Stop whining. This was over the weekend, the best possible time for the entire fanbase. The Transformers Collectors' Club has everyone on a global scale in mind, not just yourself. And why are you even whining? You already have one already for goodness sake.
I think everyone should stop arguing about this. Obviously they didn't make enough. It would be best for everyone if another run was made of this figure.
To those of you who bought it already, congrats. You didn't overpay for it - in fact, we all thought it was such a fair price that we jumped on it as soon as it was available. Everyone should have a shot at it. No need to be elitist or rude to the fans that didn't get one yet.
To those of you who weren't able to get it, that's how things like this work. It's an exclusive item with a limited run. It was available for 3 days. If you missed it, that's not the Club's fault. I doubt whatever you were doing over the weekend kept you offline 100% of the time for 3 entire days ... and if it did, it was probably far more important than buying a $60 - $70 toy. No need to be rude to those that did purchase the figure.
And to those of you complaining about people buying multiple figures ... it happens. It happens all the time. I'm sure most of you have bought multiple toys of the same figure at some point. This is a free market. I'm sure the Club wished people had bought multiples of Airazor and Astrotrain back in 2007. It's a crapshoot as far as the Club goes and as far as us purchasing the figures go. I'll never understand why companies just don't take pre-orders for things like this so that they know exactly how many they need to produce - there are a ton of ways to accomplish this.
And to everyone ... just be thankful that we don't have to deal with this regarding the main line figures like Mattel's Masters of the Universe line where figures sell out online in 5 to 30 minutes.
