Preordered!

Preordered. Preorder or don't get it at all is the rule of thumb for FP.

Pretty much. Heading to grad school in two and a half weeks, and there's no way in hell I'm letting FansProject slip through my fingers. I will buy them, and I will find a way to pay for them.

(Incidentally, my soul is for sale. Anyone buying?)

Thanks for the heads up, I would have been real upset if I let these slip away.

I'm really looking forward to these. Can't wait for Backfiery, I had Kickback as a kid.

Preordered.

Preordered. Just... FP, do you want my checkbook at this point?

Preordered.

So, basically I'm working for FansProject this summer.....don't I at least get a nametag?

Pretty much. Now if I can get called in at work a little more I'd be a lot happier.

To much plastic crack at once.

Anyone ever notice that the toy market is either slow or it's all coming at you in one shot? There's never a balance.

I ended up only ordering the grasshopper. I'm not enough of a G1 fan to need them as a set, and the symbols being in different locations make me not WANT them as a set. Kickback's the best looking, so it's the one I got.

With two days left in June, is anyone else getting really antsy to get their hands on Thundershred? Or will most people wait and ship all three non-secticons together?

I've got other things I'm waiting on so I'm not shipping right away. FP always runs a bit late but in the end, it's always worth the wait. I may not be waiting until all three come in though.

I'm waiting to ship all three at once. Sure it means I have to wait while everyone else sings their praises online, but it saves me money on shipping and I love getting bigger boxes on my doorstep.

Being an upstanding user of the Pile of Loot feature, I've been trying to ship once a month. Was waiting until Thursday to ship, because hopefully the first Insecticon and also a few other items listed as June may be on hand by then. Else I won't pull again until end of July.

You probably didn't want to know all of that, but I will say I'm excited about these figures and will not be waiting for all 3 to release before having them shipped out.

I'm in moving limbo at the moment, so I'm more than happy to wait. Besides it almost common for FP to be a little late, but I don't mind at all

As much as I want to ship when the first not-insecticon arrives, I may wait until all 3 arrives. We'll see however, I've been craving some quality plasitc crack late that ISN'T movie related.

Shouldn't the con exclusive Scout Force repaints be heading out to customers soon? If you didn't get the first version, you're in for a treat buddy.

I'm a waiter. No matter how badly I want a figure, I will always wait to try and max out my shipping savings. My last PoL was somwhere in the neighborhood of 30 pounds, and shipping came to about $30 or so, so $1 a pound is pretty good going. Basically, I wait until a "period" of preorders is over - either I hit the six-month limit on a PoL, or there's a large-enough gap between preorders that I can justify shipping.

In any case, I'm waiting - I have all three preordered with Encore Devastator. Merry Christmas to me.

You have way more willpower than me! I don't think I'll be able to wait once Exgraver comes in stock...

Incidentally, I was poking around the FansProject Core site, and I came across the release dates for the notInsecticons: the last day of each release month (i.e. Thundershred on Thursday)!

Apples and oranges, friend. The FP Insecticons are scheduled to be released each consecutive month, beginning with the end of June. I've heard conjecture on this board, but still don't have any confirmation of when additional Hercules figures will available other than Exgraver.

If Exgraver still makes it out in July, I'll have him in early August, thanks to the Pile of Loot and all the wonderful items which keep me from paying off my credit card.
