Great ideas! Looks like Scruffy is the most wanted! Nice I love that character. He's gotta come with the robot mop. Hedonism bot is a cool one too! I always wanted to do the 1st bender robot that the Prof built in a flashback. Alas that would basically be another Bender though haha.
Oh and Fnog is a must have also!

also more uk destructor news:
We have recently been informed by the manufacturer of this product that the release date has been changed to 27-Apr-2012. We have updated this information on site and will endeavour to process your order in readiness to arrive with you on the release date. Shit, well that sucks. This figure is having quite a turbulent journey into retail. I'm sure it'll be worth it though, plus I'll have more money by then so it won't seem like such a big chip into my funds...

O_o
I never even clicked the link until now because I presumed it was at the $199.99 listed everywhere else. Holy effing s#$% that is an amazing deal compared to what else is out there right now!!! The last 5 destructor auctions I was watching for price comparison on eBay went anywhere from $115-145. Wow.
How come I have never heard of them? They don't show up in Google Products Search results either, which is probably why they still have them listed in stock. I don't even know where they ship from, only that they are on Central Time so it must be within the U.S...I impulsively ordered before doing research on them but sounds like you guys know what you are talking about.

Yes, typically sellers will list something as MIB (mint in box), NIB (new in box), MIP (mint in package), NIP (new in package) or MOC (mint on card). Also NRFB (never removed from box). If the package is sealed, and you cut the tape off a side, even if you never took the figure out it is no longer mint. You could list it as "new" and note that the tape is torn, but some buyers could get upset if you were to list it as MIB or something like that. I would not consider items with shelf/surface wear to be mint, so I typically don't use the mint categories UNLESS it is absolutely flawless. I will however note pieces as new if the item was not displayed (or in the case of futurama figures were you to sell one, opened). There is only one Destructor left now on e-bay and it is at $169.99. So if you have doubts about keeping it, I strongly recommend once you get it to put it somewhere safe and protected so you could resell once a gender bender comes out with it. It is very tempting to open and play with it right away, but you could be costing yourself over $100 if you did that. If you don't care about owning two, then see to it as you will. I recently opened up all my figures as before I simply did not have the shelf space for them. I like to pose and display them too. I knew I would never keep them boxed, I was just waiting for the day when i would have room. The hardest to open was Dr. Zoidberg. He was in his package probably like a week longer than the rest lol, because he is worth so much. I will probably open m destructor right away, and if they do come out with a gender bender partner that it looks like I'll buy, then I'll give away one destructor to the boyfriend. I suppose he deserves one toy now and then

Even if you open it, you'll still be able to resell it at a nice price I would imagine, but just not as much as you could be getting. For the price you paid, you'd probably make it all back I would estimate. But why open if you might not keep it anyway? Up to you man, do what makes you happy. And yes, there is a thread for photos of collections - we encourage you to post them in the "How Much Ya Got?" thread located here. MuchAdo, how did you come to find out their quantity? Is it one of those things where you put in an enormously large quantity and then they revise it to only the quantity they have in stock? Also I am surprised they even have that many left. If there were only 1000 made, how did they come to acquire so many of those? To those who bought them at SDCC - when you pre-ordered them there, did they limit the quantity you could get? Because when my friend got me the Bender Tineez she had to buy one, leave, and come back again later since they wouldn't sell two to the same person. I was able to preorder 2 Plush Robot Devils, however, and they only made 666 of those, so I am guessing that is what happened.

Future you are correct, merely put an item in your BBTS cart and change the quanity to a rather large number and then refresh the page to see how many of an item is actually left in stock.
Just to save people time here is an updated list-
BBTS Stock Updates 4/4/2012:
SDCC 2011 11" Destructor Exclusive Figure - 15 remaining in stock.
Robot Devil 9" Talking Figure - 19 remaining pre-orders.
Futurama Tineez 3 Piece Set Version 1.2 - 12 remaining pre-orders.
Futurama Encore Series 02 - Set of Fry & Farnsworth - 8 remaining pre-orders.
Futurama Encore Series 02 - Professor Farnsworth (solo) - 1 remaining pre-order.
Futurama Encore Series 02 - Fry (solo) - backordered.
I love BBTS, they have the best prices on all-new Futurama merch. and they have a great history of customer satisfaction.
I'm happy to know that they had over 100 pre-order slots for those tineez and for the new encore set series 2 only two weeks ago and that's what is left.
If these keep selling this well.. Toynami will be giving us more new series figures, it just might take them a really long time to get them developed.

I never even heard of the Talking Robot Devil - hmm, when you do a pre-order, do they charge you right away or only when it becomes available in stock to them? Do you know if these are gonna be rare items or they are just new? Ie. it doesn't sound like they are SDCC exclusives or anything. Last time I was able to get the Tineez pack on Amazon for $25.

The funny thing is I haven't ordered Destructor yet, and don't know if I plan too.
I want to wait and see if a retail version actually comes out or not (I know it probably won't the way things have been going) b/c it's suspose to have "The Gender Bender' toy to go with the big Destructor toy.
Good to know peoples BBTS Destructor orders are shipping out.
I went ahead a pre-ordered the Robot Devil Talking Figure, Futurama Tineez 3 Piece Set Version 1.2, and Futurama Encore Series 02 - Fry & Farnsworth a couple weeks ago... I wish it was September already!
