I really don't mean this negatively, but why are people acting like orders being shipped out in random order isn't the norm?

I just got a shipping notice for my set this morning. Label created, anyways.
FWIT, I was in the first round of preorders for a whole set.

I really don't mean this negatively, but why are people acting like orders being shipped out in random order isn't the norm? I honestly don't know how orders with other companies ship out. Figure wise, the only preorders I make online are with RSC and just very recently with another figure line through Clarktoys. RSC seems to have all the preorders ship within a day or two of each other (Preorder 1, Preorder 2, etc) so I really don't have a frame of reference outside of this. So my only real comparison is with RSC, and when a batch of figures come in, they usually get the batch of figures out within a week or so. Usually. I guess my thought is that these would have shipped in order received. First in, first out, Order #0001, Order #0002, Order#0003 and so forth. But that doesn't seem to be the case. My next thought is that maybe they are being sent in alphabetical order, by last name, which in my mind is the next most logical. For the record, my last name starts with SPR. I would think random would be about the last way they would do it, logically there should be some sort of order. And I personally didn't take that negatively. I am just overthinking this as I cannot wait to get these in hand to see how they fit with my collection - and signs all point to fitting in well. I think by the time Series 2, Series 3, and future Series ship out, then we will be in more of a pattern and know more of what to expect.

I'm still waiting for my Powertown figures, hopefully I'll get them soon. I watched a couple of reviews on YouTube, and these look great for the most part. Unfortunately, it looks like the scale is off a bit when compared to WWE/AEW figures, which is a little disappointing. Bruiser Brody seems to be the worst as far as scale goes, he appears to be much taller than WWE/AEW figures. I'm just happy to be getting these characters finally. What do you guys think of yours (if you received them)? How about the scale when compared to other lines?

Still no shipping notification, but I’m not sweating it yet. I have two orders. First is Stan & Brody, the second is Kerry and Magnum.
Been watching reviews of these and for the most part, I’m excited to get these in hand, mess around with some poses and put them on the shelf. I really wish they had peg holes, but I’ll just put them on a low shelf to avoid accidents. I also wish they didn’t all have neutral expressions, particularly Brody and Hansen. I know most people prefer a neutral face because a lot can go wrong with yelling heads, but those two would have benefited from having more animated faces.

I placed 2 orders. One for the whole set and then a week or so later I ordered another Kerry and Brody. I got a shipping label notification for the whole set but nothing yet for the 2nd order of just the 2 figures. The set took about a week to show they were accepted, but once they moved they were delivered in about 3 days. They were all packed in a big sturdy box and each figure was wrapped with some lining paper in between each figure. The box fit the set perfectly so they weren't loosely packed and moving around in shipment. Mine arrived in excellent shape and I am very satisfied. Can't wait for Kerry to start shipping out!

It's actually incredible what they've achieved. I didn't think they'd see the light of day but to not only deliver them but at this quality, is super impressive. I regret not preordering any but the international shipping was way too high and Wrestling Trader's prices were just the same.
I wish Cornette would dump FTC and sign with PowerTown. Midnight Express and Rock 'n' Roll Express sets would be awesome.

Nothing on my end yet. Broke down and sent a support question to see if I get any info on when they will ship, but based on above, not expecting anything useful.

I think by the time Series 2, Series 3, and future Series ship out, then we will be in more of a pattern and know more of what to expect. after about 3 seconds of thinking, if they have a print out type system for the orders...it might just be that they grab a stack of paper, start picking those orders, and other orders get added before getting to the bottom of the pile. it wouldn't make a lot of sense to do it that way, but could explain how the orders are getting sent out. i briefly worked in a book bindery years ago, and that's kiiinda similar to how we checked stuff in. sometimes pallets got pushed to the back for more recent shipments. but i can't imagine that's the norm at all i'm probably wayyy off, but thats the best guess i can think of without actually knowing their system

Maybe I'm naive (I guess I am), but I really didn't think there were 2K people out there willing to buy this product. Good for them

I ordered day one homie. That said, they could've started at a higher number or skipped numbers for all we know, right?

However, I only ordered 2 figures which makes me think they are shipping full sets first. I thought high spots was going to be distributing these for them so they could handle it better?!

The more videos and images I see of Brody the more I’m kinda regretting my purchase. He seems to be the worst looking one out of the set. Has anyone tried or gonna try to remove the scaring from his forehead?
