There was no way we could have possibly predicted the McFarlane Toys Collector?s Club Exclusive Biker Chick Repaint would sell out as quickly as it did (it?s unprecedented). We understand the popularity of this figures has made it difficult for a number of our fans to obtain a Biker Chick Repaint for themselves and while we would like nothing more than to satisfy the collecting needs of each and every one of our fans, we also understand that such a thing is simply not possible. As of right now, we do have a few hundred figures remaining that will be placed in the SPAWN STORE as soon as we are able to verify the exact number of remaining pieces.

?When will the remaining Biker Chick Repaints be for sale??

Within the next few days (possibly tomorrow), but I have no doubt they will go just as quickly as they did on Tuesday. When we are getting ready to place them in the SPAWN STORE we will make an announcement on out message boards

Then some blah, blah...... then

Quote:

Having said all of that, there is a chance we will produce a second run of these figures (as we?ve done before) to be sold through the Collector?s Club. When will this happen? I am not sure. As of right now we are discussing the possibilities and as soon as we decide on a course of action we will be sure to let you know via our UPDATES and NEWS stories on SPAWN.COM.

I hope they do have a second run of them. There are a lot of people saying that they didn't have a chance to order one cause they sold out so very fast. I figured she'd sell out pretty quickly, but not within a day, so I can see why those who didn't get her are royally pissed.

See this is what should have been done...put an announcement on the board about when the sale will be up, and go from there...

I didn't even know it was on sale until I came home from school and didn't get a chance to get it as the store kept messing up...

Now, I hope the assholes on the board who just love putting people down will realize that this was one of the MAIN reasons why there was a lot of angry folks out there, including me. [img]graemlins/hmmm.gif[/img]

I missed out.. This is the first spawn related collectors club exclusive i don't have. [img]frown.gif[/img] They really need to consider limiting it to one per person on the next exclusive.

OR just produce 3 times the usual amount of figures. If they're going to keep making additional lines when people bitch (and people will ALWAYS bitch), JUST MAKE MORE OF THEM RIGHT UP FRONT! (...and no, I'm not one of those scalpin' shitheads either! [img]wink.gif[/img] )

That's a catch-22 there Nom. The main reason the Biker Chick is a hot item is because she is a limited edition. Produce more numbers and the demand goes down. I'm sure McToys would rather sell out a hot figure rather than be stuck with excessive inventory.

Limiting it to 1 per person won't work either. As an example:

I have access to 5 credit cards, 5 e-mail accts and 5 addresses between home and work. See where I'm going with this?

And this doesn't even account for friends who don't collect but could order for me.

I'm sure Dion and crew will make some changes for the next CC but have no clue what they'll be. Nevertheless, as with all MTCC's there will be a group that has complaints because for whatever reason they weren't able to order 1 or 2 or .... That's the nature of 'exclusives.'

Now, as far as the future exclusives go, I'll continue to do as I always have which is order 3 for me and 3 for the wife. Then I use the extras to help folks out as I did this time. If I happen to miss out, oh well, maybe someone will be able to hook me up next time.

sure it would help, cause if u were a scalper (and im not saying you are [img]wink.gif[/img] ) that would cut you from ordering 15 to 5.

(And I remember Dion saying that it was a "one time deal" with the Oz monkeys....guess not.)

personally, I just want another Biker Chick in case my Hellspawn style repaint doesn't work out [img]tongue.gif[/img]

urizen I actually wanted because I thought it was a cool fucking demon-guy-thing [img]tongue.gif[/img]

They are "toying" with the idea because I'm sure announcing the second run on the monkeys killed their demand. I see very little action on the monkeys in the secondary markets.

I'm willing to bet McToys still has an inventory of monkeys left over.

GOOD! I hope they choke on them!!!! [img]wink.gif[/img]
Seriously, maybe that's what will stop them from following through with this.

Thanks for the update! This is some potentially good news. I was away from the office all day on Tuesday and missed out. Hopefully I'll be able to order one this time around.

As for the 6 I did get, here's how they break down:
1- will open
2- will hang on MOC wall
3- chaserfan
4- sculpey
5- friend at work
6- friend on LOTR boards

#3-6 at C+S.<hr /></blockquote>I don't think anyone here even considered you were trying to scalp. I think you have the same idea as everyone else - help out the fellow collector! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Just wanted to make sure there was no misunderstandings on why I purchased what I was able to purchase is all

understandable, but this isn't the white board afer all - [img]tongue.gif[/img] hell I got accused of being a scalper and I just ordered 3!! [img]eek.gif[/img]

We all have seen how you bent over backwards to make sure chaserfan and sculpty were taken care of. I know you are ok in my book, and I am sure in everyone else's book that has a clue on this board!
March 11th, 2004, 05:37 PM
chaserfan

and I for one sure as hell appreciate your help 316!

and -meg, saying this isnt the white board is an understatement! [img]biggrin.gif[/img] much happier place and friends over here!
