    Yah know, I do realize that. But they should as well. There are online polls and surveys for this kinda thing. And if you ask the right questions you can get a pretty good sample of how many people actually want your figure. Then you can make sure there are enough to satisfy demand. This should have been easier for them to get right.

    It just strikes as plain lazy marketing,and decision making.

    Yeah, I figured if I missed out on Punch/Counter Punch, I will use the funds to get Fansproject Swindle and Blast Off.

    well I didnt get p/cp but I got Cyclonus and that is good enough for me. Hopefully FP will do one last run of him before the year ends....if not then I will buy one either on ebay or if anyone sells it here....

    I would have done the same if asked. It's always good to have a backup plan.

    I'm planning on getting those two as well. Only problem I have at the moment is trying to find Bruticus at a reasonable price (There are tons of Superions in Toys R Us, but no sign of Bruticus anywhere.)

    I know, which is why I said that. I'm thinking I would rather have FP's Swindle and Blast Off.

    how can you track the order? I got an email yesterday confirming the order in my spam folder but nothing else. It says my online account is now active for membership but it doesn't seem to let me log in or create an account?

    This was the important part (lots of legal mumbo jumbo in the email too)

    Removed from the store. This is one annoying Transformer to get.

    Yeah this. I was on the fence about him but now that I think about it I'm sort of disappointed that I didn't get SG Cyclonus.

    Also, I signed up for my membership a few days ago and made sure my log in worked, then yesterday when I go to order P/CP the site says my membership has expired. So I went through and bought him at the non-member price and send Fun Pub and email. Sounds like it'll all get sorted but apparently they had my old membership info on file which is why they thought my membership had expired....lame.

    ^ Did you check your spam folder? It came into mine right after I placed the order.

    Mine was sent at 9:06AM this morning. I got a confirmation email right after ordering, but the shipment email I didn't get until this morning.
