Hello all,
Today we will be uploading our new set of store templates and testing them. Hopefully, if we don't find any major errors, we will be turning on the left over BotCon products, Runamuck, and other club items around noon CDT tomorrow.
Please note that you will be limited to ONE Runamuck and ONE Convention Pack (below) until we see how demand goes. Do not place a second order until we allow you, as we can see all of our orders by member and will cancel the order and charge a cancellation fee.
2012 Transformers Club Exclusive Runamuck (1 pc) $32.00
2012 BotCon Souvenir Combo Pack (Octopunch & Spinister 2pk, 2012 Comic Program, Trading Card Set) 4 pcs $110.00
We want to ensure that as many people as possible are able to get these pieces first hand without having to go to the secondary market. IF WE DON"T SELL OUT, as soon as the flurry abates, we will remove the limits.
I'll send out another email and we will tweet when the product is live.
Thanks for your patience!
Brian

Hmm... I did not get this email too...
Well, I never intended to get the Octopunch set, and I probably won't. Well, that probably cos it's the only one that never sold out. Spinister is cool, but not $110 cool. Could get the upcomming springger and repaint him myself.

Quick update on the status of the TFCC Club Store . As most of you already know TFCC's Club Store was brought back on-line today, and two high demand products were made available, Runamuck and the BotCon 2012 Souvenir Set Octopunch & Spinister. Apparently the demand for these two items was so high it crashed the store's server forcing the Club Store to be taken offline. They hope to have the necessary changes made and the Club Store back online in a few days.
Statement from the TFCC homepage:
From the TFCC facebook page:
Statement from the TFCC homepage:
Due to the high bandwidth demand for the Transformers' Club and BotCon products, we have been forced to take the store server for the Transformers Collectors' Club offline. The system our new store software was installed on will not support the bandwidth demands that are being placed on it. The store software company will be moving us to a different server with more capacity.
Thus, the Transformers Collectors' Club store will be offline for several days. We will let you know when we are operational again.
If you received a confirmation email or see a charge on your credit card, you have a good order in the system. This move will not affect any order that went through.
We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your enthusiasm about these products.
From the TFCC facebook page:
Our host had informed us that the store server has been taken offline as the heavy traffic kept causing it to crash. We will keep you posted as they address the issue on their end. We apologize for any inconvenience.

PHASE TWO: Club Store crash after 'unexpected' surge in activity.
PHASE THREE: Everybody watch your credit card statements!

FunPub, didn't we learn our lesson in January when this happened?
My order went through, but the fact that the site crashed did nothing to inspire confidence in this sytem.
I will be watching my card again and probably will go ahead and just get a new card to avoid the crap from last time. I really don't want to deal with fraud on this in the event of a security leak.
If Mattycollector can handle a crap ton of people on their site on the 15th of each month then there is no reason you guys can't.

Why is it that servers never meet demands..With anything? Do people honestly always estimate the lowest number possible? If everyone was limited to 1 set of each item, How the heck could the server not handle it? It's not like Joe schmo scalper was sittin there throwin 20 of each set into his cart.
Myabe this was another "test" to see if it was going to work right..because you know, they might not have learned their lesson before...
Ah hell im tired of bitching about fun pub..its whatever at this point..

Are they for real? First they have a system running on out dated software, so they move to one which can't handle a little bit of demand?
And I mean little bit ... I can't imagine there would be tens of thousands of people all clamouring at once to get onto the store.

Spinister and Octopunch could not have been the only remains of Botcon 2012. The others will show up soon enough.

It's surprising. I have a hard time believing that the demand was terribly out-of-line with what they experienced with Over-run; so they should have had a pretty good idea of what to expect.
And I mean little bit ... I can't imagine there would be tens of thousands of people all clamouring at once to get onto the store.
This is difficult for me to judge. But the point is, it should not have been difficult for TFCC to judge.
Yeah if it was SG Prime.Kick off or the junkions i can understand..but spinister and octopunch and runamuck?
Make no mistake, Runamuck is driving this demand. There are a lot of Over-run boxes in the wild with an empty spot in them. And collectors will always want these guys as a set.
I got lucky and got my order in early. The new store items actually went live just a few minutes before noon CDT. But by the time I was completing my order (at noon CDT or a minute after), the site was already obviously taxed. Shortly thereafter, it became completely inaccessible; and a little while after that, the URLs started yielding 404s. Since I would expect it to take a few minutes after the announced availability time for demand to peak, this suggests to me that capacity for the site was not just a little below the necessary threshold, but a lot. (I am, of course, just making semi-educated guesses here.)
It surprises me that they'd miss the mark by so much a second time. You'd think they'd (at least try to) overestimate the required capacity and then dial it back if it turned out they had a lot to spare. I really want to give these guys the benefit of doubt and chalk the previous issues up to naiveté and a learning experience. But when the "learning" part doesn't seem to be happening, it does try one's patience.
