Exclamation BBTS Appologize for not being able to fufill Pre-orders

I cant post in the news section, but I just received an email regarding a preorder I have

I have Skids from Generation Deluxe in my pre-orders. And here is the email I received:

Quote:
Hi - We wanted to update you about the status of your preorder for Generation Deluxe Wave 01 figures. Hasbro unfortunately had a large shortage on this assortment and filled only 20% of our order, which is extremely unusual. We were recently notified that no more inventory was available and nothing further would be shipped to us. Using our large supply network we were able to track down a significant amount of inventory from another market (at $135 a case!) We are very pleased to be able to fill your preorders on this item, and we apologize for the delay. Hasbro typically does not have supply issues this severe on initial orders so we needed to give them some time to give us final word on if they would be able to ship more product to us or not. Cases, Sets, and Singles for Dreadwing, Goldfire, and Waspinator will fill in early February after our shipment arrives. Roughly 70% of the Skids preorders will fill in early February. If you ordered more than 2 pieces, your preorders for additional pieces over 2 have been moved to the end of the line so we can attempt to get 1 or 2 pieces to as many people as possible. We will attempt to find more Skids, but it is possible that we may not be able to. Preorders for Skids placed before 12/17 will fill, preorders between 12/17 and 12/25 will likely fill if we see typical cancellation rates, preorders 12/26 and later may not fill, but we will do our best. We will pull the Skids from any cancelled/unpaid case and set orders as well, so that should improve everyone's chances.

Thanks for buying from BBTS, and sorry again about the delay. Above all else we want to be your go-to source for Transformers and we'll do everything we can to fill your orders.

Thanks

Are they trying to make THIS Skids as rare as the G1 one or something? ><

I got one too. I think it's a nice gesture.

I hope this isn't a sign that Waspinator and his wave mates will be hard to find. I guess I'd better get him at the con this Sunday if I have the chance.

I got the same email, too. I ordered way earlier than last Dec 17 so I should get in my pile of loot.

EDIT: strange... I look @ my preorders and Skid still has due date in Jan. However, my Waspinator has been moved to March.

Ya I'm hoping to snag a Waspy aswell @ the con but I'm sure the majority of them will go rather quickly.

Shitty...so glad I rarely ever have to order from BBTS.

Received my Waspinator/skids lot several weeks ago. Both are awesome.

Hope you guys can track them down.

Got the same email. I ordered on September 25th, so I should be covered. I really don't want to go to the trouble of tracking this guy down.

OB

Augh! I hope not especially since we're shortly to be FLOODED in movie toys. If TRU decides to skip Skids and Waspinator for more Movie Bumblebee...
