Oh man so awesome. I cannot wait to get Punch. What an excellent figure!

HA. Beat you by one minute.

(Yes, I'm being a jerk, I know.)

2010 Club Exclusive Cyclonus (1 pc)
2010 Club Exclusive Punch/Counterpunch (1 pc)

Thanks for the notice Pete!

No problem!

Finally, Ordered both.

Boom. Ordered.

Awesome, Punch is getting ordered

ouch $59 for punch/counterpunch... why is he so much?

wonder why P/CP costs $35 more than Dion.

Gah! Nooo. I don't have the money yet!

Remolding. That and they know people actually WANT it.

Punch/Counterpunch is as good as bought. I just wish the price tag wasn't so high.

Actually having packaging probably figures into it a little bit too.

Ordered 3 CPs! 1 MOSC, 1 to open and 1 just in case. Can't wait!

Ordered both

Ordered! And lol at front page typo - "Peta@Botcon"

Huzzah! Got me some Punch/Counterpunches. Tax rebate came just in time
Looking forward to getting them (and free Dion)!

I like P/CP...but not enough to shell out $100 for it.

Sounds like the Cyclonus bio is set post-certain-recent-events-in-SG-land...

Still wish we could get a good photo of P/CP in robot mode. Still, probably going to order since I am a member. Did it say for how long the preorder is up for? I might have missed that part..

I am all for the ethical treatment of TCC exclusives!

Just caught that, d'oh @ the alternative connotations!

Got my P/CP ordered! Awesome!

Aaaaaaand my Punch/Counterpunch is now ordered. Can't wait!

i pre-ordered punch but there's just no way i can afford both punch and a botcon set... and i was really interested in pyro too. maybe i'll just have to get him on the secondary market later

Was looking forward to P\CP, but the price just has me down. Almost $70 shipped, I just can't pull the trigger. Just doesn't seem like there is enough toy or "collectability" (fake word) there to me. Its more than the Hasbro MP Grimlock is likely to go for. Maybe they will make so many it won't sell out and I can get it cheap in a year.

ordered 2 woohoo!

for the people wondering about the price, think about the sweet remolded head and that this thing will be sold out for sure by the time it's released

I really don't think people should expect a repeat of Airazor/Astrotrain where we'll see clearance pricing on Punch. Much more likely that we'll see a repeat of the Seacons and have him sell out. Cyclonus... not quite so sure on. But it's a great mold so I expect it will sell decently enough

I was hoping P/CP would be a little closer to the price for Nightbeat and Cyclonus, but that new head is intricate enough that's it's understandable. It's going to be a long wait until July.

It's also making the price tag for Defender not seem quite so bad. Hrm...

Easily ordered, but like most I completely disagree with the price, only people that can pull those prices are FP and they design stuff from scratch not just slap a new head on an old figure.

Easy purchase. Thanks Pete!

Gonna pre-order P/CP later, passing on Cyclonus.

Do any of you remember the Seacon set? It was highly desirable and sold out very quickly. I predict the same for these, that's why I ordered multiples! These will turn out to be excellent trade bait down the road!

I may not care much for the Botcon sets of 2009 and 2010 (so far...2010 might surprise me), but FP knocked one out of the park with this Punch/Counterpunch. Good job, guys

If I join the club now, do I get next year's figure and the discount on P/CP? I really didn't want Dion.

Finally. I'm not keen on the price for P/CP, but it does look like a neat figure, so I'll bite the bullet and spring for it. My membership expired last week, so I'm stuck paying $100; hopefully next year's freebie will actually be something worth getting.

I forget, since it's been so long since the Seacons: Does FP charge for pre-orders immediately or not until the figure ships?

Ouch, price on P/CP is steep, but, I want it!

Ordered! whoo whooo!

Just join now and pre-order Punch at the same time. You'll get the lower price on Punch and next years figure. If you don't like next years figure, sell it when you get it. You'll end up much better off than just paying the $100 on Punch

Yes indeedy

I've had the stupid site open in a tab for weeks (actually months at this point) waiting for P/CP to become available. Awesome.

Punch/Counterpunch will (when received) be mine!

Ordering Punch for $100 includes an automatic membership in the Club for the next year, so it's the same price either way. I'd actually like it if there was a way to order Punch as a non-member without being forced to get a Club membership; an in-between price, like $80 or something.

Yeah it's great timing because non-members pay 99 and members pay 59 the difference is the price of the club, 40. I think when you buy an exclusive figure the price includes membership. To be safe become a member at 40 buy p/cp and you will get next years exclusive free because they always give you the figure if you are a member by the march 16th date, hence if you become a member now you get the next year's exclusive

But if you pay the extra 20 you're suggesting you don't get a great deal. The member only exclusive ie dion will most likely sell for that much ($40), give or take $10 (at the least $30 in the furture)

Curious on this as well. Anyone know?

Hey Pete, are you able to tell us how many are being manufactured of each?

If I recall, they charge right away

yes, they charge immediately
