    Will be solid character cases I imagine.

    Be interesting to know where the figure was dispatched from, there have been reports of Amazon UK orders being sent from the continent.

    @darqen - assume that's amazon US?

    talking of Amazon, i'm still trying to figure out if my conehead order will ship today from co.uk - spent over an hour trying to get sense out of their chat system- 99% convinced i wasn't talking to a human- every reply was so vague and scripted, and completely ignored the very direct question i was asking- which was based around if it would actually ship as the listing was now showing as 'currently unavailable' - all i wanted to know was if that meant the allocation was sold through, or if there was no stock in the first place...


    would love them to ship, but i really doubt they will...

    We have confirmed arrivals for the Autobot Alliance from Amazon UK from @Siege Fan and a number of members on the TF UK FB group page, and mine is apparently on the road as I type?!

    End Times Shenanigans all 'round!

    Sunstreaker doesn't even show up on search on Amazone anymore unfortunately.

    I'd like the autobot pack to come into proper stock for the UK - as it was blink and you miss it on preorder.

    Speaking of Amazon being weird - Yesterday my Playmates Miraculous Figures have Ladybug due to ship in the 1st week of november and the rest of the same wave in December but I just looked and at the moment. as of the 27th
    Cat Noir has actually shipped, Marinette & Rena Rouge are listed as the 19th November to 31st December & Ladybug is listed as 3rd-4h November - & my Trix plush has moved to the 25th November (despite having shipped to American stores in late August) Maybe they got per-character cases from Bandai/playmates. But that is a big change in just one day.

    My Coneheads remain unchanged at "expected 3rd November" - They have not taken the money yet, so I hope I actually do get them.

    I hope I have the chance to get the other exclusives - I noticed that someone on Twitter said the US listing came back into stock yesterday too.

    When did you order the coneheads?

    They took the money out of my account 29th September. Just checked my amazon account and it now says they’re arriving Monday, was saying 3rd November for some time (only a day but gives me some hope)

    In case this informaion is of any use to anyone : I ordered my coneheads on the 24th September... (so fingered crossed)

    I did just notice my Miraculous Playmates 12cm Marinette Dupain-Cheng has also just bee charged and shipped since my last post a little over an hour ago. So perhaps they are processing the orders - shows how inefficent their systems are though if they have two products released from the same line released on the same day - that they ship seperately 1 day apart. & if they don't process the others today - it might get really silly with me getting a parcel a day sort of thing from the same order.

    i suspect it might be something like that, but getting sense out of anyone in amazon customer services is like getting blood from a stone...
