That means from the original run for Steel Core, there is a lot more units sitting around in a warehouse, waiting to be released.
So in a nutshell, if you missed out, theres more SteelCores to be released either through retailers or Fans Project Core.com. Their probably just waiting for the preorders from FPCore.com to finish shipping out first. So just be patient and you'll get your chance to order it again if you missed out.
Sorry if I missed that post............I don't have all the time in the world to sit and read everything....
No worries, just too lazy to type up my own response when that one pretty much said it all.

Seemed to me like LC was trying to help you out by answering your question. They'll more than likely release this later on but the price might be slightly higher since it will be sold by the distributors ( BBTS, Rkingdom Tfsource)
I was shorted two figures, did anyone else have their shipment split up? I emailed them and am hoping they will be arriving soon as I did a group buy. Thanks!
So two weeks with no reply to repeated emails, I am missing two Warbots. Does anyone on the board know how to contact them? I am beyond frustrated and am not the only one who this has happened to.
I'm not surprised, although the seller is a little late to hop on to the scalpel bandwagon. People were buying them for ridiculous prices on eBay within the first week after Fansproject Core shipped them out.
On that note, anyone want to sell me theirs for a reasonable ($100) amount??? Otherwise, I can TOTALLY wait for the second run.
And on the unhappy/happy note wonder of wonders a note from Postie (on a sunday?) demanding £22 in Customs fees/extortion/ransom for my Steelcore...which still shows as "pending" on the FPC orders page.

So....nearly there.
and here I thought it was iGear that gave collectors the Shafter?
so...you paid the FPC "get it right up ya" combined shipping price, for one figure, not 3 like they were wanting you to, and charging you for...and then you get stung with customs charges as well?
oh well...look on the bright side, at least he looks like an awesome figure.

I don't think that's the deal, but rather what FPC had declared. Some folks have had to deal with SC's price + shipping as the total declared price instead of just the price of the figure. So, basically that $70USD + $50 is what's being taxed, instead of just $70. So, yes, it is FPC's error.

yeah, exactly what I meant. The shipping is already ludicrous, and if the total is the price they've put on the box, they're the reason for the customs fees being higher than they should. Steel Core looks pretty great, and I could really do with a couple more super posable, more generic looking TFs in my collection, but am glad I dodged the bullet on this one.
If the point was aimed at me...no, I wasn't blaming FPC for me being picked on by HMRC (again) but while we are on that general area, the postage shouldn't form part of the declared value ....so I got extra screwed somewhere and FPC spent $39 of my $49 on the postage....what was the other $10 for. The box or the extra time wasted on hanging around in a warehouse after it took so long to dispatch. Rent?
Anyway....he's a very cool bot, very poseable and with the current FOC vibe fits in very well with bulking the sparse Autobot roster out as a Red shirt for the background.
When is Assaulter SUPPOSED to come out? Haven't seen a pe-order anywhere yet....

When does anything new come out? Need some more updates from FP and or FPC.

Been tempted to pick some of those Kotobukiya weapons... they're pretty cool. Been using Not-Bruticus' weapons on mine. Made a cool combination using one of his guns plus the minicon from Terrorcon Cliff.
Pretty sure the "run" of a few thousand is already done and only 800 of that sold through FPC. Not sure what's taking them so long to get it to retail... after falling of love with this guy, I'd kinda like to own a second one. Not only that... but I doubt we're gonna see Assaulter till they sell their Steelcore's... so hurry the hell up already!!
