Thanks to everyone for their support of the Club and the Biker Chick repaint figure. With the new technology at the Store, this was the fastest-selling exclusive ever. We made 5,000 pieces and sold a total of 4,900. We always keep roughly 100 pieces for damages and bad deliveries. If there's any left out of that number, we offer them in one of our "blowout" sales.

I believe those 4,900 pieces sold out in a total of about 10 hours over two different days.

I think this section may play into the number of orders per person allowed and the number of figures produced:

Honestly, I never thought this particular figure would be so overwhelmingly popular. In what turned out to be a cruel irony for many of you, this board does play a major role in certain aspects of our business. When this piece was first announced, you guys were almost universally negative about it. That's when I decided to shift my planned purchase limit from two to three.

I think since the majority of people complained about the figure and said how they weren't going to order it, less were produced and more allowed to be bought per person.

Which, I think was wrong.. Normally your first gut instinct is correct, and you should stick with it (when it comes to certain things).. This, seems like it woulda been a good one.

I mean yeah, alotta people complained about it and bitched about it,and said they wouldn't buy any for themselves, but I bet most of them bought one or two to scalp. So they still bought one.

Not doubting that at all!

I just find it funny the number of people that complain about them not listening to the fans, but I guess that only complains when they get what they want LOL. They listened, and then most being the wishy washy people that they are, got what they wanted, by unfortunately not in the manner they wanted at the time.

Exactly. They're being hypocrits and stating half-truths..

Oh I'm not getting a biker chic cause I don't like the repaint.

And turn around and order 2 to 3 for trade bait or to scalp on ebay.
