To be honest, it should. I've never been known to get something earlier than others. 
I'll take pics of Boa later. I got home so late last night due to delayed trains that I didn't have time to do anything besides open them.

Good news is mine arrived today. The BB card is fucked. Bent all to hell. TS is in good shape and looks really cool. I'll have to check but I'm pretty sure TS belongs to Fog. If so, I'm going to buy the extra for myself when he comes available.
I think so too. I have the official list somewhere on the site. I'll search tonight when I have more time
I know on HT nobody has the balls or brains to say it, but all the fucked up figure cards land squarely on Fun Pub's head. THEY pack the figures into the "special" boxes in Texas and I'm willing to bet that whomever they got to do it is being paid very little to do so, hence there are plenty of damaged and defective figures going out that never should have. To their credit, they have taken care of the CS issues I've had with them, but even accounting for the interwebz bitch factor, they are sending out a LOT of damaged goods.
I got two sets, specifically so I could open one and keep the best-carded one carded. Without fail, every set (I still have yet to open Month 2 at all) has had one damaged enough for me to not feel bad about opening it.
For folks getting these to keep carded, the condition's not terrible on my end, but I wouldn't say they're as good as they should be for the price point. One could argue that they're "just toys" but let's face it... These aren't exactly your run of the mill toys. They're meant for collector's, and it's from the Collector's Club. So they should be in pretty pristine condition at $30 a pop.

I sold him for retail + shipping.
None of mine have come damaged. They must fear my wrath more than others.

Maybe I should have paid $2 for bubble wrap
I know you're joking, but if it were an option, I would. I guarantee you Fun Pub's either got relatives/kids packing these things into boxes or they're hiring illegals to do it. I imagine between the subscription services and them actually making figures people want, they've got a sudden influx of money like they've never seen without giving a CC backdoor to Eastern European hackers.
Why do I care if he likes over paying for mostly halfa$$ed figures and getting his CC info passed around like Jennifer Aniston?
I just couldn't do it. They sent me a begging email this morning, but I cannot pay for that crap. Maybe next year if the figure is better, I'll get a credit card prophylactic and jump back into their virus-ridden swampland. Until then, they can keep Franken'burg, their crappy subscription figs, and that retina-burning epic failure of a con set.
Your posts are always so beautifully crafted and worded nacho
I'm glad you appreciate my wordsmithing...
I got the same begging email.
Was it just me, or did it have a Scott-from-Mattel vibe to it?
The same kind of fear-mongering matty uses. "You won't get your discounts if you don't sign up!" and the like. Of course, why would I need a discount if I didn't like the figures enough to resubscribe in the first place?
Given, they'll have to step up their game several notches to rival Scott on the weasel-meter, but it definitely had a tone to it.

Discounts?! HA! Retail has better prices than they do on current stuff.
I was surprised to hear many Hisstankers never get their club magazines too.
I re-upped. Iceberg's a huge gamble this year. I will likely only keep the carded one if the actual head turns out looking like the one in the prototype and not getting replaced.
Funny thing though... I got an email saying my account would be auto-renewed with my card on file (I had no card on file) and then I got an email saying that my card had been declined because there was no card on file (no shit) and so I went in and renewed, and then got a confirmation email, and then this morning got another email saying that my membership has expired due to not having a card on file, but I can log in and add it again and renew.
Umm....

Yea I had the exact same thing happen to me Rex. I have now added a card on file and added it to my cart and did it that way.
And you're both a month away from having to cancel said cards because they've been stolen by a large Ukrainian man named "Peggy"...
Thing is, the credit card company won't know any difference. They'll just think it's MW still doing his same ol', same ol'.
If they know better, they'll charge an Asian hooker and your credit card comp will just think youre on vaca
Hahaha.
But when some fucktard tries to buy a bicycle in the U.K. they shut that shit down!
Haha. I think I had the same thing happen to me! Or were you talking about mine?
The last time my CC was compromised, someone was trying to buy a bunch of tuxedos from a store in Las Vegas with an actual cloned card.
LOL. No, I was talking about my card. Some fucker tried to buy a $600 Bike or some shit. My card company denied it.
Later after the investigation I got a transcript of my purchases for the past 24 months. I had nothing but $5-$7 charges of Taco Bell and Burger King all in my zip code. So it wasn't hard to spot this crazy ass charge LOL
Per Eddie's sexting request, some size comparisons for Big Boa. (At least I think this is what he meant when he asked to see pics of my "big boa"... hmm...)
I trashed those shitty lower factory legs that came with Rockblock the second I took him out of the pack, but I think the legs are the same height. If not, then Big Boa is roughly the same height as Rockblock but with the helmet, he seems to be pretty much one of the tallest Joes in the ME line. Obviously, Night Adder, Roadblock (Resolute), and Road Pig will be roughly the same because they use the exact same bodies. Regardless, he's pretty fucking big.
