I got the Virulent Clone 2-pack for (relatively) dirt cheap prices.

I grabbed a set of those as well. They've become inexplicably tough to find. Was tempted by Ratchet and Flareup, but have to watch the budget. Would have loved to finish up my Funpub backlog all at once but had to use some self control.

Also getting a hookup on '06 Megs and Waspinator that they put up for the insane price of $300. Good buddy of mine got in on one today and only got it for the tech spec cards. Super duper freaking happy about it. Never thought I'd own those two

So annoyed. Saw this on my commute home. Rushed to my computer. Tried to order Games of Deception loose set & Punch/Counterpunch... both out of stock.

Predictable.

Oh well... I may as well pick up the boxed Games of Deception set...

ugh... all gone

It seems that they say "Status: Discontinued" next to the figures they are out of. I feel your frustration though.

If Funpub is reading this, could I make a suggestion? I REALLY appreciate you selling these figures at a reasonable cost. But if you do something similar in the future, would you mind setting up a raffle instead?

I know that sounds crazy, but hear me out. The email said that you only had 1 of some sets. The people who were off work on the east coast had an unfair purchasing advantage compared to those on the west coast. People who didn't want ANY of these sets will still buy them up KNOWING they can almost double their money on eBay in a week. [If you don't believe me, look at the post directly above mine.] The fans who LOVE your figures, but can't/won't pay scalper prices are unable to get your products now.

Maybe next time, add a "Want to Purchase" button for these limited items? Not all the sets - just maybe the items that you have 10 or less of, especially the box sets. Wait a day or two, then pull a name from those that requested it. If you don't get enough "Wants" in that time period, then just put all of them for sale as a first come, first serve.

I came late to the party. I was gonna buy the beast wars stuff just to have it. But all sold out. It would have been nice, but it's nothing I cant live without. I hope only real collectors got their hands on these. I hope the scalpers were all too busy at their day jobs flipping burgers, moping bathrooms, and bagging groceries.

I missed out on runamuck a couple of years ago so this is my chance to get one without paying a lot of money

Although I didn't want anything from the big sale I was very happy upon checking the mail. It was a big surprise to see TFSS #5. Finally after a year of waiting Chromedome and Stylor is here and they are super sweet! Only 1 more to go now.

If it makes any of you feel better about missing out I read on twitter a scalper bought up a ton of stuff. Whoever suggested a raffle you might be on to something.
