That took a while. I'da thought they'd sell out some time ago...

They actually sold out by a month and few days. I'd say that's pretty incredible. Not only that, but they made a higher production run then last year and that set didn't sell out.

Hmmm that is a good question.. Call them and inquire.

I sent mine over about 10am today. Called and asked if I had gotten in for the set and was told that they were still processing paperwork and that if they were at the sell out number by the time they got to mine that I would be called with "other options".

I find this tidbit of news rather interesting.

The defning outcry about it's expense was huge and yet the set is now sold out.
The bubbling anger of 3 out of the 6 popular seekers being in this set versus mass retail and yet the set is now sold out.
The huge cries of people saying I'm not going to throw away $300 on three seekers and yet this set is now sold out.

I wonder if anyone who spent their time being so angry are pissed for a different reason of now not being able to get the set. I guess in this case it's "you whine, you lose".

**Rep. +1**

got my order in on Monday and it was confirmed Wednesday and now Friday they are officially sold out.

I haven't seen the others get sold out before so that's impressive, but then look at the amount of interest Botcon got this year as opposed to prior years.

Going to be very hard to find the other exclusives for non-attendees

The only complaint I'm going to have is if they do not have enough of the souvenier sets for those that want them.

I swear, if I don't get my Alpha Trion...worlds will burn.

****!!!!!

I was just planning today on how I was going to be able to save up enough money to order that next week, & now this.

Crap.

Oh, & the best thing about it....since they're doing it in the set, there's no way in hell any of those other 3 seekers will ever see a retail shelf.

.....sorry, I'm just really bummed right now. The set was supposed to be a birthday present, even had a rather heated argument with my wife today about wether or not we could afford it, & after I finally get her talked into getting it, this happens.....

....****!!!
