Snow Wolf:
Sweet! I am eagerly awaiting my 25th style Footloose. He can stand besides my vintage Footloose.
A.V.A.C.:
Cool!
rfarrell22:
Got my emails too!
Sweet
Money-B:
Indeed. Great news.

Thanks for the heads up.
Sciencefriction:
I just read my email, great news! Now if I just knew if mine shipped, lol. I can't wait to get Footloose!
RuckusJr:
You will never know. And when it doesn't show up you can start an epic crybaby thread which lasts for weeks. Some generous, but ultimately douchebag, Tanker will give you one. It will come out that you already had a Footloose and you will be mercilessly harassed into giving the figure back, then mercilessly harassed until you decided to quit collecting. Until you decide not to quit, then get mercilessly harassed for not leaving when you said you were. Ultimately you will just lay low for a while and slip back into obscurity. Enjoy the next few months, SciFri.
maradona:
I've yet to get the email, but I did confirm that my membership was processed for this year, so hopefully it's only a matter of time.
dustycarlisle:
Got my email also.

Yeah, But I LOVE reading those threads! That is why I'm on the Tank. Aren't you too?
VideoViper:
Congrats to everyone who ordered, With all the bad luck the club had this year, I'm glad they are pleasently surprising some of you.
HydroMan:
Ill probably not get it like I didn't get my March magazine issue!
Crimson Rage:
Hope the post treats mine better than they did my Dial-Tone (who was crushed to buggery).
MJjoe4life:
This is cool and i cant wait for mine to show up.
diagnostik80:
So excited to get my hands on him!! Any ideas how long I'll be waiting in the UK?
Turtle Master:
It's strange to me that they are being shipped off now but end-of-May is the 'get worried' date.

I picture a Mad Max-type truck driver leaving the Club warehouse, unsure when or if he and his cargo will make it. Hopefully my package won't just be sand.

I don't think they are all actually being put in the mail today. I envision that they received the figures and in between getting the next magazine ready, getting their shit secured and getting ready for Con they will start stuffing boxes and mailing them out.

Also, that isn't just sand.. it's the official GI Joe Collectors Club Desert Ops. diorama sand. It's endorsed by Hasbro so it's an official accessory.

polyphenus:
Hope to see some pics soon.
MightyMegs:
With the club's luck, the figures will get switched and we'll all get envelopes filled with anthrax.
joe_fontes:
I can't wait to get Footloose! uhuuu!!!!!!!!
ResoluteBAT:
So this is a good sign for the other figures? (Ie. Nano-BAT? )

I wish I didn't have to be a paid member to just give them my money for items I want.

Not a good business plan from that perspective.

Or Nano-BATs you can all give/sell to me.
Xsoldier:

Duffmann:

I'm preparing my downfall now.
Deftones1982:
Also got the mail. Wondering how long it will take. Got the March magazine yesterday. I know America and Holland aren't next to each other but this took long.
ero:
Some very welcome news. Made me all kinda excited about the club again and stuff.

They may well have deliberately brought him forward with the intention of repairing some of their lost credibility (or it may just be serendipity)
Xenos:
It's interesting that they were able to start shipping so soon after the cut off period for sign-ups. They must have just ordered extra with the intention to sell them on the store. There's no way they put in their order last month and already have them in hand, is there?
drunknmunky:
” We were able to get them made early” because we f'ed up and tons of you decided not to sign up again. So we only had to get about 45 made this year! Hooray for you getting them early!
rip_cord:
Really wish Footloose wasn't handled through the Club.

Good for those getting him, I'm curious to see what the final product looks like!

Must have had "Fragile" written on the package. My post office thinks that word is not a warning but a challenge.

Probably a little of both.

I bet they went off the Dial-Tone numbers and added 10% or something. With the plans to card some extras, plus the foul up from last year, I think they were probably confident in ordering some overages. And I kinda remember them saying that the order was going to be put in sometime in December (to accommodate the carded extras).

I worked for the UK post office for ten years, and I acknowledge that you're closer to the truth than you suspect!
WildWeaselZ06:
My wife and I both got our emails. Yay.
KushViper:
Nice!!!! I imagine this is the clubs way of saying sorry.

The club is only a week earlier than usual. This is just about the time every year that the club ships the Membership Figure.
Fast_Draw:
Cool. I can't wait for this and my TFCC Runamuck.

Wait, you got the fig or the e-mail? If it's the former, pics please!
BCDX97:
I decided that this figure, to me, wasn't worth the hassle or $42.

And I'm sure it will up in value over time but I would only buy it to open it and have it in my collection, not to scalp it in the future. But congrats to you guys who will get the figure and give him the loving home he deserves.
