Same here. I only knew because Phil texted me. Wrong side of payday anyway! -Ralph Trust in Phil. Ever Vigilant. I have fulfilled my duty. Having sold out here it won't last 5 mins on Kapow. Karl and I were only talking about the need to be in front of a computer at the right time for these things only yesterday. |

I'm going to play Phil's game. I've placed an order, but my only worry is that usually with adjustments to shipping/tax from Amazon.com they do it as a rebate after the delivery instead of adjusting before. Phil! Do not let me forget I've preordered this!

Ooh. What method did you use to contact them?

Found it. They don't make that easy. Had to google to find their contact form!
Having weighed Blast Off in his box, that's clearly supposed to be 10 ounces, not 10 pounds. Data entry error!
I notice that figure is now temporarily unavailable. I wonder if that's because they've been bombarded with emails querying the postage...

Slightly higher prices. yeah I'm not right happy, the owner was a bit of a dick when my account didn't transfer over properly, got really funny about transferring my ID points as apparently id missed some soft deadline that wasn't advertised anywhere, will defo stick to Kapow from now on, they are always super friendly when I ask questions on twitter etc |

Dammit. Kapow won't be getting any extra stock in for Repugnus - apparently it was very limited. Well that's just shit. I'm definitely going to just be looking at Kapow's website constantly - I am NOT missing out on the fucking throne.

Just been pondering how the weekend's mayhem was pretty much for nowt. A pre-order for Repugnus from Kapow is more expensive than it is now from amazon.com, and the 'post free' pre-orders for Punch because of the weight problem are still more than the post included amended price that went up today because the import tax wasn't recalculated on the original orders when the postage was waived.
Course, the now too high import tax price on the original Punch pre-order will get part refunded after shipping, but ultimately all that panic was for nothing because both toys are now on amazon.com for a price that comes to about £28.50 for each shipped. I wish we could get everything that easily.

Repugnus and PCP ordered from Amazon.
I think I have to pass on SDCC Prime. I cant justify £50 for a carboard throne. If they had done something batshit crazy with the smaller Primal figure it might have been a tougher choice.

Smaller Primal should have been in TM colours, that would have been a slam-dunk.

See how they taunt us?! Although, yes, the artwork does include all three Monstercons, there, behind Punch, are *both* the Autobot clones! "Bet you thought we were going to release both of these, didn't you?" Hasbro laughs maniacally.
And, yeah, the forum cost me £150 or so yesterday. So that was nice.

So what did Llamagod not get? BB & Tapes? Repugnus & Counterpunch?
Hasbro did release both Clones in the end!
