    Looking back at Unite Warriors Computron and MP Primal, both were only a single run (price was the same until sold out), and as they weren't "exclusives", there was no cap on the limit you could purchase -- with the exception of the special we got on Primal which was for only one (although you could still buy more than one Primal at the regular price).

    So from that, if Inferno and Cheetor are mainline releases, there should be no cap on purchase amount and plenty of time before being sold out -- I think Computron lasted a week, and Primal at least a month before being sold out.

    Of course, the zipPay option has blown things open, so who knows how long items will last now.

    lots of unknown, I was adjusting after MP-25l not that I was desperate for it but I realised they were going with one run mainly.

    Shockwave was luckliy to have second reissue run at all.

    God knows what, but I am sure they will review how this style is running for them.

    This affects Transformers toys only though, Their Marvel stuff had a second run on the Captain America shield and ironman helmet. So they did not apply it throughout their inventory.

    According to this post by PC, first round exclusives account for 70% of all orders and mainline releases will not be affected.

    Regardless, I still find it safer to play the refresh game, particularly with zipPay now increasing buying opportunities.

    I had a meeting that was scheduled for the same time as PC was taking orders of the MP Thrust. Ended up ordering earlier in the day from RK, as I did with the previous TT Mall exclusive seekers.

    Pretty sure you could take a toilet break as it took only 2 minutes to place an order on your phone.

    That's why you have to practice your "apology face" when you show up five minutes late...

    I usually order within the first minute and find that anything after 10 to 15 minutes you start to get a bottleneck with people reporting sold out whilst others are reporting successful buys.

    Did stopping the press look like this?:

    HA I wish can literally take up hour or more to get going again when it stops something similar to that!
