Well, those of us who were hoping for the happy Christmas morn' with new japanese imports...we might be waiting a bit longer.
Listings for the Encore Re-Issue of Skylinx, and the Japanese release of the CLASSICS line, have had the pre-order date changed at BBTS.
Previously, in a BigBadToyStore update letter it had been announced that many items of the japanese exclusive import Transformers style would be available before Christmas.
New evidence, however, seems to point to the opposite. Sky Lynx looks to be later than expected (February), and the J-CLASSICS are now scheduled to be in by March.
Good news for those with tighter budgets around this holiday season. Sort of a let down though, for those who were really excited to see all of these coming this month!
You can still expect to see Encore Ironhide and Ratchet, as well as, Music Label Soundblaster arriving soon, as previously stated.
I assume Joel at BBTS will clear this up in his next letter, but we all have to understand what a busy time of year this is, so a mistake was made. As I said, good news for many of us.
We'll keep you updated when we have a sure answer for the why's, when's, and how's, as soon as we know more.
And JOEL, don't worry, we still love BBTS!

Whoa! Dude! That's like, the best present evar. And definitely fun to unwrap.
As I had stated before in another thread...
Masterpiece Megatron
MP-05 Upgrade Kit
Wii Zapper w/ Link's Crossbow Training
Then I found out that the Masterpiece Starscream I got a few months ago was an early Christmas present, so I'm adding that to the list.
Then my grandparents, uncle, aunts (and cousin) gave me $80.00 in cash and a $25.00 Best Buy Card.
Plus my other uncle's stuff comes tomorrow so I have no idea what the final tally will be.
Can't complain.

If they did exist i highly doubt they would celebrate xmas since its a human holiday.
Posted by Grahf on December 26th, 2007 @ 9:20pm CST
- a LOT of money for bills
- my parents are paying off one of my loans
- Motorstorm and Heavenly Sword, which are both going back
- The Departed blu-ray
- Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness (my gift to myself)
- a first edition, hardcover Still Life With Crows signed by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child
Plus I decided to spend it with my whole family, something I haven't done in about 15 years. Getting 25 people to fit into my grandmother's small house kind of sucked, but it was good to see some of them again.
