So, Shade, how good is goodstufftogo.com? Approxiamte shipping fees (this is the big one)? Customer Service? Reliability? It may just be easier, cheaper, and faster to order a couple of these, rather than wait around. Any answers would be much appreciated.

Goodstufftogo will usually have the stuff to you inside of a week, depending on where you are. I once ordered on a Wednesday, and they had the stuff to me by Friday.
DNS Toys also has the Wave 2 and Transcorcher in stock, for cheaper prices than anywhere else. I have bought at least three times from them before, with no problems.

Bringing this thread back from the dead, but I just wanted to reiterate a question Shane asked re: shipping charges at goodstufftogo.com. Their price for the Transcorcher set is the lowest I could find, but in order to find out what shipping will cost you have to go all the way through the order process (a feature I've run across before, and absolutely hate). Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Now if only TRU and Target would get out of the Wave 1 rut they're in . . .

Hee, Hee, I was wondering if anyone was going to give me a hint as to how much they paid for shipping. I had almost ordered 2 of these numerous times now (everytime they went back up on D&S), but I never got around to it. I had almost given up and just ordered, but then last night found TS vs SP at a local Meijer in southern Michigan. (In best Cartman voice) Hoo-Rayyy for meeehhh!! Good luck getting the answer thoguh ....

I see Wizard Entertainment (best known for magazines like ToyFare and, well, Wizard) has SP vs TS and CC (I assume you all know these acronyms) in stock. Meanwhile, I've purchased a second MS vs HG set from DNSToys, and having already received it, am busy painting them... will get the Wave 3's once I'm done, no sooner....

The subject says it all - www.goodstufftogo.nethas all of Wave 3 in stock. $8.00 per for SW, TW, QS, & SB, and $15.00 for the PC/CK pack. Shipping (Fed Ex/UPS) is $11.00 for the lot (a little steep, but evens out with the relatively low cost of the sets). Total for the whole shebang was $58. Not bad, IMO. Hope this helps.

Sadly they are already sold out of Storm Wings and Tomb wraith.

[glow=black,2,300]GAH! I just order most of wave 3 last night from Imagination Station, only to find out now that Goodstufftogo has all of the same figures for LESS?! Not a big deal cuase after shipping included I would only ended up saving 10 more bucks, but what gets me is I am still missing the desired amount of tomb wraith and storm wing (I got one figure between both available) cuase Hasbro has seemed to not want to make more then half a dozen of these guys. Everytime I order these damn things online I find them the next day for a few bucks cheaper. Now this isn't a big deal if I only had a figure or two, but I usually order a decent amount to save on shipping and when I got 10 figures coming those 2 and 3 dollars extra I spent really starts adding up. Why can't these damn online retailers, and even TRU for that matter set their price at what Hasbro has suggested at $7 instead of 9 and 10..And curseyou Hasbro for making such a limited number of Storm Wings![/glow]

In defense of the smaller stores, Hasbro's "suggested retail" is sometimes impossible to meet. I used to work for a smaller store that carried toys forever ago (ah to be young and work around toys ) and I remember how slim a margin Hasbro allowed it's sellers to make. An item would come in with a cost from Hasbro of $5 of $6 and their suggested retail would be $7.99. Now Hasbro doesn't care how little the retailer makes because they've already made their profit by selling to the retailer, but then the retailer makes a gross of say 2.99 per figure, then from that minus the freight charges which can sometimes be as high as 18% of the total order. Then you have overhead charges such as employee payroll, taxes, rent on the location, etc. This was the main reason I gave up on the idea of ever owning my own store unless I came into a large amount of money (like winning the lottery). So, then when we complain about the prices being too high, these same stores start deciding not to carry the items which yield them so little net profit and then the line stops getting ordered and Hasbro dumps it and moves onto something else. Hasbro isn't heart broken because they have billions of dollars flowing in from various other lines and properties. The retailer doesn't cry too much because they move on to something else as well. Only the devoted fans of the now dead toy line mourn it's passing. So if paying an extra couple of bucks means keeping these lines alive and on the shelves, I'll gladly pay it. Sorry if I was ranting, but I feel very strongly about this.
