exclusive Shuttle Tyderium, California FAO info.

[swcollector]

I just got off the phone with an FAO in California and was able to pre order 2 of the exclusive Shuttle Tyderiums. Heres what is required to do so:

Name
address
phone number
credit card.

your credit card will not be charged until the product comes in. The lady taking the orders also confirmed that they are limited to 5,000 pieces and told me that I might only be able to buy 1 instead of the 2 that I wanted, because of the very limited numbers. which is fine with me. 1 is better than none. Hope this helps.

Well even if it is true about the shuttle and they're not just all mixed up with several things, even if I am able to afford it, I will definitely NOT be supporting this until either more are made and/or the price drops to a realistic price.

Hey LTB, I'll wait along with you and others till these come down in price. $125.00 COME ON HASBLOW GET WITH THE PROGRAM!!! It is a cool looking ship but for that price you can keep it!!!!!!!

they shouldn;'t be selling those things to people more than 1 at a time.

[swcollector]

Why not sell more than 1 to a person at a time? What if you have 2 kids that want one? or your picking one up for a buddy that does not live by FAO?

what hasbro should do here is set up some kind of pre-order/payment option with FAO schwartz so that every fan who wants one is able to buy them before they are even manufactured. if the guaranteed buyer list goes over 5000 pieces, keep cranking them out until the demand subsides. but this way, hasbro would be producing a high demand item that the fan has already paid for and FAO wouldn't be stuck with shelfwarmers like the famba. everyone would be happy. and they could drop the price about $30.

Sure I could get one. I got money. But I'm not exactly a fool with my money (well.... maybe) so I will do without on this extremely crappy exclusive.

- They can share.

- Great idea!

I guess I'm a fool with my money then.
You all raise good points about the shuttle. I ordered one because I didn't have the vintage version. I was also "suckered" by FAO into buying the Fambaa, but I won't regret having ordered the Tyderium.

I also agree that with something so "limited" and *expensive*, FAO should allow only 1 pre-order per customer. If you're in the U.S. and don't live near one of their stores, well that's why they offer DELIVERY.

the reserve is store specific as well, so ifyou wanted 2 you could call Orlando and Las Vegas. I pre-sold mine in Orlando nad the 125.00 is reasonable because the size and it being limited will drive the price up later as well. Plus as someone esle said it will also go well with all my other Shuttle items from the glory years. 125.00 is not that much money when you think about it...save you allowances up guys if you don't work for a living.
