Happy Chinese New Year or Lunar Calendar New Year.

Here's a pic of a pair of lucky red underwear.

I haven't gotten my payment request for arcee and chromia either, and I also got the email from HLJ about Windblade. I was afraid the Windblade shortage might also apply to the other two, so last night I emailed HLJ and this is their reply:


"Unfortunately, due to unexpectedly low production numbers of all three of these collectibles, we received a much smaller shipment of these items than we ordered. Orders are filled in exact chronological order, and we're afraid stock ran out before your order and the orders of some other customers could be filled.

We do not anticipate receiving additional stock, but are keeping your order on file as long as there is a chance a cancellation could fill your order. These items may become available for your order if other customers cancel their orders.

If all stock is allocated to other customers without being able to fill your order, our orders department will e-mail you to let you know."


I ebayed Legends Arcee and Chromia to see what the prices are like, and they are nuts; it's like $60 a piece. Everywhere else is of course sold out, so I guess all I can do is sit and hope for the best. Might consider the Hasbro version, but I donno.

Or, if all you guys can go ahead and cancel your preorders so I can move up the list, that would be great.

A3U still seems reasonable if they have any left.

A3U only has Chromia and Windblade left on their website:

Anyone hear anywhere else, if other retailers were affected by the shortage, or is it still just HLJ.com?

I was wondering if any local Van collectors signed up to the Collectors club. I am really looking forward to the Marissa Fairborn and Afterburner kit and need help getting my hands on one.


Thanks!

I noticed target is now putting price stickers on toys now, sucks if you are a misb collector. I saw 2x powerglides like that yesterday at willowbrock target in Langley.

If it's on the bubble the residue can be easily removed with lighter fluid.

I found a white eraser takes sticker residue off without any damage to the bubble or cardboard.
