Yesterday, I received some some great news in an email from our friend Joel at site sponsor BBTS.com and today their site has confirmed it: the Fansproject TFX-04 Protector set and TFX-05 Sidearm Targetmaster will arrive tomorrow. After they receive the shipment, it should take a few days for them to sort and process all the orders, especially when it's a set like this that's in such high demand. But hopefully most of you with pre-orders will get your holiday wish and see your Protector armor proudly displayed on your shelf in time to ring in the new year!

Good thing I'm waiting on other preorders to ship my POL anyway, won't be home for 2 weeks for me to receive it.

Heck yeah! I was hoping for a little holiday cheer! I've been holding off on buying anything for a while in anticipation of this. Now, just in time for Christmas, I get my FP Munitioner, Explorer, Protector, and Sidearm, not to mention my Animated Cliffjumper, Headrobots Cobra, and Cyclonus/Rodimus set! Fa la la la la, la PILE-O-LOOT!

Merry Christmas to me! :APPLAUSE:

I really hope that United Megatron comes in too soon so I can ship my POL. I'll probably cave though and just ship Protector because I would like to get him ASAP.

I'll be hitting the ship button as soon as I can tomorrow.

Man, I have so much stuff in my POL. I would be pretty sweet to get all my stuff before Christmas, but I'll wait until a few more things are off the truck.

They typically do that when their first run is out of stock, i.e. their initial shipment sold out, so your preorder is for the second shipment, cause I got mine from them when they came out.

Nope, it's because I just got a POL shipped early due to me mis-communicating my wishes with a return\exchange. So I don't want only 5 figures in the POL

My Protector, Sidearm and the Battle in Space set should all be here before Christmas. Last time I got this many Rodimi for Christmas was 1986!

Got my confirmation from BBTS this AM that mine set had shipped. It'll go out Monday which means Rodimus will be on the shelf before Christmas . Thanks Santa!

Received my set today only a couple hours ago. Just finished playing w/ it too. Pretty impressive. I'm not as keen on the head module but it works.

The cool thing about having multiple Hot Rods and picking up both the trailer and firearm add-on is I can have both Targetmaster Hot Rod and Rodimus Prime at the same time. :grin:

got my shipping notice saturday aswell, but checked the tracking today and my order was still listed as "billing information recieved". hoping that it will start moving soon

Re: Fansproject Protector & Sidearm will be in Stock at BBTS.com Tomorrow (1159484)
Posted by NTESHFT on December 20th, 2010 @ 3:51pm CST

Mine says the same- my wife ordered me something from there for Christmas (not sure what, but i think it's the Japanese Animated Blurr :grin:

). she kept check on it the whole time. The tracking said it was still in MN the whole time, yet it got here on the day it was supposed to. Hopefully they are shipped and not scanned in the computer due to the Holiday rush.... :KREMZEEK:

Re: Fansproject Protector & Sidearm will be in Stock at BBTS.com Tomorrow (1159517)
Posted by El Duque on December 20th, 2010 @ 4:39pm CST

Mine still only says "billing information received" :BANG_HEAD:

My last few orders with them have had unusually long processing times between when I hit the ship button and it actually ships.

Hmm, mine is still on billing received. Since the billing received message was from the 18th, I was hoping it'd ship out today.

That's when I hit the ship button as well, hopefully yours just hasn't updated yet and it's actually already in route.

While that would be nice, knowing my luck it probably is still being filled. It was around 6 p.m. when I shipped and everybody else probably shipped between you and I.

I shipped in the early afternoon, guess maybe that's the difference. Hope you get yours before Christmas.

My order sat for three days after the "your label has been printed" update. Now it was scanned at 8:30pm on the 20th and it SDD is the 23rd.

The race is on! Can UPS beat the Claus? Stay tuned to find out!

This is what I'm seeing too. If it doesn't go out today, it isn't getting here before Christmas. Not that it truly matters but you all have me hyped up so that I THINK it does. Heh.

I went ahead and ordered Protector and Sidearm last night, and they've already shipped. I'm still waiting to see whether I get a Rodimus for Xmas, or if I will have to buy that for myself too. Consequently, I don't mind if the FP stuff arrives AFTER Xmas.

As it turns out, my tracking updated with several points of information overnight, and it's on track to be here tomorrow.

I guess I'll have a bit of a Christmas three days early. :grin:

I hope for your sake that your UPS station isn't anything like the FedEx station in Colorado Springs, who will hold a package at the station until its scheduled delivery date...

Mine sat in Eagan, MN for 24 hours before departing 30 hours ago and FALLING OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH. Seriously, I don't know what would be worse: not having the tracking and jumping up at every truck that goes by or seeing exactly where it is an watching it just sit there.

Same here mine finally departed Eagan then magically appeared in Oklahoma City, it normally updates with several other locations before it gets to OKC. My guess is their system is slammed due to the holidays and may be get overwhelmed.

UPS has rescheduled my delivery date as tomorrow. Thanks, guys. :roll:

But they still list is as "on time". If they had to reschedule my delivery date, then it's not really on time anymore, is it? :???:

Amazingly, mine showed up today. Now I really hope I get Rodimus for Xmas, although the turrent and roller are fun to play with in the meantime.
