just had my cynder order cancelled ...


According to the publisher or manufacturer

The following is the title no longer issued: "Cynder - Skyland Single Character"

This article must now be permanently deleted from your order.

WTF? Apparently demand is vastly higher than supply on this figure.

Good thing I'm not in a huge hurry to get Cynder. I was planning on just waiting for the three pack. Sorry to hear that she slipped through your fingers. : (

wouldn't mind so much if i hadn't pre-ordered on the morning of the first day it was on the site, crazy

looks like i will be staking out TRU this coming friday morning ... just in case

Or just pre order her from the HMV.co.uk site?

hmv pre-orders are showing as march delivery though

At the time of typing, they are the only site taking pre-orders on her in Europe as far as I am aware. She is also listed on Smyths.com, but they have no date.

I found out recently that quite a few Aussies were using Amazon Germany to try to order figs. I wonder how many people in other countries were also trying?

My triple pack order was cancelled too, so irritated as I also preorder early. Empire of ice is still showing for delivery

You can also pre-order Cynder in the UK on the HMV website, with an estimated release date for the start of March.

i've got all of them pre-ordered on hmv but i was hoping to get them in february rather than march

Can Aussies pre-order from HMV UK? I am personally okay but have people I know in an Aussie forum who just got their orders reneged by Amazon Germany (and are now calling them a different name where "ma" is replaced by "hole").

Well yeah, but it costs nothing to try adding a few items to the basket and seeing what the postage comes up as, just in case it is any different

Just looked on Amazon US. Cynder going for $52? From Amazon itself? WTF? That's about £33 for one figure... Jeez... Glad I preordered from HMV

The HMV site was prettty clear on the shipping cost so I would not expect a discrepancy. That said, I am sure that the people I forwarded the details on to will still have a squiz.

As for expensive Amazon US when Amazon cannot supply they show prices from companies advertising through them. You can see the profiteering in process.
