Me too and not just for Thundercats. :biggrin
Pricing looks to be fixed now. $25 is showing in cart for the sub and monthly figures now. Someone over on He-man.org contacted DR about it and they corrected it. Anyone who subbed at the $30 price should contact DR to get it fixed.
So anyone who already subbed is going to have to contact DR to get the correct price? I would have thought they would have the decency to correct that on their own.
I’m just assuming that knowing DR’s track record its best to check with them.
From a post on he-man.org:
Dear xxxxxxx xxxxxxxx,
Thanks for the call and email this morning. We have corrected the
website to reflect the proper thundercats figure pricing. For people who’ve already placed
orders the fix is going to take a little bit longer but we will fix
their subscriptions too to reflect proper pricing. We will also make it
right with anyone who was over charged subscription fees. We are
working on solutions to that part of it yet and may be a few more days.
Thanks again and have a great weekend!
Sincerely,
Andy P.

Thanks for this update. Sounds like I should keep an eye on my charge but hopefully it will all be taken care of. In the end this should all be good news!
According to this, it was never intended to be $30 a fig.
"We wanted to give you an update about the new ThunderCats subscription. We’ve discovered there was an error in the intended pricing, and we’ve corrected it now. If you go to Thundercats Subscription Options, you’ll see that the prices have been updated to $25 per figure in the sub, plus a $25 membership fee, for a total price of $125 (excluding tax, shipping, and handling). Additionally, the ThunderCats figures will be $30, not $35, during All Access.
For everyone who’s already purchased a sub at the higher membership price, you’ll get a $5 refund soon! (The incorrect $30 membership fee less the $5 refund = $25, the correct membership fee.) We’re also updating our systems to make sure that, come September, you’ll be charged the correct price for the individual figures.
Please accept our deepest apologies for the error, and thank you again for supporting this new subscription!"

That’s good to know, but can’t believe they let the subscription go LIVE with such an error for more than couple of days.
But I am glad they are resolving this issue and making the needed statement.
par for DR. they fail at just about everything…
Only three weeks till Toy Fair! Can’t wait to see what the other figures look like, and hopefully the packaging as well!
Ya I am super psyched as well! Is it safe to assume that we will see all the figures featured in this first run?
Also very happy to hear that the pricing will be made right!
Really happy about the price drop, I just hope the fix it for people who’ve already subbed. A email to to people who’ve already subbed would be nice, but knowing Matty we’ll probably not get one, they’ll just fix it and not let anyone know

I think we will see all five, although only the first few might be full production samples - the later ones I would expect to at least be in physical prototype form, like the Lion-O and Jackalman we’ve already seen.
It’s nice to see something official. Thanks for sharing this!
I would be very pleased with that! As you stated earlier I am also very intrigued to see the packaging as I am planning on leaving them as is. I wonder if they will be s nod to the originals at all.
The various packaging designs they shared last year were certainly all very cool; nice big windows, good for displaying. It’ll be interesting to see if they’ve gone with any of them.

I like the designs of the first to packages the best.
I would still like the claw shield to be changed to be more metallic like the cartoon.

I would say I like the one in the top middle the best.
Yeah, I think that one would be easiest to ship without damage, and a lot more convenient to display, either on a shelf or hanging.

Seeing the packaging possibilities has me really wanting to do 2 subs instead of the 1 I’m signed up for now. It would be a stretch financially, especially if we get a full 2017 lineup that I’d want to double up on as well. Hmm. It’s ThunderCats… when is the next time we’ll get a chance to get new toys? It could be a long time. I’m in for 2!
