Re: Big Bad Toy Store and Warbotron Crap

The thing is though if BBTS and Warbotron had stated this exclusiveness right at the beginning when pre-orders were being made this wouldn't be an issue.

Re: Big Bad Toy Store and Warbotron Crap

I was still debating on whether to pre-order Warbotron.
Guess this helps my decision.
I will wait for the inevitable not-Bruticus release from someone like Maketoys or MMC.
My wallet thanks me - saves more money for the other combiners coming out.

Re: Big Bad Toy Store and Warbotron Crap

BBTS is as guilty as Warbotron in stealing FREE advertising from EVERY OTHER ETAILER!!!!

Deals liek this take time so they both knew what was going on and chose to remain siltent. Why?

How well do you think sales would be if people knew this first hand? How many people WOULD know of this if it were only on BBTS? How would the threads based on this set be if this news was known before hand?

Let's just say the free advertisment that was STOLEN is going to help them a lot.

I'm just glad you're a proud supporter of 3rd party products.

Re: Big Bad Toy Store and Warbotron Crap

Wow BBTS flexes its muscle again. I remember when they cried to iGear about chimungmung including the special coloured Sharkie leader for free with the regular set of three because they wanted to charge their customers for the free figure. I don't support BBTS ever. It does take two to tango but given the dirty track record of BBTS, I'd say this exclusive deal was orchestrated by BBTS. I'd say just don't support them or Warbotron.

Questions...

So does this mean anyone who preordered outside of BBTS had their order cancelled and moneys refunded? Or was BBTS the only retailer offering this up for preorder?

Why are these third party companies scared of BBTS? This is like mafia shit going on here.

Yep. People were posting negative feedback on their page about the decision to go with BBTS for all of North America and choice European Companies, so they shut it down in an effort to save what minute reputation they have left.
