Canceled my preorder of Spectre with BBTS and went with AmiAmi through their eBay page. Cheaper and I get the bonus. Also snagged Drive Type Wild as he was only 26.00 dollars shipped. Couldn't beat it.

For the Ghost releases, the bonuses are actually in the package. I don't know that you can buy an unopened one without getting the bonus.

BBTS doesn't list or show the bonuses on their site. Could just be an oversight on their part, or they remove the bonus. Who knows with them.

Any first release bonuses that are included in package should be there for anything provided to BBTS. The only way they wouldn't be there is if they just weren't included in any stock BBTS got, and I don't see why that would happen on anything packaged internally. I know people can be a bit cynical of BBTS at times, but BBTS opening sealed figures to get at first release bonuses packaged inside or to separate figures (thinking of things like the free 7th figure from TFCC Transformer subscriptions) to sell separately would be a pretty crazy low for them to reach.

Anyways, finally opened up last month's toku SHFs; not due to lack of interest, just lack of time to be able to tinker with them out of the box. Ghost is....just fine. It's not terrible, but it's not wowing me either. It's aight. I wouldn't say I'm more excited for Spectre or more Ghost SHFs as much as I'm relieved that I didn't have a bunch of turds preordered ahead of time. I did like that the Gan Gun Saber could transform between sword & gun; normally things like that are kept to the SIC line. I like that the swappable hoods, but swapping hands doesn't feel safe considering my hands always seem to bump up against the horn on the helmet and I'd rather not think about snapping that one day. Kabuto Extender is nice but kind of ho-hum.

Dragranzer though...holy shit. I didn't realize how fucking big this thing would be. It's nearly twice the size of Kabuto Extender before you add the tail. It's definitely worth the high price, for me.

I wasn't being cynical of them, I order from BBTS a lot. I just feel it's a gamble if you get the preorder bonus or not. I've seen them selling other preorder bonuses separately, so once again, who knows with them. Guess it depends on how desperate they are to get a few more bucks outta ya.

The reason they could do that before is cause the pre-order bonuses were packed in separate boxes. In the Ghost releases' case, the bonuses are packed inside with the figures and taped to the tray. I'm sure if anyone found out that they physically opened their order and removed what was packed inside, they'd get a bunch of heat for it.

Looks like I'm buying him from Amazon then!

Man, the exchange rate isn't doing me any favours at the moment.
