Collector Club Sideburn toy update

[griffin]

An email was sent out today from the Collector Club, updating members on this year's Membership figure (Sideburn).

They say that the toys have just arrived in America but haven't yet made it through Customs, so could still be a week before they begin shipping them out to members and listing up the remainder on their Store site.

They are in the United States but have not cleared customs. We are not going to give you an estimated date as we don't know when they will release them to us. As soon as we receive them, they will go to the mailer.
As soon as we mail them, we will send out another email. Thanks for your patience as we don't have control over these different government agencies.

I'd be VERY worried if they had...

Sideburns have finally shipped, and Americans are starting to get them, so should be arriving here within 2-3 weeks (they always prioritise the domestic ones first which can take up to a week to arrive, instead of sending out the international ones first so that everyone gets theirs closer together).
Still no indication if they ended up having any left over after fulfilling their membership quota. If they have any left over, I'll make mention of it being added to their online store.

It seems that they didn't have many left over after fulfilling their membership quota, as they have just mentioned on their site that they have a very limited supply which will be on their store shortly.
I will try to get as many as I can, for those who wanted them... but if they limit the quota I might have to see if the other members here can help out.

They also mentioned that they have finalised the decos on the three figures for next year, and will post up images in the next month.

Hem, I may need to head to eBay to try and secure a couple if the club can't provide enough for griffins large order

Yeah, last I checked the damage on eBay wasn't too bad. I'm just worried the prices might jump after these sell out on the club store. :/

oooh I hope they dont put a limit to it. keeping my fingers crossed...

Well, it seems I have solved the problem.

they have all been sent to my old work address. happily I get on well with the fellas there and have managed to pick up issue 40 and sideburn, in excellent condition too I might add. the only thing bent was the instructions.

in email correspondence with the club I should be able to get issue 39 re-sent. it's weird, I'm sure I received issue 38 at my new address and I definitely received the cheetor and thrust figures from them at my new address. and I checked the member page and the address there is correct. it seems like they have 2 unconnected Databases...

anyway it's all solved now hopefully, the end of a saga.
