Just got a bunch of "Order Processing Soon" emails from BBTS for the Reindeer, Goats, heads and saddles...
Updates on the next wave - looks like the sleigh will hit the minimum, seems to be at about 900 out of 1000 needed. Also need about 100 more for Zombie Pirate Santa.
The Santataurs are struggling, not yet halfway to the 2000 orders needed. I will be surprised if these fund.
The kids are hard to tell - looks to be at 1750 ordered, with 3000 the target. Still think the price is hurting these. Not sure if only 2 instead of 4 heads per figure could have kept these to $25 instead of $30.
Dang. I want that Kramputaur real, real bad.
Aww, damn. Krampustaur is the only figure from this wave I'm interested in so I'll be a little disappointed if it doesn't fund.
I got the new accessory pack in today. It was the only thing I ordered from the third wave. Interestingly, there was a separate baggie in the box from BBTS with another Santa head in it. Looks like the one in the accessory pack box has some pretty bad eye placement where he's looking up. Or he just got kicked by a reindeer and his eyes are rolling back into his skull. I'm curious if they're all this bad and if everyone is getting a second head. Pretty cool to see that they're proactive about it. The paint on the beard has almost a hint of blue this time around. It looks good, better than that cream color the original had, but not as stark white/silver as the other beards I have (Robot Santa, Father Frost). The new sack is also much better than the first one they did with the ribbon running through it. That thing was crap.
Reindeer, Gorgon the Goat, and saddle hit my POL today.
Decided to cancel Gorgon and the saddle for now. I thought the bottom of Gorgon's legs were gonna be transparent red but was disappointed in the final product in Robo's review.
Dammit.
I was wondering why I hadn't seen any emails about the reindeer coming in, and I just checked my account, and I never actually preordered any. I swear I had preordered 2 of the same mold, but nothing even comes up in cancelled orders.
I guess that means I don't have to worry about the sleigh now.
@salemcrow While I'm almost certain the Sled will meet the requirements, I am keeping my one deer in the POL till its confirmed. Really surprised they didn't make more deer available during the sled preorder
I have 9 reindeer en route from BBTS. Why am I this way...
The reindeer were all still available to order 24+ (BBTS’ maximum) in the days and hours before being marked as pre sold out. I’m sure they’ll still be available in decent numbers once they fill preorders.

Me too! They're Christmas decorations, so our purchases are totally justified. We're not crazy!
That was my plan but now I feel like that's too much money for figures that will just be out one month of the year so I'm already concocting ways to work them into my everyday displays. I was thinking of doing an arctic diorama for my GI Joe Classified figures when they release their polar bear and throwing some reindeer into it but unfortunately my ideas ran out after that.
I may just come up with a spot somewhere to have a 365 day a year Christmas display. I display Michael Myers and Sam from Trick 'r Treat all year long so why not Santa and his ilk.
Man, I hope they put some more up for order. They’re all still listed as sold out. I just want one. Any at this point!
@normdapito I didn't have any on preorder and they were all sold out. Within a couple of days of randomly checking the listings I was able to order my 9 plus the head pack, just from people canceling. You might just check every so often and I'm sure you can catch a cancellation or two.

You're welcome. It broke my heart, but I had to cancel my full set of nine reindeer due to 2024 (and now 2025) brutally beating the tar out of my finances.
