    Yep, you are right. Just logged in and only one of the two has shipped. Whatever, this is technically my second set as I picked them up from TFSource as well.

    For those that have ordered the Seacons through TFX express in the uk, have anyone got Overbite and Tentakill yet? I'm still waiting for my order to be fulfilled. I ordered all of the Seacons in one shipment to save a little bit of money, and I am getting a bit antsy.

    And just got notice for my second one as well. Good old Pulse paying extra shipping cost to ship everything separately.

    Not necessarily extra cost for them as they have bulk shipping with the delivery companies. Having bigger boxes also cost extra. Having to sort the orders would also cost extra. If the box with multiple items gets lost, it'll cost them more, compared to a single item being lost. It all depends on how you view that reasoning.

    My Kraken should be here tomorrow, but Lobclaw is still unfulfilled.

    Why does Pulse put the extras on sale so soon? Do they not hold any back for problems that may arise with orders?

    Is anyone waiting till they have all six to open them?

    Yeah, I’m familiar with bulk shipping costs, but I doubt it’s not still by the piece. I’ve seen a couple of FedEx contracts for large bulk shipping and they were both by the piece*. Even if it’s by volume or weight, separate boxes still probably end up being more in both categories.

    Although I’ll give you the other reasons it might be more efficient, but I think it’s still questionable at best. After all, if that was the case, most large companies would ship everything separately in a similar fashion to take advantage of the savings.

    * I worked at a law firm that had a large case involving shipping contracts for a large company.

    You’re assuming they sell all of the extras, there’s really no reason to think they don’t hold any back for problems

    I doubt they do, or else they wouldn’t keep exchanging one figure for a completely different one of “equal value.”

    Having messed around with 3 of these guys so far, I have to say they are probably ankle pivots away from perfection

    I input a pre-order for Lobclaw earlier in the week, but the availability date indicated Sept. However, I see others mentioning getting him already, receiving delivery notices for this week, etc. I'm thinking it may come sooner.

    Well I guess the joke is on me. Was expecting one Nautilator and one Seawing today. Then the other set of one of each tomorrow.
