And now there's a thread in the TF general discussion talking about more CC issues. It's not sure if it was funpub as TFsource was also payed with this persons card... but man... getting ridiculous.
There have been at least two or three people (that I'm aware of) that have had card issues after the new TFCC site was put up, and there were no other charges before ordering on the new site.
Any card used at BotCon (at the Club store) was used on a POS Credit card Terminal. These transactions are processed directly with the CC company. The information is not handled by us in any way shape or form. A completely different form of processing than we use online, and the same type of transaction you have processed at your local Target or Walmart...
Hi Pete, Do you have an estimate as to when the club stor will be back up and running? I am also curious about the sale of the Runamuck figures. For example, I bought two Over-runs, and would like to net myself an extra Runamuck (already got my free one) to put into the collector's box. Was something already said (and I missed it?) or will there be news coming soon?
yeah, u pretty much missed it. Whatever extra Runamucks were left were sold out at botcon. But, i do hope im wrong....
Considering the TFCC states on their site that people who didn't receive their Runamuck should at least wait until the end of May before contacting TFCC for a replacement, I'd say that only after that time will they be able to take into account how many replacements they need to send out. They will defintely have to keep stock back for those replacements. And only after that will they know how much Runamuck stock is left to put on the site.
I was there at Botcon, on Thursday, at 10:30 PM when they said that they were sold out of the ones they brought to Botcon but would have some in the store when it came back online. On Friday, surprisingly, they got some more. No idea if they found more of somebody brought it over from Fort Worth. Don't know when they sold out, don't know if they made an annoucement. Was anybody actually there at the time it sold out on Friday that can tell us what exactly was said. Yeah, they'll definitely have some left over from the replacement batch. It's unclear if the Botcon ones were the entire "extras" batch or just some of it. I hope that they don't have a problem with the overseas shipment like last year.
That doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. Since Runamuck was not a con exclusive, but originally a free figure for members, why would they only sell the rest at Botcon and not at the online store so those who bought Over-Run can complete their sets?
No, no. The ones they took to botcon were not sold like an exclusive. They were given to people who signed up for a membership with the club during botcon. So they signed up, got a the fig. They didn't bring a whole lot from what I've seen said. But Pete did say this was not part of the extra stock for replacement figs and to sell after all members got theirs. Pete has said they had plenty of extras to cover everything. They are waiting till the end of May to make sure all figures were received before putting the figures up on the club store.
You sure about that? Not trying to argue, but simply point out that if those people got Runamuck for signing up at Botcon, then essentially, they are getting the incentive/freebie toy for 2012 and are entitled to the free 2013 toy since their memberships will still be active by next years renewal deadline. In other words, one year's membership with two "freebies". At least that's how I understood your explanation.
they werent just for people that signed up for membership at the con; they were extras for sale to already members. $25 at that too
From what I have read after botcon, yes I am sure. They were taking memberships and there was a sign saying free Runamuck there. Of course those didn't last long. And Seeker might be right as well with them selling some. I don't remember reading that or not. I just remember the talk about the club memberships being done and advertising getting a Runamuck. Now, I have no idea how it works but I'm sure the club probably had it set up so they're memberships don't give them the freebie for next year as well. If they did I'm sure we would hear about that by now with all the FunPub issues we've been hearing about lately.
Yea, like Seeker311 said, they were sold to anyone and everyone. I know some people who bought a few and were already members and didn't sign up for anything there. I'm still kicking myself for not grabbing an extra 1 or 2
There WILL be more Runamuck figures available. They only brought a small amount of their available stock to BotCon to sell. I'm waiting myself for the rest to come available on the club store. I didn't get to BotCon soon enough before they sold out of what they brought for sale.
