwing looks alright but I will wait for the speculated Flywheels repaint. Just gotta wait for BBTS to get these in so I can ship my POL.

$76 is still a bit cheaper than two full priced Voyagers in Australia, so it still falls within my "Not above RRP" rule. But thanks for the heads up... lets me know how much I should be saving.

One advantage of BBTS is the ability to accrue items in the PILE OF LOOT® system and thus unlock MEGA-SHIPPING-SAVINGS™.

I saw somewhere a picture of this new Springer wielding a giant chain gun ala LSOTW Issue #6, very nifty.

Yeah BBTS would be a no brainer if you have a pile of loot, and it's cheaper too. However I went with RK as I reckon I could get it earlier and I have had less than stellar experiences with packages from the states(delay, lost etc).

This is such a refreshing break from the stressful(for both mind and wallet) Macross toy hunt!

Pretty much this. I'm waiting for Bruticus Maximus and Fansproject T-Bone to also come in before shipping.

Springer looks good but I'm not yet convinced he'll replace Warbot Defender.
Won't be getting Blitz.

Looks like Hasbro has done a good job on these.

I like Blitzwing especially.

Did some research on this. It only costs about $5! I instantly placed an order through amiami.

This will look great on other similarly scaled TFs as well.
