BigBadToyStore Exclusive Spartan

Yesterday people recieved this in the newest BBTS Newsletter...

Hi - The owner of this exclusive has recently warned us that they may not be able to fill our order in full. It appears they have decided to allocate inventory on wholesale orders, most likely to go to their retail orders. We have closed our preorder down, about 60% of our initial order quantity has been pre-sold. I just wanted to let you know that there is a possibility of a shortage on this item, but we'll do all we can to get enough to fill our preorders. No new preorders are being accepted, and each cancellation means there is less and less competition for the inventory we will receive. On a bright note, BBTS has just negotiated our own series 3 Halo Exclusive with McFarlane, limited to 3,000 pieces, and it will be announced tomorrow {Friday}! There will be no shortages on our own exclusive

Thanks!
Joel

Today, BBTS posted up the following listing for their own exclusive...

We are proud to announce our first ever exclusive with McFarlane – the Halo 3 Violet CQB Spartan Soldier! This exciting 6” action figure is limited to only 3,000 pieces and is only available from BigBadToyStore! With millions and millions of Halo fans, you'll want to reserve your exclusive now. This figure is available singly for $13.99, or you can get it for less if you buy it as part of the Halo Series 3 Set of 9 for $93.99 (which includes the 8 regular figures and 1 BBTS Exclusive Violet CQB figure) This works out to only $10.44 per figure on average, and the Set of 9 figures is available here:

That being said, if you still have not ordered the Yellow Spartan ODST from Entertainment Earth that we talked about HERE, you may want to do that since the alternative is to order it for $19.99 from Wizard Universe or from other online retailers like BBTS who may not be able to get their full order.
