My checking account has $35+ going to Hasbrotoyshop,
and I preordered 2 of Univ. Dragstrips
(and nothing else for almost a month).

Are these shipping in the next couple of days????

Hey, sorry to everyone, especially the mods for the triple post of this thread...
According to my laptop, it never did actually go through.
Sorry again.

I pre-ordered Overkill and Dragstrip back when they first put them up. Last week the ship date changed to 12/08/08, which is Monday. Their order processing system is a mystery to me.

Just wondering if anyone who pre-ordered these from HTS has received a ship notification or status update. I pre-ordered these back in September, last week the expected ship date updated to 12/08/08. As of now they still show "not shipped", and the ship date remains 12/08/08. These figures also show as "out of stock" now. Anybody heard anything on these? HTS is brutal.

-Hasbrotoysho.com- Word is coming in from various sources, including my own e-mail inbox that the HASBRO Special Edition versions of Overkill, Dragstrip, Optimus Prime, and Megatron are to begin shipping soon. The website still lists the ship date as the 23rd-26th (standard), but these e-mails may suggest that we may start seeing them sooner than that.

More proof of the shipping soon is that credit cards are being charged and bank accounts withdrawn from.

If you have not received your e-mail yet, expect one soon!


You can still order yours here at Hasbrotoyshop.com.

My Dragstrip shipped the 9th and my Overkill shipped the 10th. Don't know why they shipped different days, but anyways...

According to FedEx, Dragstrip should be here by tomorrow, IF not today, and I'll probably get Overkill on Saturday.

Then again, this is FedEx...

I got my email notification yesterday. I'm hoping Dragstrip will be here by Saturday. I haven't picked up Overkill, but the more I see him, the more I like him.

:prowl-paint issues
:paint mask issues
:and finally mold degredation

Ordered mine on 12/08/08 and just got them yesterday and I must say Dragstip and Overkill are very detail and articulation is very good and tight! Love the art work on the boxes as well!!

I got my Dragstrip today: everything looks good so far =D No mold degradation, sticky paint, and a perfect box to boot. Plus, the best part: no twist ties!

Overkill should show up tomorrow.

Sorry to hear that CP. I got my ship notification a couple of days ago. It usually takes around 10 to 12 days for their stuff to get to me. Hope my luck is better than yours was.

It seems you had better luck than Counterpunch. I suppose that the quality on these guys is going to be hit or miss.

Still, I'm looking forward to not seeing any twisty ties.

I got mine yesterday, but they are staying MIP, at least for the moment.

But I do not have any box wear issues or anything, so so far so good!

They display nicely!
