    They'd said earlier in the week, so I'd assumed they'd started shipping in the days prior to the email?

    It also depends on how long the place doing their shipping takes to go through and sort all of these. But I'm sure some people will start seeing them this week if not next.

    Could be. All I know is that Priority Mail is 3-5 days, and First Class mail is 5-10, so I think we've still got at least a few days to go.

    Doesn't really matter, because it seems like it should be soon: I'm just excited to have these start coming earlier than expected. Definitely a nice surprise.

    Of course! This and Over-Run were the very reason why I joined this year, so I can't wait to get my hands on 'em. I love that mold to death.

    uh... what now? i really hope you meant on your SHELF... :Thumb2

    i figure they might've started boxing them up, and the first batch all went out Friday or so. I just hope that at least 1 of them arrives to my house before Botcon, so i can deliver it to Boardwise at Botcon...

    If no one has recieved theirs by the end of today I'm calling bs on these being sent out when they were supposed to. I don't know where they're supposed to be shipping these from, but I'm in the city adjacent to their HQ and I'm still waiting on mine.

    Without knowing the order in which they shipped, being close by is not a great reason to call it anything.

    Do you guys know when they usually sell the remaining figures. I would love to be able to get a second one.

    True, but there may be something to what Hot Shot says. Not to sound like another conspiracy theorist or anything, but the email that went out on 04/12 says "we started shipping"...past tense, so let's say it was just a day prior, on the 11th.

    First class mail usually takes 3-5 days to arrive, so if any of them were shipped on the 11th, there have been three business days since then (four if you count Saturday, since mail is delivered over the weekend). Today would mark the fifth day, so some people...SOMEWHERE...should be receiving some by today, if they were mailed during the time frame they reported.

    I sometimes wonder if people have different definitions for 'shipping.' When ordering things online I get e-mails that something has "shipped" and then the actual shipping company doesn't receive the package for several days.

    yeah, it's entirely possible that they packed up a few hundred or more last week, and they didn't actually get picked up until yesterday. guess we'll just have to wait and see...

    They don't mail the free figures 1st class. They mail it 3rd class bulk or something like that.

    Plus "shipping" can just mean throwing them in a box and slapping labels on them. Ive had instances where items are "shipped" but it doesnt get into the post office's hands until like a week later.

    FWIW, I finally received a shipping order on my second Runabout (aka Over-run) order today... If they got these in at the same time, they may well be on their way out.

    Hopefully they are shipping Over-Runs for those that missed out first and we should start seeing Rumamuck in hand soon after.

    Being in UK that's going to be a good while yet for me :(
