I ordered a couple. And an SG Cyclonus.
Considering another one-- P/CP that is.

Yeah, I got burned on the Seacons, so P/CP was pre-ordered without a second thought. Call me crazy or whatever, but I'm a-gettin' my Counterpunch!

I like to think everyone gets me around here.
At any rate, I bought two Counterpunch figures and one Cyclonus.
Like TT24, I'm considering a third Counterpunch.

He's a Deluxe. He will be the exact same size as Universe Sunstreaker, Sideswipe, and Red Alert.

Wow I'd love a Dion and a Counterpunch but don't have the cash at the moment. 
Why do all the cool figs come out when I'm stripped for cash?
But anyway I really like the blue on Counterpunch looks rather awesome, but when are we going to get some pics of him in robot-mode(s)?

You lucky bunch. I'd have killed for one of those Punch figures, so the price was no issue for me. But I don't have any of the credit cards that the Club accepts.

You must not consider your time very valuable then. I've repainted that mold into Wheeljack using the Master Collectables kit and it's quite a task. Given the chance to pay the club price for the character pre-molded in the correct colors with a new head is a bargain in my book.
I was just flexing my sense of humor. Honestly, Ive never done a repaint in my life. I saw a Wheeljack custom on here before. Nice work if it was yours. I just feel if for once collectors chose to let these figures purposely bomb in sales, even the smaller companies would drop the prices a bit. The fans have the power...but not the will power unfortunatley...

The thing you're forgetting though, is that it costs more (per figure) to make fewer figures, especially when a remold is involved. The club must make a smaller number of figures, because the fandom would be pissed if exclusives weren't "exclusive enough". Additionally, boycotting these figures will simply guarantee no more will be made. The money made selling P/CP and SG Cyclonus will likely be put towards the next round of exclusives. So if these don't sell, we won't get anymore. It's not like the club has an infinite pool of money to pay for things with.

We received a status update on the Club exclusive figures earlier today from Pete Sinclair of BotCon. Here's what he had to say ...

Pete@BotCon wrote:As of 12 noon today, less than 24 hours after we announced pre-orders, we are now over 50% sold through of the Punch/Counterpunch. Just as amazing, Cyclonus is at 40% sold through.
Both are exceeding expectations and we want to thank those at Seibertron, who are also likely club members, for pre-ordering these amazing toys! Your support enables us to continue to bring you great TCC
exclusives!
Thanks again!

Where they are located is only a few hours away and I have friends there as well..Would be nice to just be able to pick it up and see my buds too....Oh well..It's wierd how they don't offer combinable shipping..I would think that would be mandatory at most online retailers..Then again they are just now getting online registration for botcon

^Try Collecting Masters of the Universe Classics. If you have a subscription, but want to buy extras regularly you can't combine shipping, and that happens every month. Mattel is run by bad bad people.
Ordered 2 P/CP's and one Cyclonus. A couple of days earlier than I wanted to, but I don't want to miss out on these.

I have a feeling of concern over not seeing more than a possibly photo-shopped image of P/CP in vehicle mode and I was not thrilled about paying for a pre-order upfront. Neither feeling deterred me from ordering P/CP. Soon I will have an Idol of the greatest poster in Siebertron history. It shall have a position of prominence on my mantle of honor.

Protecticus Maximus wrote:I just joined the club before the deadline, and I only needed 1 Dion. But if the pre-orders sell out, and I don't preorder cyclonus and P/CP, does that mean that's it? Or will they produce a few afterwards? Cause I don't know if a "pre-order" means a figure or if it just will give you the first ones. And if 20% allready sold out......
I would second this question, considering that they never ran out of Airazor or Astrotrain.
Also. Doesn't it seem fishy that they set up a pre-order for a toy you haven't even seen yet? AND you have to pay for it now rather than later... Also, these guys F-A-I-L at head designs which is the main feature of said toy.
My conclusion:
It's a SCAM!!!
Chances are that the head is either junk or non existent. And the "50% sold out" is probably bull**** just to get people to buy the darn thing!
And, for those of you whom think I don't have a right to an opinion. I am a member and I have bought Airazor and Astrotrain and am enjoying at least one of them. I've bought Fan Toys, I pre-ordered Ultra Magnus, Defender and the Crossfire sets! I buy overpriced Japanese Armored Core and Gundam figures for God's sake!
But one thing I've never done is buy anything I havent seen before I paid for it. It isn't just about the money.
No see head, no buy toy. Simple as that.

Seriously??? I don't think I've ever NOT bought a toy just because of the head sculpt. I mean, really--how badly could they have farkled this thing up to make it not worth the pre-order?!?!? This is a sweet exclusive! Besides, we already know the mold itself is solid.
Pre-order! No like head, display in alt mode!!
