Well here is your chance. Thanks! I totally would have missed this. You are quite welcome. I would highly recommend getting them all. I personally got a set to open, and 3 (Brody, Hansen, and Von Erich) to keep in package.

Cost of Verne Gagne Figure Wave 1 Pre-Order - $67.00 Shipping to Australia - $116.00 Total AUD - $183.00
The drive to support these companies is there. The financial logistics behind doing so is certainly not considering that is for a SINGLE figure....

I'm a bit confused by the re-run announcement and new preorder window.
I pre-ordered mine back in September, so will I and everyone else in this boat receive fixed figures or will there be more chance we receive botched ones?

I can literally have a box of figures shipped express for nearly half that from a friend walking into a post office. This is just a company skimming from the post cost to mark up the already premium priced figures. Patiently waits for someone to come in and tell me goes it’s a little company and they don’t have shipping deals….

I was under the impression they were scrapping the initial run, so no defective figures were being sold. The email notifying us said this: “With a decision of this magnitude, it will impact our timeline for delivering pre-orders to our customers. While we have an ample amount of goods already in transit, we will not be fulfilling orders with this product, as we will not compromise the quality and consistency of our figures.”

Honestly I don't think that's been given nearly enough credit here - they just ate a ton of costs between production and shipping if they were already on the water. I'm perfectly content to wait if the second run corrects any the leg issue. If you're going to re-run the batch, might as well open the ordering window again and try to recoup some of your losses.

They are claiming its still $116.00 to ship to Australia, so to buy the whole bundle, and the shipping costs - would set me back $513.00 Interestingly, when I was already a sucker and bought the Brody/Hansen from them, the figures were $72.00 each, and are now $67.00?

I just checked my order... $259 US for all 6 shipped. You guys need a distributor over there somehow.

Got an Email yesterday from PowerTown. To All Our PowerTown Supporters - Thank You from the entire PowerTown team for your purchase of Ultras Series 1. Whether purchased during our September opening, our December 12 Days of PowerTown, or our recent February pre-order window, we can assure you that you will be receiving what we consider to be the most authentic wrestling figures available. The necessary modifications to Series 1 that allowed us to reopen pre-orders for this final time have been completed in China and we expect production to commence early next week. We anticipate receipt of goods in our fulfillment center in April, and the plan to insure expeditious delivery of your orders is already in place. Finally, we realize everyone’s eagerness to get our figures in hand, suffice to say, all good things come to those who wait and we can assure you, it will be worth the wait! Our sincere thanks again! Steve Rosenthal Managing Partner steve.powertown on Instagram Based on that, I really an optimistic about having these in hands in the next couple of months. Now if only we can hear about Series 2.....

I wish they would just sell the messed up ones at a discounted rate...Then perhaps I could afford to buy a few.

This might be the Zombie Sailor in me here, but I'm shocked we haven't heard any further commentary or announcements regarding Series 2 of this, even amongst all the talk of the figures needing reworking etc. I would have sworn that amongst going into damage control, they would have said, "never mind that, here's what we've got coming up next"....
For the record, I'm a fan of both PowerTown and ZST and want both to do well. Just surprised at the radio silence on anything related to S2, other than some renders of Cardona/Myers (why, seriously why?!?!)

I searched Powertown on YouTube and found a video posted within the last 10ish days that had Gagne talking about wave two and three no thing concrete but he was talking about his selection process.
