Once again BBTS has the Ice Cream Twins version of Skids and Mudflap at an insane price.

What the heck is going on?

Just go to HTS they always restocking at a regular retail price.

 

I really don't like BBTS, I sometimes use them for clearance, but thats it. I know, things are harder to find, and they're not as big as blah blah blah blah blah...

 

They're a friggin rip off who have no problem passing the screw onto you while giving it an extra twist!

 

I honestly don't know why so many people keep using them. Even the pile of loot isn't all that great, and I'd rather just pay for a preorer up front and not have to worry about being charged eventualy.

 

BBTS and Star Wars suck.

I think that's a bit of an exaggeration. I admit that they have been pricing some items a lot higher than even an out of control ebay auction. Their G1 combiner limbs have been particularly high for what they are.

Screw the Twins, what I want to know is, when the hell are they gonna release those TFX-03 add-ons that TFsource got in like 2 weeks ago..

I lost it with them when the STarscream corronation set came out. The initial price was $14.99. All the sites listed the news about the preorder, and within 1 hour the price jumped 3 times.

 

That actualy corrolated to the amount of posts that said they preordered. It had nothing to do with a shortage of units. They outsell on preorders all the time without price hiking.

 

It dirrectly related to the fact that they could bilk us for an extra $10.

 

I had my preorders in at $14.99. I cancelled them on principal, and was able to order them on Ebay for the same price.

 

I used them one time after that on a clearance sale. Outside of browsing, I think they're a rip off and won't shop with them anymore.

I would like to meet one of the people who are willing to pay 50 bucks for the damn ice cream truck and punch them in the face until they have some common sense. I wouldn't blaim BBTS for their terrible mark ups ($65 for the new black leader megatron????), I want to blame the people willing to support that sort of crap.

 

However, I will say that shipping to me has been incredibly fast from them. Not only that, but their packaging is wonderful and even normal grade items have shown up mint.

 

For the few times I have used them, I was pretty happy about it, but you have to be very selective about what you actually buy from them

Wow, that is consumer rape. I hope they at least throw in a jar of vaseline with those prices. I never/will never buy anything from there.

 

Just keep checking this link and perhaps you will get lucky. This is ridiculous.

I don't how it is elsewhere, but the Ice Cream Twins are easily found in the stores I go to. That's why I was so surprised at what BBTS is doing, not once but twice. I don't know what kind of demand they think there is for that toy, but they are certainly wrong about it.

I only saw them once and bought them once. I believe my Target keeps restocking them, but they keep a small TF section and the turn over is quick. Pair that with my not going out that often due to finances and...

 

This here is the 08 BB all over again. Real hard to find at first but give it time, and you'll do nothing but trip over them for a long long while.

 

I wouldn't mind 2 more, one to keep in a special display in alt and the other for the MSIB collection. I can be patient, that is unless Mike Prime wants to work something out and send me some surplus...

That's just uncalled for. Like most of the other posts have mentioned the ice cream truck has also have been in steady supply at Targets around me and I even picked it up on sale for 8 bucks, BBTS needs to get a reality check.
