Whoohoot was able to secure on BBtS. Thanku

Hey I don't know if this was discussed, but would the 2-pack from BBTS have the bonus head and hands? They don't show in the pictures!

I was about say it does say in the description. The exclusive items are included.

Thanks, missed that. No time to read the whole descriptions, my head is about to explode already with all the recent announcements and my excitement for all things GOTG!

What's funny to me is that SSC is treating these like an exclusive. Limited to one per person. Wonder why? Just went to BBTS and had no problem adding ten to my cart. Don't get why SSC would limit sales if they potentially have customers that want multiples.

Re: Hot Toys - MMS 253 - Guardians of the Galaxy - Groot & Rocket

yeah I really wish I didn't just jump at the set at SS. Now I have a NRD and have to pay state tax.

but about bbts:

NOTE - This item is limited to one piece per person. Any orders for more than one piece (or additional orders) may be cancelled.

Ah, good catch. Thanks FeMan. Totally missed that.

Ordered the two-pack from Alter Ego for $339.99. That's the best price I've seen to date (followed by AFX at $341.99), plus they're the closest retailer to me, so lowest shipping charges. Plus they double box for no extra charge (standard practice). I was going to wait to see Star-Lord and Gamora before ordering, but I have a feeling that $20 discount won't be available after the movie opens.

And AFX price matches. They can match the price of Alter Ego. Also Shopafx reward points are more than Alter Ego. AFX is 5% like SS. Alter Ego is only 2%.

I emailed them and they also confirmed that the set does include the accessories and that they updated the page.

Re: Hot Toys - MMS 253 - Guardians of the Galaxy - Groot & Rocket

Cool, so I might order from them because of no NRD, but they are more expensive to ship than SSC, for me anyway

Why does everyone keep asking if the 2 pack comes with the extra head and hands? It's plain obvious that is does!

Order the 2 pack from anywhere and you get the extras (except maybe ebay where someone may rip you off).

its just confusing for some because everyone thought it was an exclusive to SSC, so seeing it somewhere else is a bit hard to believe, that and it wasnt listed on BBTS until they recently changed it

I wasn't aware of the reward points discrepancy between AFX and Alter Ego. Thanks for the tip. Is there a waiting period after you get an item before you can use the AFX points? It seems my AE points are rarely available in time for my next order.

Can you cancel a preorder from Alter Ego if you change your mind? That's the main reason I like to buy from BBTS. What I can afford now or want now may not be the same by March 2015.

While this is true, I just read that Alter Ego charges a 10% fee for preorders canceled after 14 days of placing the order. Not as hassle free as I had hoped but I may order from there to get the lower rate. I don't plan on wanting to cancel these two unless I have expenses when they come out and can't afford them for some reason.
