Happy to help and glad they arrived safely. I don’t think my emails were getting through so it was a rough there but glad we managed to make it work. I miss the private messages!
I stopped by that store again this week and they are all cleared out of Nova. Wonder if some reseller snatched them up or a bunch of people got cheap figures? I’ll be keeping my eye out for more deals for sure!
My intension was not to be offensive or rude, but I forget we live in a different age now where you have to walk on eggshells for everything and my reply may have been too brief. I wasn't policing, just pointing something out. I neither created this thread (nor the one on the old board) and don't run the site, so I have no more say than the majority of Fwoosh users and am well aware of that. Also, I've never once barked at someone to "stay on topic."
If that's going to be the new use for this thread I couldn't care less. Some of us cheap bastards/kit bashers get extremely excited whenever there is a new post here--more so than any of the other threads. If we are going to change the use of this thread, those of us who rely on it can just temper our expectations. It just seems much more logical to me that if a specific wave from a specific toy line goes up for preorder you would better reach the targeted collectors by posting it in it's already existing thread, or you could even create a thread specifically for all new preorders that go up.
I don't think anyone is offended, just poking fun at the (minor) thread policing you were doing. I also get excited when I see this thread get posted in, but I don't really care if it's off-topic. No harm, no foul.
Yeah, sorry - I was just making a mild 'thread police' joke... I wasn't actually offended , and the point of the post wasn't wrong - that's why beamish and I deleted our posts.
Kumbaya y'all
Is BBTS no longer doing Daily Deals? I used to get emails about it, and even now, when I check the site, I'm not seeing any...

They said somewhere they were focusing on other stuff for awhile. I couldn't find the original announcement. They said it would come back eventually.
Target.com has the NECA Dracula for $24.99. If you are a Circle member there is a 10% coupon for electronics which brings it down to, I believe, the lowest price I've seen on this figure.
Wish it was the Carfax Abbey figure as I still need that one.
@normdapito I have the legs from Power Princess if you want them.
The X-Men 5-pack with Stryfe, Vertigo, et al was in sale for less than $70 on Amazon yesterday so I picked it up. If anyone else is cheap like me, this is your chance to finally get Stryfe.
Deepdiscount.com has Monet St. Croix on sale for about $14. Coupon code Sharkie takes off 15%, so it comes out to under $12. I just grabbed 6 to build out the Generation X ranks. I’m excited because I loved that series, but haven’t gotten this figure yet!
So, I expect some of you may already understand this, but please bear with me as I just discovered it today. For the last few months Deep Discount have been listing their new ML additions as "Currently Unavailable", seemingly without a preorder option so, like a putz, I've been incessantly checking to see when they become available in order to finally purchase the given figure for a decent discount. Well, it turns out you actually can preorder, but it's a bit counterintuitive now. To preorder, you need to add the unavailable item to your "wishlist" and then add that item to your cart and then you can place a preorder. Sign up for their emails and they send you a 10% coupon on top of their standard 10% discount.
Moral of the story? I got me a deluxe Odin pre-ordered for 20% off with free shipping.

If you’re offering, I’ll take the legs. Thanks! My email is [email protected] and we can square up once I hear from you.

Thank you for this! I actually figured it out a while back and somehow completely forgot about it as new things started popping up as unavailable for preorder.
A bunch of those showed up at the Ross stores around here (a case of 4 at each) for $24.99 two weeks ago but they cleared out fast. Definitely one of the best deals I’ve gotten on figures there, and they’ve had insane deals on Hasbro stuff since this past holiday season.
