Oh, the irony.

Hell, I didn't order a shirt and still no figure or shipping notice yet.

Nothing for me, either. :-(

Got my Over-Run today. I'm pleased.

Checking my order status on the Club Store, still nothing has changed.

It still says, "This item is scheduled to ship within 4 weeks of Feb 29, 2012"

Got him... His perfect little face almost makes my Credit Card issues worthwhile. Almost.

My package from TFCC arrived last Saturday here in the Netherlands, containing two Over-Runs and a SG Drift.
SG Drift had two of the same gun, which is a bit of a shame (looking for a swap!), but Over-Run is next to as perfect as I could have hoped. Nice packaging, great head mold and a good quality paint job. On one of my two Over-Runs, the leg ball joints are slightly looser than on the other, which has very tight leg joints. Both still hold poses very well, though.

Ours will probably be the last two they mail out.

I have a pair of left guns.

Looking down the barrel as if you were shooting it, the tabs point to the left.

If you're a cool guy and have a pair of right ones, hit me up for a swap.

That faction symbol on the chest looks teh sekz, but seems like it would be a bit too redundant in alt mode. I do love the crisp white on that symbol, though. Are they reprolabels? I wish they weren't so damn spendy or I'd have a field day on that site.

Hi, they are reprolabels. I made the decision to use them across all my 'classicsverse' figures so that they were consistent - I don't like rubsigns at all and then other figures had really dull tampographs, or just off-center ones. I get what you're saying about the duplicate symbols though, but Runabout is a showoff

At long last!!!

I come home from work last night and find a brown box sitting on my bed. I rip it open to find my long awaited Over-Run and Shattered Glass Drift figures inside.

I've inspected both figures today, and each is in near-perfect condition! Drift even has both a left and a right gun!

Still waiting on mine. I check my card and they got their money. But still nothing.

News Credits: 1235 · by **LOST Cybertronian** » Thu Mar 08, 2012 3:11 pm

Just got my shipping notice yesterday. Which is what? Nearly a month after they started shipping?

News Credits: 461 · by **mooncake623** » Thu Mar 08, 2012 3:54 pm

didnt get this figure on the site.... was wavering at the time then I really wanted it when it was out.. now i just preordered it at TFSource. for 89.99. $99 bucks shipped. Feel like Im paying a lot. is this a good price? I searched ebay and they are all about the same, but i was hoping to avoid ebay prices.. what was the price of the figure orginally on the TFCC site? and how much shipped? just wondering what Kind of a mark up im paying or my 30 mins of indecision. Thanks a bunch

Runabout (I refuse to call him Over-Run) sold at the club store for $54 plus shipping cost. Shipping cost was determined by your location and what service you wanted to use.

wow almost 50% markup =/
TFsource + BBTS= scalpers?

I wouldn't call them that. They are companies trying to make a profit by selling people products they want to buy.

Considering the limited run and all the difficulties people had obtaining these, I'd say those are decent prices.

yeah on top of that, I suspect they are not getting them at a bargain cost. Unless that is something else we don't know about that the TFCC might be doing, but there is a large over head that TFSource and BBTS is paying. $90 is good compared to $120 or more on ebay.

got mine in today
unbelievable, i got both of the correct guns and both figures are as close to mint as they get
good thing, because there is no way i would have made it to the "Botcon 2012 Swapoff of Incompetence" !

by **DoubleOScorpio** » Sun Mar 18, 2012 8:28 am

Is anyone else still waiting for their figures to arrive? I got the normal confirmation emails when I bought them, but still haven't had anything materialize at my doorstep. Just wondering if I should be talking to TFCC or if I need to be more patient....

New message from the club. Check your email inboxes. Just in...

"This email is going out to all members.
If you did not have an order or have received your order for Over-Run and Drift, please disregard this email.
Here is the latest update on Over-Run and Drift's shipping schedules. Our original order was split into two shipments in China. The first shipment came in the early part of February. The remaining items are coming with the BotCon sets and is on the water now.
We anticipate that the second shipment will arrive here around the first/second week of April. At that time we will finish shipping the remaining orders. The shipments have gone out in the sequence that they were ordered. If your invoice number is higher than 62851 your items will come in a few weeks. We appreciate your patience. If your invoice number is 62851 or lower, your shipment is on its way.
We could have held all the orders until the entire shipment was here, but we felt that it was important to get as many orders out the door as possible and into your hands.
Thanks for your support!
Brian"
