I think that exclusives are often sold on the website as well as in store, and I'm hoping that that's the case here. Why, what do you think?

I was able to grab everything I wanted bar Protoform OP, but then I've already got all the US releases out so far I want.

Woo hoo to customer service that understands a problem and is empowered to resolve it on their own!!!
She saved me $34.97 between the two orders that I had placed. It's so nice to have a positive customer service experience like that. Thanks Amazon.com!

If you want a hookup on these Va'al, let me know. It's probably cheaper for you to get them from Amazon.com's BOGO deal and have me ship them to you than it would be for you to buy them from the UK.

Thanks though!

Grr. I had been back and forth and back and forth. I ordered (2) Hound and (1) Scorn on HTS this morning. Now with this I got Voyager Grimlock and Dinobot Slug shipped for $33.64 with Amazon Prime and $1.84 credit. That's it Hasbro!! ...Shut up because your not getting anymore AOE money out of me. Bring on the Generations!!

Currently, any toys that I do want are either no longer in stock (the 2014 Generations Wave 1 Deluxes), not available yet (future Generations figures) or Takara exclusives that are too expensive for me to import atm. Well, except for the new Rescue Bots figures, but my desire for those isn't high enough for me to spring on them right here and now.
So... yeah. Despite all of these sweet deals, I'm feeling kinda apathetic about all this.

I'm currently still on the fence about every AOE Generations toy, preferring to wait for the movie to convince me to get any of the AOE toys instead of diving in head first (I want to want these figures, but I simply just lack the necessary "wanting" for these and am hoping the movie can wow me into wanting them).

To be frank I'm more caught up in the new line excitement and pre-Botcon warm and fuzzy to be as discriminatory as I normally would be. Though a set of 5 dinobots with a fairly consistent design dynamic is a nice touch.

My Hound and Galvatron shipped yesterday and should arrive tomorrow. Fingers crossed! I'd love nothing more than to knock out their galleries tomorrow.

Thanks for the info. I gave a typo'ed billing zip and had to call them up the following morning to confirm so I guess I got pushed to the back of the queue. Kids, remember to check yo' billing.
