The first payment is done. That takes care of the first two figures. The second payment will be after those first two ship out. The final payment will be after the 4th figure ships out.

 

That's probably because little information has been released. Not that we've expected any, beyond what has always been true for these figures.

The second (let alone final) payment never takes place until after the first couple of figures have shipped.

That said, here is the full text of a relevant e-mail we got in July:

 

So are the GI Joe figures still coming or have they already been released

 

Okay, yea. That was the last email I got on the matter too. I think I'm just getting antsy at this point 'cuz I don't know what's going on. Thanks.

 

Assuming you mean the Joe/TF crossover figures (I won't have any information about Joeclub stuff not connected to TFs), they haven't already been released.

I'm anxious to see those made available, too.

 

Where can I find images of crossover set packaging, or can anyone post them here?

 

This is bordering on thread necromancy, so I'm not sure which set (there have been a few) you're referring to. These are the sets that came out since last September.
