FC got their Giant Haystacks variant in on Thursday. We've shipped all our preorders and still have a few left over. I'm going to give it a week so that everyone can get their packages in and then I will put the rest up for grabs. It won't be at the pre-order price, to be fair to the people who ordered it several months ago.
I expect Giant Haystacks standard by the end of the week (we've filled a few as we got a partial shipment in so far).
Dynamite Kid Retros should be very very close behind (both versions). If I have any leftover they'll also be up for grabs (same deal, not at the pre-order price to be fair)
Big Daddy will probably arrive by the end of July if not sooner from what I'm told. Lots of progress being made on several figures, its exciting stuff! I'll also throw an update in the BCW thread!

I think the mods will probably direct you to the classifieds section for buying/trading, mate. 🍻 Just seeing that I have to post 50 times before being able to see Classifieds, probably should’ve read up on it all first, best get posting I knew there was some sort of post requirement to view the classifieds but I wasn't too sure how many. I've honestly never seen the classifieds,I don't think. Best finding a thread you like and have at it, lol. |

I really like that they’ve taken inspiration from the unreleased figure but added their own spin to it
To me that’s more of a creative and artistic endeavour than just releasing a copy of the unreleased figure

Has anyone seen the Ethan page vlog when he signs his first chella? Very cool.
Wish I knew about Ethan earlier, I enjoy his work I’ve seen and being doing a bit of catching up on and his vlogs are very entertaining. He also seems like a very cool dude with his fans. Ironically not as an ego boost but genuinely seems very appreciative.
Hope chella put some more figs out for him and I’m catching up on the originals

Right so americans get their figures before uk based people do, when the toy company is uk based. Says everything, us brits get screwed over yet again.

I really look forward to his weekly videos on the hunt. Been a little less enthused lately from watching the Major Pod stuff because they don't do as many Toy Hunt vlogs and there's only so many times I can watch them at shows selling their merch and signing autographs before I get bored. |

I've contacted Chella about that previously and received a response saying that they would be addressing their shipping/distribution in coming months, so hopefully we will get shipments to their UK customers at the same time (if not before) than their US distributors, but we can only wait and see

So I'm glad they're doing a different version. Can't wait for preorders for this one. |

Ordered 3 more Adam Bombs, hoping to receive at least one that is MOC worthy. Chella customer service never came back to my original order with 2 RFC (released from card) instead of 2 MOC.
Does anybody know how long Series 2 will be available for preorder. I still want these, but still couldn’t get myself to ordering these. Chella has definitely lost alot of credit. They never came back to me for my FITE Shernoff that I have never received, they don’t take care of the Adam Bomb issue. I will be way more selective now and stop ordering anything to just support them.
