    No email here yet either. I wonder why Ramjet is shipping first, before Sideburn, or Cheetor, or the Botcon nonattending sets.

    Did you order a Cheetor? I am guessing you didn't.

    They should be shipping them out at the same time I'd think.

    Nope, sorry. Passed on that one. My guess would be soon though.

    While I can't answer the question, and since I'm all-but certain that (for those who ordered both) both Cheetor and Ramjet are being shipped together, I'm guessing that their mailing list is sorted into distinct groups:

    1. Ramjet only
    2. Cheetor only
    3. Ramjet and Cheetor together
    4. Club member (i.e., Sideburn)
    5. BotCon non-attendee sets

    They've made it pretty clear that they do not (currently) have a way of combining lists, thus even though (nearly?) all people getting either Ramjet or Cheetor (or both) WILL be getting Sideburn, I see no scenario whereby Sideburn will be shipped alongside the other toys. In the same vein, no BotCon sets will be shipped alongside anything else.

    (Personally, I don't think this should be so impossible, but I do recognize that the systems overhaul needed to make it feasible is not insignificant)

    I heard that the non attending sets would ship out approx. 3 weeks after Botcon. I think it was inth FAQ in the comic.

    That's really good news. Great job on the Club's part getting these out so soon after getting back from Botcon, especially since they initially said they'd ship at the end of the month. Much appreciated! I'm eagerly awaiting the two Cheetors (one for me, one for a local buddy) I ordered.

    Ordered 2 Ramjets at about 11:30 the day they were put up. No notice yet, but glad to see the club is trying to cater to all members.

    Great, now I'm back to watching my email like a hawk again. Thanks. XD

    True that. I didn't even think a lot of them would even be back from Pasadena yet. Kudos to the club.

    So, they have separate lists?

    Fingers crossed they're able to combine my orders still then - I have a second order of just Cheetors I made as well, to middleman.

    The TCC person I corresponded with wasn't sure if it would be possible or not, though she was very helpful about it (their customer service really is pretty good). And if they do the Cheetors first, they'll probably see that note I appended to the order about groupshipping them.

    If they ARE able to combine your orders, please let us know. I'm pretty sure that would be a first for Fun Pub, and is something more than a few of us have been asking for.
