TFCC Punch/Counterpunch & Shattered Glass Cyclonus Revealed

[griffin]

As of a few hours ago according to the Official Club people, Punch/CP is now over 80% sold out, with less than 300 left.
Cyclonus was doing well as well, with about 40% sold out a couple days ago when Punch was at 50%.
Looks like they may have only produced about 1500 of each on those. Dion is a membership figure, which is likely to be at least 3000 (last year they had over 2000 members, so need at least one per member to begin with), so will probably have a few spare, as members won't be ordering another one.

GONE!!! P/CP ALL SOLD OUT

The toy scalpers are gonna love that news...
If we thought AU$80 was a lot for a Deluxe (what it worked out to be on our group order), the price of these figures on ebay when they are released will be jaw-dropping.

The Collector Club certainly raked it in with that one. A figure that would have cost them no more than US$15 wholesale to produce, and they sold it for US$59. At 1500 figures, that's an easy 60 Grand, in less than a week!
You'd think they would produce more to satisfy demand and make more a bit more money from one Exclusive of theirs that has actually paid off. And since these haven't hit the secondary market yet, a second run won't devalue the first 1500 (so no one would be complaining).

Now, in a couple years time when Hasbro decides to do a P/CP figure for whatever the current 'Universe/Generations/etc' line is, then we'll have fans complaining...
