    I wonder how many months the Knights of Unicron set will be digitally shelfwarming HTS.

    I'm obviously the odd man out, because that's the only set I wanted. If it's still available Friday, I'm probably going to buy it!

    You're not the odd man out. That was the one set I couldn't wait to get – and it's awesome I was able to order it today.

    Yeah, I'm pretty strongly thinking about picking up the Knights set. I'm just not sure if I'd display it separately or as a part of my slightly bizzare G2 FoC display.....

    With the Combaticons as roadies. yes. Yes. YES. I need it now.

    I'd love to get the set too but with Fans Toys pumping out the Dinobots, I'll live with the Ark set. Though I do love the idea of the G2 Combaticons being roadies. Or even their sound crew with Brawl as a bodyguard :lol 

    EDIT: My order's not on hold :D

    Made 2 orders this morning. One for the Legends set, one for the Gauntlet. Just called and spoke to Mary, both orders were on hold. Both have now been released and are good to go. Probably explains why it took them 9 days to ship my 2 orders last year, since i never called.

    Yeah my order was well under $200. Never had any credit issues. Just ordered from them last week and it was still put on hold. Thanks to everyone talking about it here I was able to straighten it out :)  Still sad no Rattrap :(

    Nah, I called the same day last year and had my holds removed, but it still took them nine days to ship mine out as well. It just takes awhile for them to get through the massive number of orders they received today. Just be patient. The CSR Andrew, who I spoke to today, said it'll probably be about five days before my orders ship.

    Did anyone place an order for both the Knights of Unicron and Dinobots? If so, when the shipment arrives, is it possible to measure the shipping box HTS uses? Trying to get an estimate for how much I need to budget for my freight forwarder.

    Thanks everyone for the matty info. I knew it sold out last year. I just didn't know if this year would be different since they aren't holding any back for NYCC. Guess the limit of 3 sealed that deal. I wish they had the Voltron subscription still as I would have had access.

    I am quite curious about the hold myself. I don't want to call to tell the truth.

    And of course to hijack further - now that I have started my Kre-O collection - what else do I need to add to my 1984 set?

    The hold has nothing to do with your credit. It's all Hasbro's idiocy. I think they might set it to hold every order during the SDCC sale so that they don't get shipped out before they can check for people trying to order above the limit on separate orders. I think the phone reps just don't have a clue what's going on and assume the hold was for credit card issues.

    This set's webwarming is killing my hopes of a Cold Slither Joe set. Buy up these hairy, singing Transformers, people!
