Update from TFCC:

This is going out to everyone in the club. If you ordered the Seacons or Nightbeat, your order will be there shortly! We have about a thousand orders to get out and we plan to have all of the pre-orders shipped by the middle of next week.

Please do not call or email concerning when your's will be shipped as we don't have the staff to look this up as it is all in the shipping department.

If you chose Federal Express, you should get an email (if it is delivered) when your item ships. If by Post Office, you will not get an email.

Again, the less calls we have to take, the faster they all get shipped. When they are all shipped, what is left will be in regular inventory in the store. As of TODAY, there are about 60% of the Nightbeats sold and 80% of the Seacons sold.

Thanks for your great response to these club exclusives. We hope that everyone who wants these figures will get their order in before they sell out.

Brian

Thanks to Zodconvoy for keeping me on my toes!

I am, well, pretty annoyed by the handling of how they are shipping these orders out.

Why weren't the first orders place the first ones to be filled and shipped?

Failing that, why weren't the orders which had both Seacons and Nightbeat shipped first?

Neither the first orders placed, nor the largest orders are going out first.

Why does the seemingly most logical solutions or answers regarding club things always run contrary to what actually happens?

I'm not even just ragging on the club here. I'm a supporter of what they are trying to do. I can't seem to knock myself unconcious long enough to make the voices in my head shut up though...

The way i see it, we've waited this long so what the hell is a little more time for them to be shipped. We know that there coming so whats the difference If you get them this week or next? I my self have been trying to get these for most of my life so i know a little longer of a wait is not going to kill me. That and i have a shiny new PS3 to keep me occupied while i wait. Thank you MGS4.

CP, I actually didn't see anywhere where they even mentioned whose orders would be sent out first. It seemed more like Brian Savage's typical "Please don't ask me that question, don't you see we're trying to take care of you?", you know, the answer he gives to every question someone ever asks him. But hey, us Trasnfans can be a restless bunch so I understand that to a point.

You have to admit though, slight delay or not, this is a pretty sweet looking set, at least from the pics.

And Kudos to the TFCC for finally coming up with more reasonable pricepoints. We never expected something for nothing, or even retail prices for this stuff but they always seemd just a bit high for what they were (even as exclusives)

Agreed. Honestly, I completely forgot about these after preordering them, and only recently got reminded that they even existed when people started getting emails. I guess due to that the excitement is gone, and I'm overall very "meh" about it.

Of course, once I see a huge box of awesome sitting on my doorstep, I'm sure my attitude will be very, very different.

And while it is a bit disappointing how cluttered this all seems to be, from what I understand its their first real huge Club-exclusive figure that wasn't a membership figure or easily available at Botcon; this one came at such a time that if you want it, you had to order it online, and someone please correct me if I'm mistaken in this. I guess what I'm saying is, they're still getting their acts together, but at least we're getting our stuff. It's not like that Ages 3 & Up bull I've heard about >_>;;

Weren't these due out in July originally? I mean, delays are commonplace and just a part of business, it happens, but this?

No offense, but this system of theirs just isn't working.

I'm too impatient to deal with their delays and excuses. To those of you who can...you deserve a medal.

I just hope I get mine before the end of the month. This wait is killing me!

Nah. I can't rock the Leisure Suit and over developed hair line like he can.
