    That's nothing more than word change and all that should be implied and understood.

    Maybe want to have TFW put a filter on the word 'soon' and have it auto-replaced by 'we don't know when' ?

    No need to be a smartass. It's just not the best way to communicate with your paying customers, from my perspective.

    I own a small business, and not many of my clients would be pleased with "soon" as a delivery estimate.

    um... so anyways, BOT i'm way excited for this guy... he looks like a fun freebie... my membership expired almost a year ago, so its nice to be able to rejoin at a time that sets me up for renewal next year right after the figure has been shown, so that way i'll know whether i want to continue or not... though, at this rate, i've loved every exclusive from the club (botcon toys including, since i believe its all the same people coming up with the ideas) so i'll probably rejoin then as well...

    As stated on the TCC site a couple weeks back, we are waiting on shipping confirmation from the factory. That is all we need at this point. Hopefully when the Holiday is over we will finally get confirmation.

    I think Dion looks fine as an Autobot along with Cop-Tur while my favorite thing to mention is I like how the blue missile looks loaded into the white launcher/gun.

    Even "within the next month" generally doesn't work. The MCAX site was meant to be up in some fashion in January.

    I don't know, Someone says soon to me it implies to me that they know when it will be ready. I don't know sort of implies the opposite. After 5 years though maybe your right and for FP the meaning of soon should be redefined. As to them it genrally runs anywhere from later today to 6 months from now.

    Chinese new year?

    Pretty sure the Dec/Jan Club newsletter specifically said that pre-orders for P/CP would be up 'this month'; IIRC, it was in the "editor's space" or whatever it is on the inside front page. So, I naturally concluded that the 'this month' in the Dec/Jan newsletter referred to either December or January.

    Thanks. Walky sent me a PM explaining this before I came back to this thread this morning. It makes sense now.

    Me and my America-centrism.... ;)

    This will make a great bonus for those of us who are joining the club for the first time because botcon is close enough for the first time.
