I used to be able to stomach it on large orders but something's not right about it lately. Seems like it gets based on the cost of the item and not the actual size or weight. That's not how that works!Randomento wrote:If it wasn’t for the baffling shipping costs in robot kingdom I would’ve bought Greatshot on day one.

It also seemed like that time limit was like a day after (like I think literally the day after) they hit the "to make mark" on Grand. With the way it went down, it felt like it was more a con job then anything else with getting the pretender shell.

Not that I'm one of those people that always has to correct everybody but the 2000 preorder mark was to make Grand and there was a goal of 3000 that had to be reached for the pretender shell to be included. It only hit the first goal, so at least it got produced.

In fact, if I am recalling correctly, they called it even before the initial date hit, and they basically ended it as soon as they hit the 2000 mark giving once more the appearance that the pretender shell was just a scam to get the initial run orders.

Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.

You aren't.
The shell was announced from the very beginning as a stretch goal with a proper end date (listed on the store).
What made it seem like the next day is that it took that long for sites to properly report it as such, most (including Seibertron) thought the first 3000 came with the shell not that 3000 orders were needed for the shell to happen thanks to the language barrier. By the time everyone caught on and properly informed the campaign was nearly over.

No kidding, they're usually extremely slow. I only just got my payment request from AmiAmi a few minutes ago.
