Footloose coming to the Club store

[Nirvana]

Not that we didn't know this, but the July 2012 issue is here with the numbers:

We will soon be putting the Footloose figures online in the new club store. We will have approximately 500 carded figures (100 that were signed by Will Ryan at the Convention, and 400 unsigned). The limit is one carded and one loose per member. There will be approximately 300 poly-bagged Footloose figures available as well, also limited to one per member. Any souvenirs left from the convention will also be online in the store.

Other news is that the MCAX.com auction site idea has been shelved and the member forums should be back during the summer.


Email from the Club shortly after the initial posting:
This quick update is going out to all members of both clubs.

It will still be a couple more weeks (we don't know exactly how long as we are waiting on the host to finish their work) until our dedicated store server is online.

Once it is ready to go, we will let you know that products in the store have be made active and you will be able to order items from the clubs again.

We do not anticipate that all items will be available in the club stores on opening day so please have patience as we finish the migration from the old e-commerce site to this one.

In addition, to try and avoid a denial of service issue (because of the volume) we will only bring one set of products online at a time.

We will email you when we are going to bring the products online. We are anticipating being ready to go the week of July 23rd, but that could change.

Thanks to both groups for your patience and the two great conventions this year!

8/2 Update: Store opening 8/3

This quick update is going out to all members of both clubs.

Both stores are closed until tomorrow at approximately noon CDT when we are planning to bring the G.I. Joe Club Store online. The Transformers Club Store will come back online at the same time.

For the Joe Club members:

Please note that there are LIMITS on the loose Footloose, carded Footloose and signed carded Footloose membership figures.

You are limited to ONE of each (per membership account) until we see how the demand goes. We can track exactly how many of each are ordered by account. If you place more than one order, we WILL CANCEL all of your orders and charge you a 25% administration fee. Please do not try this as we want as many members as possible to get these figures at the offering price. Quantities are limited.

In addition, we are still adding items to both stores, so it will take approximately another week to get all of our inventory back in the new stores.

Thanks to both groups for your patience and the two great conventions this year!

[drunknmunky]

Thanks for the info. Hopefully I'll be able to snatch one.

[Spectre]

Thanks Nirvana

[CobraOfficer999]

Good news, everyone.

[fireflyguy]

How much will they be?

[Mongoose]

Not bad numbers. Here's hoping those who didn't get one before will be able to get one now.

[Tomahawk]

Cool, thanks for the info!

[sbartek1974]

I'm assuming this thread will be front paged?

[07GT500 COBRA]

MOC run of 1,000 total is what we heard at the Con.

[Dragasses]

ugh.

[The Batman]

Hot damn! This is good news! The Club is trying to make up for the CC dibocle!

[Mandingo Rex]

Thanks for the info. They need to gain as many points as possible after pissing off a lot of folks with their endless list of shortcomings this year.

With such an in-demand character as Darklon relegated to Con-only, I'm glad they pulled some for the members back home for this year's JoeCon.

It's not a Con exclusive, and pissed me off to no ends last year when they made the carded Dialtone out to be one. As if there weren't enough exclusives already for attendees.

[sbartek1974]

Hot damn! This is good news! The Club is trying to make up for the CC dibocle!

Well, I hope they do. I just now renewed my subscription.

[sparks007]

Hahaha so I'll just wait and buy
My carded footloose from the store. Awesome news!

[The Commander]

what i hope is that if you bought one (of either) at JoeCon that you can still buy one from the Club's store.

[Starfighter]

Well, I hope they do. I just now renewed my subscription.

Your also getting an Iceberg figure too. I will be renewing for that as well.

[sbartek1974]

Hahaha so I'll just wait and buy
My carded footloose from the store. Awesome news!

Yeah, seeing what people are bidding on him on eBay, I'd have to say we lucked out on this deal.

[sbartek1974]

And that's what actually puts the woody in my pants. :)

[Starfighter]

what i hope is that if you bought one (of either) at JoeCon that you can still buy one from the Club's store.

I would assume so. It will most likely be first come first serve. Unless, perhaps they have implemented new software that will let them know if you have already purchased one. That is a lot of Data Entry for the Club Staff to manually input by hand.

[Starfighter]

And that's what actually puts the woody in my pants. :)

Unfortunately, the Club did state that Iceberg will not be exactly like the original R.A.H. figure, but Lanny does a great job with the parts and paint schemes on nearly all of the Club Figures. -TFF

[Typhis]

Don't care I would like Darklon

[Xenos]

I hope it doesn't go on sale at the end of next week. I'll be at Comic Con, and I would hate to miss out on it.

[Nirvana]

I figure Iceberg will end up with the twice canceled snowboard Arctic Duke jacket.

[Mainframe]

Awesome, I just bought one for 167.00 on E-bay.

[Starfighter]

I hope it doesn't go on sale at the end of next week. I'll be at Comic Con, and I would hate to miss out on it.

The Club stated when I asked privately, that the Store is still working on a way for it to not lockout when too many people are on at once. A band-with thing. They have yet to still get the Transformers Club Store back on line and that will be first. They are still trying to sell the TF exclusives and have not had a way to do it yet.

Note: They said that it would at least be a couple of weeks. Hopefully sooner though. That was on Sunday.

Cool, thanks. I was also afraid that they were going to come out with the FSS at the same time as SDCC.

[Starfighter]

Email from the GIJCC:

You must be amongst the first to get the Club news. I usually have to wait a few hours after most others to receive their e-mails. I wonder what batch I am in?

[Starfighter]

They were still quite on the FSS. I hope that they take advantage of the time that they have while store product is on hold past wave 1. The Club did make it sound like we are getting a second FSS regardless of what the first FSS does. That is good to know. I do think that they will both be a success too.

[SonOfMindbender]

Yeah, I just got this too. More to buy in two weeks!!

[The Commander]

Check again, i just received my email as well.

[Nirvana]

Yep, same here. Added it to the first post.

[Lody]

The carded figure is $30, the bagged is $25

Weird that they sold out of the bagged set at JoeCon

Wonder if they kept any aside.

[Zarana]

Free kicks in the balls to anyone adding the suffix -gate to foot looses name.

There were only 20 available from the sounds of it.

[Xerofall]

I'd like an autographed one, I already have a loose figure. Well, here's to hoping and faith that I'll score, lol.

[atomatron]

hoping whoever wants one gets one and not just to resell >:(

[Davestro]

It's great they are offering this to club members not at Joe Con. I wonder if they will have any of the con exclusives. The Darklon/Sgt. Major two pack had a run of 1000 as well. I know I was told that I could only buy one, got my badge stamped twice (for Footloose and the 2-pk) and filled put the yellow ticket so they could mail it (I was part of the group that didn't get the 500 they had on site).

[bandonov]

Sweet

[Bionic Commando]

I definitely want a carded Footloose signed or unsigned.I just want some good old fashioned vintage carding with modern figures

[Fast_Draw]

Just ship my Con set and I'll be satisfied.

[Tauron]

Made sure to link my email with my cell phone so I don't miss out on anymore club exclusives. Maybe with so many available I'll get one this time.

[sbartek1974]

hoping whoever wants one gets one and not just to resell >:(

Why? Would that be...bad? (looks off riddled with guilt)

[sithewok]

I just hope I can at least get a bagged one. Thanks to several credit card issues (due to the club), I wasn't able to sign up in time to get him.

[AlleyViperEXE]

Didn't want to create a whole new thread for this, but what's the difference between a "Third class" membership and "First Class?"

[vampirexxi]

While it hasn't been explicitly stated, I'm going to assume that nothing, Footloose, con exclusives, etc will be for sale until the day the site goes active? Do they sell stuff over phone? trying to nab a carded footloose.

[sbartek1974]

Didn't want to create a whole new thread for this, but what's the difference between a "Third class" membership and "First Class?"

I think the amount of time it takes for you to get your magazine. First Class will get it there faster.

[cobraEdaco]

I think the amount of time it takes for you to get your magazine. First Class will get it there faster.

I believe that to be the case as well.

[Nirvana]

Correct. It only deals with the speed the magazine gets to your box. It will not affect how fast you get your membership figure.

[AlleyViperEXE]

Correct. It only deals with the speed the magazine gets to your box. It will not affect how fact you get your membership figure.

Oh, ok. That's cool.

[Nirvana]

Everyone start placing your bets for the over/under of the Club making it the week of July 23rd. :D

[Tomahawk]

Nice

[Typhis]

I just hope I can at least get a bagged one. Thanks to several credit card issues (due to the club), I wasn't able to sign up in time to get him.

I'm still having problems with my credit card too thanks to them. Can't use my card unless I call first to let them know I'm useing it. It's such a pain in the ass not to mention embarrssing.

[Yoo Joe]

nice , I just joined the club and missed footloose

[Indiana Joe]

nice , I just joined the club and missed footloose

You'll get next years - Iceberg !! That will be "cool" ;p
i do want the footloose though. Much better then the dialtone from last year. (i don't have either).

Would anyone trade a bagged footloose for a MOC Cobra Leader "CC" hooded (black)suite w/podium ?
Or a MOC Renegades storm shadow ?

[fireflyguy]

Do you have to be a member to buy from the club store?

[silverfox870]

Do you have to be a member to buy from the club store?

Nope, but you do get a price break. In the "old days" the break on the price of a Convention Set was the same as the membership osted.

[echoplex]

Nice, I wouldn't mind having a carded Footloose.

[JoeMama]

awesome, time to re-enlist.

[ChaplainAsst]

Do you have to be a member to buy from the club store?

The difference in the price between a club member and a non-club member is the annual membership dues. Oh, and you get to be a member if you buy the club figure.

All that is to say ... you have to join in order to get the Club figure. They just don't phrase it that way.

[fireflyguy]

So not to open old wounds, but is it okay to use a card with the club now?

[Deftones1982]

The online clubstore will have 500 carded Footloose figures of which 100 are signed by Will Ryan. Source is the new magazine (July issue). There will be 300 bagged versions for the store. There a limit for a member, one of each.

When they posted both versions of slaughter a few years back on the club site, you could have the membership which did not require you to pay the annual fee. You were able to buy the figures for a small markup, ten bucks or so if I recall. On the club site, it still shows you can get a membership and figure, is that an error?

[Hawkeye]

Awesome!

I sure would like one on the card!

[Jeffrozup]

When?

[boomer77]

Awesome, I definitely want a carded one.
Then I can finally open my poly bagged one from the club!

[Typhis]

Wish Darklon would be sold

[Deftones1982]

They are stating in this months issue that they would put some on the store of products that aren't sold out at the Con. I know that they brought not enough 2 and 3 packs to the Con so maybe.

[Gottomanytoys]

when are they opening the store back up

[sithewok]

Supposedly in the next week or so. I'll believe it when I see it.

But at least then you'll be getting Footloose and eventually next year's Iceberg, too. :)

I would only expect to see a few Cargo trucks and OG Helipcopters.

All the two and three packs sold out.

Not sure if the parachute figure sold out or not though.

[07GT500 COBRA]

The parachute figure sold out at the con.

Yes, the Parachute Figures did in fact sell out on Saturday. They even sold the remaining opened ones used for the drop itself that were not picked up by the kids.

[Starfighter]

The parachute figure sold out at the con.

You beat me to it.

[wrw311]

Im really really hoping there is noway these will go up over the weekend. I work on a computer all day so its easy for me to check.

Anyone know if they have ever gotten anything released on the site over a weekend?

Thanks I just really don't wanna miss Footloose he is great looking figure.

[MJjoe4life]

All of the convention exclusives are sold out! The 2 pack is what they did not bring enuff of b/c only half of the shipment showed up. The other half will be shipped later around august. The carded footloose are not convention exclusives but club exclusives that is why there will be some available to buy from the store whenever it gets up and running.
They make the same statement every year about if there are exclusives not sold out they would be available thru the club store.

Aren't the adults allowed to get the free para-drop fig after the kids get a chance? I'm surprised the Club was able to find an extras.
