Has anyone gotten confirmation of shipping? I got an order confirm, and I'm sure they're busy, but it's one moment of suspense for another now.

I seem to recall it took them 4 or 5 days last year to process mine and get it out.

That's not terribly surprising. Especially if they're taking time trying to winnow out the multiple scalper orders from those of actual buyers.

My Rust in Peace Cliffjumper already shipped.

Thu Jul 19, 2012 3:54 pm

last year I only ordered the Ultimate Optimus and it shipped next day. This year I ordered 8 items in 2 orders, and it went into their screening process. I am still hoping they will have some more stock tomorrow so I can get Bruticus and the HISS tank.

What time more or less did things start to sell yesterday as oppose to today? :VEHI:

Thu Jul 19, 2012 5:20 pm

I got on there around 8:45am PST and ordered CJ and Bruticus sold out right around that time. My guess is those items went live between 8:00-8:30 PST. I think they went up around the same time yesterday as well.

Thu Jul 19, 2012 5:35 pm

yesterday it was more like noon cst wonder why CJ is still available today though? That was like the first few things that went OOS yesterday.

I got an order confirmation yesterday but haven't gotten a shipping notice.

It would be awesome to have these things come into stock in the evenings so those of us who work during the day have a little to no chance of getting one.

I suppose they reckon that those with jobs can afford the scalper markup... :BANG_HEAD:

In situations like this there will always be a group who misses out. It sucks but that's how it is.

I am ecstatic about picking up sdcc cliffjumper...even if it ends up being available for the next year like the bumblebee arcee two pack...

cj was available for most of the day today. Just missed Bruticus this morning when it was for sale for about 10 minutes...I am happy with G2 Bruticus, though, if I can't get this one.

Here's one, assuming $59.99 is a reasonable price.

They restocked yesterday around 11:30ish AM EST, I had been refreshing the HTS page every 5 minutes & granted I already got mine yesterday but since I work in front of a computer all day, if I see that they've restocked I will give ya'll a heads up, its the least that I can do for the TF community...DEATH TO SCALPERS!!! (or at least a swift kick to the nuts!)

Bite your tongue, good sir. The G2 deco is amazing, and the box is even awesome! G2 goodness everywhere.

Managed to snag the Hiss Tank...for the cost of the entire set. Could care less about anything else but the BAT really (I'll wait on him), but at least Old Snake now has a place in the collection.

...and I have way too many Shockwaves.

There aren't really that many Shockwaves though. xD

Well, thus far have this one, the DoTM Voyager trio + 1 custom, custom MP Shockwave holding the gun from the TFC coronation set, energon Shockblast, and WST Shockwave. And yet to this day still don't have a single Megatron anywhere in there. Go figure.

On a side note, noticed the Jem doll on HTS that came out at ComiCon. And as someone that's bought the originals for his wife, really hope I'm not the only one that went "Oh dear lord, that is one ugyly..." Apparently was not an opinion held by scalpers when I checked eBay for kicks.
