I thought it was 
going to be put up on the store front...

I kept pressing F5...

Nothing...

I
 checked Capcom-Unity for anything, then found the link... And ordered EIGHT MINUTES 
after THREE O'CLOCK.

This whole situation was handled VERY poorly. I wouldn't have 
created those Robot
Masters if you Admins weren't handing out redemption 
codes. 



But the fact of the matter is, you people were indeed handing out free cuts. I wouldn't
have made any more Robot Masters if an admin had simply told
 me "Look, you're not getting a code, stop trying". 

But I was told NOTHING, even when I private messaged you administrators to look at my 
threads and consider my faithfulness to all things Mega Man, I got NO REPLY.

While I can agree I would question some of the people that got "front of the line" codes, the fact of the matter is no one forced you to do anything. You chose to do that on your own. If you want to whine about it, go ahead and do it. Just know it really won't solve anything at this point. Also, if you're expecting an apology from an admin, I think you're wasting your time.

We should all be thankful for the opportunity, most major games and movies make these kits to promote them and they usually consist of way awesome stuff.

I can recall the one from the recent Transformers movie; it contained all kinds of swag including a then unreleased 40 dollar Megatron figure; all inside a big ol’ AllSpark cube box. All of this for a Transformers fan is utterly desirable and easily worth 60 dollars or maybe more, but nigh, only the press people ever got to own one.

So let’s all be thankful for the chance to own one of these elusive press kits, because they aren’t always available to the general public.

I’m afraid that really can’t be helped. There is no perfect system.

Tapping into my Transformers experience (AGAIN!), scalpers are a big problem for collectors. These people actually walk into wal-mart and target stores and buy whole boxes full of shortpacked figures that are usually the hottest sellers and/or big collection pieces.

The worst part is we get to see these people sell these items for almost double their original price.

I HAVE FURY.

But anyways, the scalper problem can’t be permanently solved, and it’s something we’ll just have to live with.

But you can be sure I’ll be doing an Irish jig myself if they somehow find a way to better control this, and I really hope they do.

On second thought, I think a Mexican hat dance would be more appropriate.

Emmanuel: I have to disagree. The look on everyone's face when they saw this Mexi-rican do an irish jig was priceless. I am now charging for lessons that while transpire on the second Thursday of every month. Lol.
