Where has everyone been placing their orders for the Feral Rex figures online?

I've been getting them from A3U. Though I bought Fortis in-store, not via pre-order. Their pre-orders are in USD so keep that in mind when choosing.

A3U no longer have Fortis and Bovis in stock. B&K still has Fortis, but no Bovis. They still have the others up for pre-order.

I ordered Bovis from BBTS and the price including shipping and exchange came out to the same price as what B&K are charging before shipping. THEN, I got dinged for customs and that added another $20-$30 to the final price.

If you're a gambling man, order from BBTS and hope you don't get dinged.

Others might suggest that you order from places that don't declare the actual value of the item to avoid customs or higher customs. I prefer not to go that route because if the item gets lost you get squat back from insurance.

Hey y'all, been home sick with the Norwalk Virus for the last 3 days. Had some great quality time with my Masterpieces (and not so great quality time driving the procelain bus through Norwalkville) and I just discovered that you can actually click MP Rumble and Frenzy's arms into the pistons instead of having them just hang there loose!



I also discovered that the Earth isn't flat and that everything I know is wrong. Hooray!

Sorry to hear you've been so sick. But yeah, that is a handy feature, isn't it?

Speaking of things you didn't know about your TFs... You know that little crane arm thing on Metroplex's deck? Guess what... it pops off, and it's on a 5mm peg. Know what has a 5mm hole? The spot right next to the heli deck in city mode. Don't think I've seen any pictures of it there yet! Not even sure if it's common knowledge that the crane is removeable.

Aaaand Google proves it's already known to some. Ah well, maybe someone's mind will still be blown.

I just saw on seibertron.com a news item that Hasbro MP-03 is going to be Grimlock and a TRU exclusive! Anybody know the estimated release date yet?!!?!?

It is MP Grimlock reissue in Hasbro's new packaging, but the new MP Grimlock shown has cheap looking grey plastic. It's missing paint that are on the old MP and it looks like the tail isn't even chromed.

I'd think MP-03 and MP Sunstorm will hit TRU around the same October time frame.

if anybody collects KREO GI Joe, I'm looking for a BATS.

Has anyone purchased from entertainment earth before? Do you get dinged customs like BBTS? I'm interested in getting a set of wave 8 generations deluxes but don't want to get jacked on additional fees.
