for all those who are waiting of FT- Grinder, i just got an email from Mohock (toy shop in NZ) that stock will arrive in 2 weeks time.
This could be used as an indicator to real shipping times since we are on the same side of the planet.

especially when you have pre paid figs for a year which you could have earned interest in your banks rather than reward points which are useless if orders are not fulfilled.Quote:

I am now at the stage where I lost interests in updates. I just want to hear notifications from people. I have gone past "I got a reply for March" as it only points to Orders in May or June which was pretty much what they stated in Feb and March. If information on updates are useless, then is equals to no communications as it is false communication < people lost your trust and hope. I rather hear the sad truth, than being lead on.
Hmm...
Edit: Should clarify this was from April 30th at 4:42pm
Yep, if push comes to shove and we really want the things we ordered in some cases to find these items elsewhere will cost most of us at least $100 extra per item. If PC have been having supplier issues they should have informed the customers right away and gave us the option of either waiting to see what would happen or a full refund immediately. As it stands because PC hasnt been transparent they have forced upon us limited options for getting those figures if we have indeed missed them.Quote:

All I can really add to the discussion (since we already "know" that Inferno, Grapple, etc etc etc etc are all coming "in may") is that PlanetX Genesis is currently in limbo (oh yay, a refund and having to pay $200 more? how fun), but I should have an answer for that "in a week"
I deal with weallen from time to time great guy do deal with. Mohock used to get their stuff about 1-2 months after pc but now by the looks of it they are getting it before i.e mp-11sw. Lets hope grinder is on his way as I pre ordered this 14 months ago.Quote:

I wouldn't recommend that though because i feel at this point in time pc is a risk and doesn't deserve a look in after all this bs.
Im not worried about missing out on figures, my concern like many is what happens to my money if they don't turn up? How long should i wait? When my preorders were made i had had no problems with PC and always got my stuff relatively early even though others were having problems. Now i am not as confident. I am not super worried as MP Grapple could still turn up this month but i am not confident in PC going forward. I think i will pay the extra for better service. I would only have myself to blame if i continue ordering more items when my other items are overdue.
Well I was waiting for Megatronia and the NBN to arrive in April......and I got the NBN first :D
For what it is worth, pc should start showing pictures when stock arrives, I know a few dealers who does this to show proof they are not being doggy about their items.
And the mp-36 mystery continues ....:confused:
