    If they could so easily remove the Free Shipping banner, it makes no sense to me why they wouldn't update the 2013 FAQ to 2014 when it involves just changing a single character! Or adding the SDCC banner to the front page, for that matter.

    Never had a problem with them. Everything they put out is MUCH easier to find. They actually know how to distribute their figures, unlike Hasbro. Been collecting their figures for years, not one complaint.

    I've been mentally preparing for them to throw everything up, all at once. But, now that I think about it, they stagger them by just enough to make you split up your order so you have to pay for shipping multiple times.

    Man, preordering Figuarts on AmiAmi last night was less stressful than this. And the one I was after sold out in about 2 minutes.

    I think even Mattycollector gives a heads up too. Or at least they used to.

    Something tells me they aren't gonna list them at the end of the week. They're gonna make us wait until Monday probably. Which sucks for me since starting next week I go from swing shift back to day shift...

    I have it on good authority they will go up at an exact moment where it will be inconvenient for everyone.

    If you look at mattycollector.com they tell you exactly when it starts. They even have an early access window for subscription people.

    I would think they'd have to go up today. To have everyone sitting around all week waiting, only to have it delayed until next week...I think that would alienate way too many people.

    That's the optimist (which is getting smaller by the day) in me talking, of course.

    No, Matty does. They tell the exact time and date and have only gotten better and more punctual over the past few years.

    Closed some open tabs. After being shut out 2 years in a row at HTS I wasn't taking chances but maybe went a little overboard.
    Thanks for the reminder:)
