I don’t knwo the number of mr gone figures, I expect it may be as demand goes on.

Wow–really glad I got a preorder of the whole set. Can’t wait to finally get my hands on some Indie Spotlight! Though I am disappointed that Mr. Gone isn’t coming out with the like Shocker originally said. Though I’d definitely prefer they get it right to waiting longer. Oh, and do you guys have a link to the Mr. Gone source? I’d love to get a look at him. The head sculpt we’ve already seen was great, and I’m sure the finished product will look amazing.

I just saw that these haven’t been posted yet. Apparently because they don’t have cartons to mail them in yet.
Still don’t see why that is preventing them from showing us some photos of all the figures.
No pictures. Not sent to anyone. Gee, almost like they don’t exist.

Still_Waiting, I don’t think that’s completely fair, to be honest. I admit not having the cartons to mail them in is pretty annoying, but I don’t think we should just assume the figures don’t exist. Some pictures would be nice I guess, but it wouldn’t be anything we haven’t seen pictures of before.

So did you order from the ST website then Still_waiting? I dont think it will effect BBTS orders.

No, I ordered through a local comic shop, just like Shocker had been telling people to do. I’ve since canceled the order.
And Nothingplace, you must admit that there’s no reason not to have shown pictures of a bunch of boxes of these by now. I’m not just assuming they don’t exist because they’re not shipping. It’s that and the fact nobody has seen any of them at all. And I got banned and deleted for asking to see pictures of them.
It just doesn’t add up.

Your comic shop is at fault there. Diamond messed up ST’s listings and canceled some orders and Shocker Toys canceled all their orders through Diamond for screwing them over. Also there is pictures on their forums of the figures and their site I don’t understand why you cannot see them. If I were you I would take this wronged feeling you have and throw it at the comic shop who failed to tell you they weren’t getting anything from Diamond and then you could have ordered through Shocker Toys. What adds up to me is 1 comic shop, Diamond distributors and 1 customer nothing to do with Shocker Toys. Oh by the way after your comic shop screwed you did you contact Shocker Toys? 1 more thing to add I just got my tracking number mailed to me from paypal must be empty boxes coming according to you SW. Can we please get back on topic and talk about the fact that these are on their way to us dedicated fans who stayed informed and supported Shocker by ordering through their website. Viva la Indie Spotlight you have a nice space on my shelf cleared for you!

Shocker Toys picked up other distributors, such as Haven, who are selling to comic stores. Shocker mentioned that Haven will be getting products in the second shipment (which I assume is by sea, but I’m guessing there) in May/June. I’m presuming that that’s how Still_Waiting was able to place an order – so it wasn’t the store’s fault, if that’s the case.
