They are stating now that because of TFCC combining the figure shipments, they are changing their orders accordingly, they had to have known about this months ago when everyone else was informed as well. I thought they'd do the right thing and just ship the figures I pre-ordered, but nope, they want you to order the whole thing, or nothing at all.--I honestly don't care about the packaging, I just wanted the figures to be able to finish "Wreckage"...and I had them all ordered individually.
So I've just cancelled all my pre-orders, and have to go searching on eBay, who gknows, its probably for the best.

Due to this change, we have created a new listing for the combined set and moved your preorder(s) to this new listing at the new combined price of $169.99 per set.

while the identity of which figures would be shipped when, was kept under wraps, the knowledge that 7 figures would be sent in 3 different shipments has been known for a few months now if you search back on this thread, BBTS would have known about this as well. They should have taken down their pre-order listing altogether if they were concerned about "uneven" quantities.
Bottom Line--Instead of paying $80 for Fractyl, they want me to pay $170 for Fractyl & Lifeline, a figure I have no interest in, and I'm sure isn't going for $$90 by itself on eBay. Looks like I can get a better deal on a solo Fracyl anyone, so perhaps this is all for the best, also I've submitted the e-mail to Seibertron news.Hello,

I figured based on last years packaging of Impactor & Bluestreak, this was obvious, it was a cost saving measure. Why ship two figures at the same time, in two separate boxes? That makes no sense... If I as just a single consumer could come to this logical conclusion, how could BBTS not?RNSrobot wrote:The email you posted literally states that bbts only learned of the single package when we did.

So when other subscribers got their figures a month ago...what has BBTS been doing for the past month? I call BS on "they just found out" --They could have separated all the figs from their packaging and mailed them individually, and if they were short some figures, they should be offering compensation for any pre-orders they cant satisfy. They aren't willing to take a loss for a totally preventable error, is what I'm getting at, It's just not good business.

gothsaurus wrote:I think part of this is that BBTS having to supply new packing and box for figures (instead of FunPub supplying all the boxes) — plus time to repackage — all costs money. I'm guessing this may be the sole reason for the change. They might not be able to make any profit without changing the plan.

Remind me and I can do so in the next day or so. I'll have to dig out my last two issues, but it's late now where I am (almost midnight) and I need to be winding down for the night.mazingaspidey wrote:Speaking of the club, can anyone fill me in on the last two comics from issues 70 and 71?
