what were the required figures again to be eligible? its been so long I've forgotten.

Ronin TK sun
Irimi Natsu/Fuyu
Archer/Death Archer
Ninja TQ

why shipping for TQ are $30, but Ms.Shadow only $20...?

Depends on location, I've noticed.
Malaysia US$20, Europe US$30 (I thought)

Shipping isn't flat fee, it seems.

I got the email too but not sure how we pay the shipping? Do we email them our address and phone number and qty of TQ (my case 1 as I only ever bought 1 of ea) and then Paypal the shipping?

If same as the MOOK, respond with qty and your address + tel, they will follow up with paypal instructions later on.

Oh, perfect. Thanks.

Shipping quote for me was $20 in the U.S.

yeah, I don't understand, I live in Indonesia, neighborhooud of malaysia and singapore, but charged $30...

anyway, I will still pay haha

more important, for member who eligible to buy more than one TQ classic (I'm eligible to buy 2), can CS make sure that we won't get the same exact hair-colour? it will be better if I can get 2 different tshirt also.

and speaking of exclusive buying, when can we expect 3ago square to be offered for wonka square buyer?

Can we all agree that although these Klubs seemed cool at the time, in reality they're a bit of a hassle on both the consumer's and the company's end?  On the consumer's end, I think we all forgot that what we enjoyed as kids with these "special offer figures" is that you could collect any figures of your choosing and just send in proof of purchases in order to get that special offer figure.  In other words, you didn't have to buy specific figures in order to get that special figure.  And so you wouldn't be stuck with any figures that you didn't want or care for.  Thus making the collecting much more enjoyable.  I think this type of offer would have benefited 3A much more in that you could potentially get more folks to collect 3A if 1. They are able to buy the figures that they do want and 2. You could offer different special figures to send in for.  Anyway, just my thoughts.  Not trying to be a Debbie Douchebag.

I guess it depends on how the figure sets sell though.
The TKlub line decided that at the first 5 you can get the Mook and last 4 can get the TQ but if you start to mix and match different lines, say 1/12th or specific Licenses (TF's, Marvel, DC etc) than the value of the freebie needs to reflect everything versus already fitting in to the cost of the TKlub costs.
If you look at past toy companies like Hasbro, the pop for the freebie was based off the same line so if you bought 7 of the Star Wars Saga Legacy figs, you get a similar figure free. That's doable from a marketing perspective as well as a cost perspective, because it's essentially being paid for from the sales of the same line of figures. Same thing needs to happen here. 3A needs to benefit from giving away a free figure through sales of similar items. Buying 3 1/6th and 2 1/12th should not be the same value for a free 1/6th figure. Nor should buying a 430.00 TF be the same as buying 4 1/6th etc.
We may pay shipping, but the figure still costs 3A money to produce and they need the sales to deem the value of the freebie to not go over their budget.
Having a pop for random, different scale and sometimes fairly more expensive figures at the same value to earn towards a freebie doesn't work unless you do what maybe Sideshow Collectibles does with their Rewards points. For every 1.00 spent is 20pts. Maybe a system like that.

It was time to fulfill his promises 3A

PEPPERMINT GROVE FOLLOW-UP

Follow-up on this post by Ashley Wood.

If you will purchase AK Peppermint Grove (Soy version doesn’t count and that’s a regular TKLUB / AKLUB rule with surprise versions), you will be able to purchase a new Mortis Severed Head in 2014!

I feel they should have evened out the shipping cost over all the customers, it's not fair people who happen to live further have to pay more, that policy was never applied on any past 3A sales, why now? it stinks!

Well a free 180.00 figure, it kinda makes sense to charge shipping accordingly. I got 25.00 USD for Canada
So about 35.00 cad with exchange from a 180.00USD figure. That's not bad all things considered but understandable that they need to charge based on their costs from the TKlub sales and the freebie.
There is no point in offering a free figure if they lose a lot of money.

Sure it makes sense to charge a shipping fee, but just make it the same for everyone, ok asia might have to pay more than normal, but we all paid the same for TKlub, So we should pay all the same shipping fee, just take an average, I'm sure you could do the math in a flash, meh

Shipping for each though? I want two!
So they going to give a confirmation so we know it's all good? I replied, but hate having no idea if they are all good with it. It'd suck come 9 months later when it's ready I don't get anything.

If you got an email I would be surprised if CS won't get back to you with a nice invoice so you know how many you get and what you have to pay for shipping.

Invoicing before the deadline? I'm screwed if I have to pay before March, fuck!

Reply to CS email and they will reply letting you know they will contact you later with payment details.

Thanks Wolf, doing it now.
Finally, my 500th post on the new board. So long Tomorrow King.

Yeah, I always reply with the original email just to remind us/them what has transpired so far.

They sent me confirmation that they got my response for TQ freebie, so I should get an invoice from them sometime soon.

Same here. Got a reply from CS just waiting on the payment info now.

Completely forgot about this too so it was an unexpected surprise.
