TRANSFORMERS GENERATION ONE

Well crap... I clicked on the BBT website and next thing I knew I had ordered Nemesis Prime.

He is a limited edition of 300!

I really wanted Nemesis Prime but now I can't buy it. At 389USD that is probably 500.00 Cad, plus likely 40.00 USD shipping and another 40.00 customs most likely and NO 3AA discount.

I'm getting tired of exclusives that 3AA people cannot use..unless you are American. I was really hoping nemesis would be on Bambaland. BBTS charges a lot for shipping and it doesn't cover customs.
I'm sure any non-American understands this frustration. Look at all the 1/12 figures that went to online stores for sale, again all USD based. Why have 3AA?
I get 3A needs to distribute among other places for added revenue, but it certainly feels like, as a 3AA member and Canadian, that we aren't being appreciated as customers or members.

They should at least offer the chance for non-American 3AA members...or get Canadian or Eurpoean online retailers. BBTS and Thinkgeek, doesn't help us. It just prices us OUT of the market value.
I get that it "is what it is", but that doesn't mean non-Americans shouldn't feel frustrated by it. I really wanted Nemesis Prime. Now I can't.

I know prime was slated to ship between aug-oct. I'm guessing we might be closer to the latter?

Just checked overseas order from ThinkGeek, and... my country didn't listed there...

I hope beginning of October Prime ships. Would make a great Bday present to myself it if came that month...Plus I need to re-arrange my Prime display case...again

Just got confirmation to pay for the second half of my payment plan for Prime which should ship end of the month - early Oct.
Pay week end of the week, so i'll do it then. Gotta make more room in my Prime shelf again.

I got two confirmation emails..one from Chris, and one from CS. I only ordered one OP. Just a goof in the system?

I ended up getting 3 emails, 2 from CS and 1 from Chris and I ordered only 1. Probably a mistake. I dunno. Payday tomorrow so paying tonight.

I went ahead and paid one. Im guessing things will be ok.

Hopefully it will ship next week as well. Looking forward to getting him

100% agreed! I need to make some space to put it!

I already did. Same cabinet as DOTM Prime, MP Primes and eventually TLK Prime as well. I have way too may Primes

False - you can never have too many Primes.

With the reveal of the G1 Bumblebee Poster I am wondering if that figure is also in production. Wondering if he will be around 12-13 inches tall to be smaller than Optimus Prime. I could see a 12th figure being pared with that set based on the poster. Looking cool. I never considered bringing back my childhood transformer days until 3A launched the G1 series. Incredible job Ashley wood and 3A team.

I dunno. I have 3 large cabinets dedicated to just Primes. Started putting some movie figures on the top. I should take a pic so you can see that perhaps, just perhaps....I may have too many.

It is curious that we saw a Bumblebee Ashley Wood print and in all honesty, FFS, do a different Autobot.

I really want that print. I have the prime one in my office now.

We need Jazz, Hound..one of those guys.

I would LOVE Jazz.

Huffer would also be a cool minibot, or seaspray..some smaller bots to get people into the line..also lazerbeak and ravage.

If I had my way and infinite funds we would do Cosmos and Hound

Yep, either would be good. Not to get too far off topic..but i got my x-trans Cosmos and love it!

I stupidly bundled the XTB Cosmos preorder with their Cliffjumper and Hubcap since they all went up at once. Gonna be a long wait

I really wish 3A would do DOTM Soundwave to go with Megatron and Starscream.

That BB pic with the human, presumably Spike, makes me wonder if they are doing a human/robot 2 pack

That 10" body from the spiderman set would be a good to use for spike.

nah, bee & spike are 1/12 so it will be AP
