    Got this from HLJ this morning, thought I'd post it as a heads-up for anyone else who pre-ordered these:

    I'm really unimpressed with this news. I understand they were misinformed, it happens. What annoys me is that they've made no effort to sort the issue out and have arbitrarily stopped anyone who only ordered one box from ordering more! I don't see the point in having three "trading figures". I ordered a box of 15, the very least HLJ could do is contact their distributor to get enough to cover the amount of pre-orders people placed. So, in my case, I ordered a box of 15, so they should honour that order and offer me 5 boxes of three. But no, I can only have three figures.

    And why would TT sell a box of three trading figures? Has anyone ever seen trading figures in a case of three?!

    Anyone know of anywhere else I can get these? I've tried Hobby Search and they don't have anything yet; I'm hopping they do get them though as I'm going to be pretty peeved if I can't get a full set because of this kerfuffle.

    That's weird. From what I saw they were capsule toys so it sounds like HLJ was going to make a box of 3 figs. I've never bought capsule toys from them before so I'm not certain though.

    Well that's what I thought! Who packs blind-box/bagged figures in a box of just three? I've never seen that before!

    I wonder if they've taken too many pre-orders and, instead of just cancelling the latter ones, they've decided to split the boxes of 15 to satisfy demand, but piss off everyone! Wouldn't surprise me, considering how flaky they are when it comes to pre-orders.
