Last night, we reported that there were fewer than 300 Punch/Counterpunch figures left. Well, if you missed that last warning it appears you are too late. Punch/Counterpunch is now sold out.

You can still order Shattered Glass Cyclonus and Elite Guard Dion though. To order either figure, click the links below:

Hard call if buying 7 with the intention to sell is considered scalping. People KNEW this was coming for the past nine months and if they didn't save up $$$ that their fault. And in this case I think three days is a fair amount of time versus minutes for ticket and other online scalping. You also have to take into consideration that P/CP is being bought sight unseen and that a big risk.

As for FunPub limiting the amount you can buy you have to understand why they CAN'T do it as they do not know which items will be popular and need to make their money back as quickly as possible.

Guess it just wasn't in the cards for me to get this bad boy.

Oh well, at least I'll get to see a sweet gallery of it here once Seibertron gets his hands on it.

Congrats to the Transformers Collectors Club on such a fast sell out. I surely would have gotten my hand on one of them if I had the cash.

Sold out?!?

This is bullshit! As a member of the TFCC I'm pissed that my membership means so little that I can't even pre order one before they are sold out. In my case I was away all weekend for work and I find out today that I'm SOL.

So here's what should have been done:

Members get the chance to preorder a week in advance of non members with a strict cap placed per figure, per member THEN open the preorders to the rest of the public.

Very disappointed in this... Don't think I'll be buying back into the TFCC unless this issue is resolved.

Surely somebody who bought extra ones could hook up our 2 staff members above with a Counterpunch for a reasonable price?

Had I had the money, I would have bought a few extra myself and sold them at cost to you guys. But alas, I didn't.

Has any other club figure ever sell out during pre-order? I have to assume some sold out eventually, but most likely after they were in stock at the club store.

except for the Seacons, but they sold out only because they took forever to come out.

All members of the club should have first refusal for exclusives then any extra made open to the public. You will see a glut of these on the ebay soon.

I ment to order one but meh, im not going to loose any sleep over not having one.

I very much doubt it. The production numbers were less than 2000. There's not a glut of ANY TF toy on eBay with production numbers that low, much less a highly desired classics-style toy.

Just got an email from TFCC saying that they're looking into getting the production numbers increased in order to give a few more people a shot at Punch/Counterpunch, don't everyone despair just yet. There may yet be a chance to get this figure.

Here's the actual text from the email:

Brian wrote:Response to the current club exclusives pre-orders has been incredible! Over the weekend Punch/Counter Punch has sold out!

However, we are checking to see if we can get the quantities increased. We will keep you posted if we are able to do this. If we are able to increase the production numbers, we ask that you give members who have not ordered a set, the chance to purchase before you order seconds...etc.

In addition, Cyclonus has sold through approximately 60% of the run. If you are interested in that figure, don't delay as we expect it to sell out soon as well.

BotCon update: We are still working on final details and the online registration system. We hope to have the brochure up very soon.

Thanks for your support!

That would be nice. I balked at the $10 shipping charge last night to give myself some time to think it over, and now I'm SOL. No one's fault but my own here.

Possibly but but with the amount of people buying 5/7/10 pieces there will be a steady supply on ebay.

Gotta love those fans who most definately arent scalpers, I would never dare colour them with that tarnished brush for seeing an investment to fund a purchase of a MISB Black Zarak by excessive over buying to sell at a grossly inflated price

Hopefully the production run will be increased to meet demand, but if it does im certain people will be buying them in multiples again.

the system is seriously flawed, atleast botcons is better than it was a few years ago, makes me miss when the Hartmans ran it and limited it to two per attendee.

Ditto. I got the same email. My guess is that they got flooded with complaints and/or demand and are going to try to make a few more.

You guys and your scalper talk! Seriously, are we children and we can't accept that sometimes stuff that we don't like happens. We may be toy collectors, but suck it up and be a man instead of constantly complaining about!

I really can't express how sick I am over this argument, and I really don't want to offend anybody. If you're not able, or more to the point not willing, to fork over a couple of extra bucks every once in a while, you are never going to have all the figures that appeal to you. That's OK for a lot of people, but if you must have everything, and you don't want to pay, this is not the hobby for you.

This is all coming from a guy who has lost 50% of his pay since I started collecting.

The position that Downshift is in is a little different because he wasn't around. But I also don't fault the club at all on this. This is the first time that a club figure has sold out so quickly and they still lasted long enough for most interested parties to get one.

You wanna be enraged, try the Masters of the Universe Classics line. 4 minute sell outs and people not even able to get onto the website.

Or try out for the Ghostubsters and not having a credit card, the only reply you will get for asking of you could pay via paypal is how to pay via credit card. :-x

I'm with you mate, I too was away this weekend, with no web access. This is the first year I have signed up for the club, specifically because I was interested in both Dion and C/Punch.

Colour me unimpressed.

Glad I didn't wait! Reupped my membership with minutes to spare on a free Dion and P/CP was gone in a flash!

But $110 to the Club in 2 weeks? That was hard to swing!

I do hope they make more for the few that missed out. They really do need to improve the system. With that said lets speculate on what we're getting, first from the color images it appears that besides the head the gun has been modified to be different for each bot. Also the wind flap/jet pack will officially have the ability to attach to the gun.

I think they just turn the gun around. It was also the tailpipes for Sunstreaker/Sideswipe. The engine also was always able to attach. It clasped loosly over the gun.

With Sunstreaker/Sideswipe the gun had a fixed barrel. This one looks like each mode has it's own distinct version. The engine closing over the gun wasn't an official gimmick and in this case it appears they've perfected it since they're advertising it.

I still think it's very odd to buy a toy before they show off the actual new feature of it. The head could turn out like that weird Ultra Magnus head that looked like the Joker lol.

Why keep it secret if you want people to buy it, right? The only reason to hide it is if you think it will decrease sales. That's simple economics.

If it ends up being lame, the response will be brutal.

FunPub would be in a good deal of trouble with the fandom.

I think not! I remember seeing the pictures for P/CP and having the reaction of HOLY SMOKES thats what those engine flaps are for and was the first thing I tried when I got home!

I'm glad I was able to preorder one of these. I feel sorry for those who missed out since the same happened to me with the Seacons! It wasn't about saving money for it. It was that there where so many SWEET figures being released at one time that I ran out of funds. I did feel irritated reading about someone ordering more than 3 figures as if it was an arguement waiting to happen! I do agree that fanpub should allow a 2 per order limit for one week and then open the flood gates. I barely found out that they where up for pre-order. If possible at all give us an exact pre-order date! If they did I'm sorry since I'm no longer a TFCC member.

I KNEW IT I KNEW IT I KNEW IT!!! Why couldn't I convince myself to buy an extra last night!? The figure I kept for myself could have been paid for with the money I got from an extra!
WHY!?! WHY!? WHY?!! AM I SO DAMN STUBBORN?!??!?

Gugh... I guess I should at least be happy I got one. All of the other members who weren't online for the past couple of days didn't even get a fair chance.

And for those of you who think that 3 days is enough you can shut it right now. Other people do have lives you know. Ya know like, jobs that don't perfectly fit such a cluster fudge of a schedule.

There should be a 3-5 max rule. :-x

Edit: Really they're ordering more? Guess I shouldn't be that surprised. Well, I might order one extra if I get the chance. But they might have lost their rarity by then. :-?

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.

That's pretty awesome that they are ordering extras and bumping up their production numbers. Too bad Matty collector can't learn a thing or two from the TFCC.

Unfortunately for myself I can't pick up Punch/Counterpunch or Cyclonus just yet. Money is a bit too tight and I have to spend a few hundred on my car in the next few weeks. Hopefully the aftermarket prices won't be too insane, But if I'm lucky maybe I can get a preorder over at BBTS in the next few days.

Well, I was sort of joking... Maybe. :lol:

Heheheh, but honestly I didn't plan on ordering an extra from the beginning, and I guess I still don't really want to now.

Anyway, this sight unseen stuff is still bugging me (note LiKwid's pic). I hope the next magazine shows up with some pictures of it before the next pre-orders start at the least.

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.

I agree with this on principal in that it would cut down on scalping.

However, some people legitimately order extra for other people. A number of Australian members have ordered extras for other Australian fans. They're not putting on markups, some will even lose a few dollars when the dollar conversion occurs.

So that's where a limit is bad.

At the end of the day though, FunPub, like Hasbro, don't give a toss about scalpers. As long as they get their money it's all good.

Here is a message from Pete@BotCon that we received earlier today regarding the status of this year's Club exclusives ...

Pete@BotCon wrote:Here is the Tuesday morning update. As you know, Punch/Counterpunch is
sold out. We are looking in to getting some more made, but we have no
details at this time.

Shattered Glass Cyclonus is closing in on 75% sell through. Once sold
out that will be it on him, no more produced! At this time we have just
over 300 left.

Thanks!

Pete

p.s. We will be previewing other elements regarding both these
exclusives down the road

Thanks for the update Pete! We appreciate you keeping us informed.

I just don't see why so many people want the Tony Stark Cyclonus. It just looks way off, doesn't really work with the other Shattered Glass figures to me. But I do hope they get some more Counterpunch(es) made. :KREMZEEK:

So to get Member Prices, I just have to sign up for the $40 Third Class Mail Collectors Club Membership???

So who wants to sell me their Dion once that ships out? And if someone who is also a member wants to nab me this, that would rock too.

In regards to SG Cyclonus, I'm guessing people with the Botcon set want it for completionist sake. It's also nice and shiny.

No surprises here. Like I said before: no chance in hell of me getting both. Hopefully that last 25% of SG Cyclonus can hold out till Friday so I can at least get that.
