BBTS screwed me on my Gokaigers so I learned never to bother with them again. I only place preorders with them as backups in case other sites fall through. Once they come in stock elsewhere, usually Mandarake, I cancel.

Yeah thats a pretty good call. It kills me knowing I dont have trunks while other do.

Well it doesn't bother me having to wait while others have it, I pretty much live my entire life vicariously anyway. I usually try to keep my orders within the US just as personal preference, but everyone seems to like Mandarake and they do take PayPal so I feel a little better about it now. Is shipping usually pretty expensive with them? I plan on paying with PayPal and I'm pretty sure you have to get a specific type of shipping.

Shipping is pretty affordable if you go with the SAL option. However it takes about 2-4 weeks for delivery with that method. I don't have experience with DHL but I hear good things. EMS is expensive (it's what I commonly use) but it's worth it to me because you get the items in hand in 3-5 days. I recommend Mandarake VERY highly. They are easily one of the best import services out there.

Thanks. I'm going through the store now thinking about placing an order. After hearing what people are saying about BBTS I think I'm going to be giving up on a few preorders there, I got Decade, Kabuto, Kick Hopper, and Accel that I've had since December.

Den-O · 05-25-2012, 08:15 PM

Yeah man I'd definitely give up on Decade and Accel. I had those preordered for a long time. Too long. Finally gave up and went the Mandarake route with them as well. I think I had Cyclone Joker on preorder for something like 6 months only to get an e-mail saying they weren't fulfilling any orders for it. Wound up finding one here on the boards for $30. For some reason once BBTS sells out of a figure they rarely get it back in stock and there are even some things (Gokai red/Blue) that I don't know if I've ever seen in stock there. Even when they do get a restock it's for all of like a minute before it's gone again for another 6 months. Prime exampls being G3, Black RX, and Ultimate Kuuga.

Review is up for Super TaToBa! I have GOT to have this thing. It's beautiful.
