Kind of.

Do you live outside of the States? I live in Australia and it always takes forever to get my figures off them, but I recieved my confirmation today that it has been sent. I also didnt purchase a shirt.Im just glad that its finally on the way. Hope you get your confirmation soon.


I have not received mine, or notification of shipping, and I ordered the night after the first debacle of server shut down/overload.

Now the charges have been moved to my new un-canceled card for both my club exclusives, and my club renewal, so yeah, I'd like to see mine too.

And no, I did not order a shirt either...

I'm from the United States. There's about two states between me and them actually. Although I did check my e-mail a little while ago and it turns out they've finally sent it.

So, who wants to trade me a G2 Ramjet for it? Anyone? :P
In all seriousness, it depends on whether or not I can get my hands on the freebie, or just how much I actually like Over-Run in hand.

Well, I thought I was lucky enough to have escaped any issues with this, but woke up to fraudulent charges on my card today. PNC took care of everything, new card on the way.

anyone who attends botcon should boo Brain Savage when he makes his general announcements at the start of the con.

with all the cash he takes in, I am pretty sure he could have sprung for a site that properly protects his customers.

That's not what people should do. Two wrongs don't make a right. While I am advocating that they should discuss the situation with us in person and not sweep things under the rug, people should not be acting like asses. They should be polite and courteous.

I agree. So far Fun Pub has been giving us updates. Let them finish their investigation before raising pitch forks. But at the same time remain persistant with wanting answers.


Seibertron wrote:In addition, all of our credit card info (past and present) as well as our personal account information, usernames, unprotected passwords, email addresses, street addresses, dates of birth (I believe that's one of the fields they collect), etc were all taken as well. IMO, this situation was far worse than what happened with TFsource, since all of our personal information went plus the "Transformers Collectors' Club" is advertised on every Hasbro Transformers package, which brings Hasbro into the mix instead of it just being an online retailer.

Can't wait for the identity theft reports to start coming in (that's sarcasm)! It's only a matter of time now. That will be far worse than fraudulent charges on credit cards.



I just ordered mine to double check.

I agree that civility and patience should be exercised, here. However, if someone poses the question and they refuse to answer and/or get nasty about it, I think you should start with the booing and cause a scene. Embarrass them, force them to speak about it.

If it were any one of us, we'd be roasted on the spit if we screwed up like this.

Well this is lovely ... the username (CeMa^TkH) for their "secure" database is currently exposed on their website. Hopefully they will change the username after this so that hackers don't have an edge on knowing the username for their SQL database.
