Hmm, I had an intriguing delivery notice stating that I needed to sign for an international delivery, could it be Runabout already? I was half expecting it to be runamuck. Sooper excited yo :ic$:

I don't believe they are coming from overseas. I mean, I know they are manufactured overseas (what isn't these days?), but I believe they will shipping to us from inside the US.

Yeah I'm in England, and I'm highly dubious that it is runabout already. All I have is a card saying that I need to sign for an international item. This means that I need to run down to my local post depot to pick it up. But unfortunately, due to work, I cannot get the parcel until Saturday

Thinking about it, the parcel may be my Malaysian DVD of RID I ordered. Who Knows :-?

I imagine so, it doesn't seem like even the US orders are shipping until tomorrow so I doubt they sent out the international ones already...

I tried joining and pre-ordering the day Over-run was offered, and my account was about (literally) ten cents short for both, so it declined. Or so I thought.

The next days I saw that funds for just the membership were being held, but not processed, in my bank account. I thought,"That's fine, the membership will process today, and I'll just pre-order Over-run then".

It literally took a week for the payment to process, and after two emails (met with no response at all) I finally got confirmation of membership, far after the pre-orders were sold out.

You know, cool, fine, they were dealing with a ton of crap I'm sure, with the credit card situation and processing orders on top of that. Again, tooooootally understand. My fault for waiting.

In any event, out of the blue I got an email from someone there saying they saw my card declined on the pre-order, and would I like to reprocess the order. I contacted them immediately, spoke with an extremely friendly and helpful employee, and was assured that they would run my card Thursday or Friday.

As of today, I still don't have a charge for Over-run. I mean, I guess it's POSSIBLE that it was run...but probably not. I just got off the phone with FunPub and after relaying who I spoke with last week I got a very pleasant,"Alright then, I'll leave a note on her desk. She's on vacation for the next week."

ARRRGHHHH

That one...wasn't my fault. Cripes. Its only a toy its only a toy its only a toy...

You spoke to Angie, I'd bet. I'm in the same boat, but I managed to get an email from her this morning. From what she said, you should get a charge on your card later this week. I'm guessing it will be after all the legit online preorders ship out, then they'll start processing the leftovers.

Tue Feb 14, 2012 3:55 pm

Does this mean they're sold out of "Over-run"s? I haven't had the dough yet to renew, and if I can't get both Runa(whichever) and "Over-Run" I don't think I'm interested in renewing at all.

Friend, I don't know how to say this.... He's been gone for awhile. BUT! You might possibly find him on the secondary, so if you renew, get the freebie now....Later, you can pick up Mr. Overrun.

Seriously? Oh well. Looks like I've got 100$ that I'd budgeted to send the Club back in my pocket. I missed the sold-out announcement, obviously. Curse you busy lifestyle and satisfying yet time-consuming occupation!

Pretty sure they mentioned that Overrun and Driftpool were the fastest selling figures they ever released.

Well thanks for the post. The funpub employee I e-mailed about getting my address fixed was Angie. If you hadn't shared that, my e-mail would have been sitting in her mailbox for a week, and my package probably would've gotten lost.

I e-mailed Brian. Hopefully he can get to my e-mail before my package ships out.

Just joined TFCC because I got excited and wanted both these figures... guess I should have looked further into that they were all ready sold out. Sad face.

Thanks for the information! Yeah, it was Angie, but I didn't want to be all naming names especially since she went out of her way to help me out.

If they have Overrun, then they have Runamuck in the warehouse. Why dont they just save on shipping and send everybody who renewed their membership Runamuck with their Overrun/SG Drift ??? Just send em out as people renew. There is no need for a 2nd mass release when everybody and their mother ordered both twins.

They did mention on twitter that if you ordered a shirt with your figure, then it wouldn't be shipped until next week at the earliest since the shirts are still in production.

Tue Feb 14, 2012 11:27 pm

After several issues with this figure, the earlier than expected shipping notice has certainly done much to mend the wounds of the painful pre-ordering disaster.

Can someone please explain to me how a few weeks earlier shipping date has "done much to mend the wounds" of fans who have either had their credit cards run or been forced to take precautions to guard against it?

I didn't think so.

I know it sounds fickle, but when I got my shipping notice, I felt better. :lol:

No nothing makes up for a compromise of personal information. What about my name and f**king home address huh? Go f**k yourself TFCC, I don't give a ****. I AM NOT buying Runamuck from them.

Just have patients, they have a lot of these to mail out and it will take some time. They sold a lot less Ramjets last year and it took them the better part of several days to mail them all out.
