Damn that sucks!
Is there any chance of offering an allocation of these exclusives to trusted forum members just so that we don't miss out?

Strange development. I have happily ordered the TTM exclusives through PC previously, just ordered MP-14+ through TTM directly this time to test out buying direct from Japan as insurance for future limited releases that PC may not have gotten (like EVA where they only got 2).
I have noticed some angst on the board regarding the MP Thundercracker and Ramjet pre orders, I imagine this is playing into PC's decision. Well those 8:30pm pre order starts are going to get nuts again

I just don't understand the whinging about having to wait. If you must have it as soon as it's out, then go order from somewhere that guarantees that. Don't bitch and make it worse for the rest of us who know PC is a little slower but always gets the bot to you at generally the lowest price.
So sick of seeing posts on here and FB saying "where is my [insert bot name]". Don't be so impatient people. They will arrive when they arrive and knowing the delivery date doesn't make it arrive any sooner...

Spot on!
Thing is, if you go to the US forums, people are still waiting on stock of, say Ramjet, from the bigger players such as BBTS and TFSource!
Short of ordering direct from TTMall, there's no guarantee that ordering from larger stores will get you your figure faster! We're lucky we've even got a local store that's offering these exclusive figures in the first place!
Yeah, the level of entitlement is off the charts -- it's pathetic!

Sorry
Sorry again guys, we know its small bunch in the overell scheme, but unfortunately those voices are the loudest.
and the expectation being set for us in a still growing phase is just not realistic , hence we tier shipments and try to reward the earlier orders.
This does not effect normal releases as we will still keep going with the 2 shipments in that process as well.
the good news is the 1st round shipment is 70 percent of total orders
and due to becoming the largest reseller in oz for our hasbro asia contact, there are some items we hope to have before the release date , so they can actually start shipping the day of the official release.
this is going to be a huge step and service we can offer to the super early pre orders we get.
We may revist the TT mall decision at a later time , we understand for those upset with PC that sometimes there is a wait, but unlike other suppliers we get the qty we order and fulfil our obligations.
We have introduced a express service fee which is optional for those who have placed an order months after a pre order opens and would be not getting a 1st round spot. We have based this on the OS prices of the figures to be shipped via EMS etc.
We are going to suggest people who dont like waiting should choose this option.
To avoid this and be at the top, pre orders open 8.30pm EST. We feel this will always be the TF offer time as it widely known as our default PO time.
Sometimes I suppose it is hard for people to understand how many orders we get sometimes. When we entered the scene we sold about 20 units of an item. very easy to manage orders that small and fast,
To maybe help people understand just how lucky we were with mp-11t
we were able to secure 168 units.
To make this possible we had to take allotments from a few suppliers .
this means we relied on 3 places to ship us items and how they chose to do so was going to have to be to there conveinance as we were sometimes taking numbers from other small clients of theirs.
I have run reports tonight, and I have not seen anyone who orders in the first 24 hours of a PO not be in the first round of shipments. I think anything beyond this runs the risk of getting the item later in the month .
also If you request an item to be attached to avoid shipping, this also means the item wont ship until the other item arrives.
PC has a very strong positive relationship with this group, and you guys will still be informed of upcoming pre orders at the same times as our facebook page.
on a positive note, hasbro giftsets are are still available offweb but hasbro has not signed off on official website or store listings.
but we have ETA and pricing so we have been promoting this so you guys get in first before we advertise on the big websites.

maketoys
also had a few people email us today about concerns regarding maketoys products.
we have spent thousands with a authorised reseller, so any defects faults etc
that should be fixed or replaced will still be possible through us and must be under ACL law anyway , mythbusters final season started early it seems
