Arn't they still taking orders?

This toy has certainly been a 'Pain in the A' to secure. First, Captured Prey said they had sold out on the 2nd bacth but then the next day they didn't. Tried ordering from Kapow toys but then my order got cancelled. Then the guy from TFW happened by but by then it was too late because I had already paid money to the re-opened pre-order at Captured Prey.

At least you guys had a chance with that new guy. He probably gave you a superior price with shipping than a group order from an expensively shipped US source ever could.

Yup $150CAD shipped ems was ridiculously delightful. I hope you all can get your hands on this one

Yeah, I was having a read on the Quake Wave thread on the TFW2005 forums, apparently all that happened was CP's store system hit the preset limit for orders. The owner just had to raise the stock limit making it available once more. Supplier orders for the second wave are still open as far as I know, cut off might be mid-late Feb if I remember correctly, and the CP owner definitely said he would order additional stock beyond preorders so there should be a little breathing room.

I was planning to order from CP the night they temporarily ran out, ended up placing an order for the second wave with Acestoystore, which seems alright. Probably won't get batteries thrown in, but not a big deal. I'm more concerned about the opaque hand/gun as I would prefer not to pay extra shipping.

It certainly looks like it will be worth the wait. :)

Found the post regarding order cut off, second from last post here.

So chances are anyone looking to order through CP will still be able to up until the end of Feb. :)

Seems like an ongoing thing for all of the popular third party stuff. FT is not yet at the level to forecast market demand and supply accordingly to the level of FP, so in swoops the scalpers.

Yay, I've pre-ordered mine from Captured Prey. Awesome!!!! :D:cool:

Put my order through last night with CP :D

Now i have to wait :(
