    When I get enough money on-hand, I am going to buy the hell out of that sonic 6 pack. I must have a tiny, classic Metal.

    Looking at your location, I just thought I'd say you can buy all the mini figures individually at GAME. I don't know if they do the six pack though.

    Anyone know when the Super Sonic model is shipping? After thinking it was shipping in January, they took payment on the 2nd of February and my order is in 'Approved' and has been paid. Just curious is all.

    My Super Sonic order is approved as well. I guess it's just a matter of days now.

    I actually emailed First4Figures a few days ago to ask when I'd recieve my Super Sonic, and got this reply:

    Next week, then.

    Mine was just shipped today (got the email a little over an hour ago). I can't see where it is yet, but if they're passing through Cambridge I think it's safe to hope it gets here by Friday. Cambridge is right close by to me.

    Question Nineko, what's the senders reference on yours? Cause mine is "SUPERSONIC EXC - 49". I'm just curious about what that number is.

    Mine is REG 22 (you probably ordered the EXClusive version that lights up, I ordered the REGular one). I expect it to be the serial number of the statue, since I got #22 the first time and I authenticated it (and I explicitly requested to send me #22 again so I can collect them all and put the complete series on eBay eventually, since it's a quite low number.

    Ah excellent. That's what I wanted to check. And yeah, I did order the exclusive model. It's annoying because for the Sonic statue I only got #0649 and there isn't even that number of exclusive Supers, but on the upside it's a low number and still #*49.

    I got the email a few hours ago too. Quite excited.

    I've got the problem where I ordered the exclusive and my original Sonic is a number way out of the range of the light-up Super's. In the grand scheme of things though, that's certainly on the lower end of the problems my life has =P

    Soo...did anyone else already order the Metal Sonic they announced? I gave in and went for the exclusive again...I'm such a tool.

    I ordered the Metal Sonic as soon as I could (even though I'm not a fan of Metal Sonic, I would have preferred Tails or Knuckles to be honest), but all the orders from Europe are currently on hold because First4Figures' license expired and they were having issues renewing it. I don't know if as of now those issues were resolved.

    edit: old thread about Metal Sonic and the aforementioned issues.

    F4F said they were going to tell us whether or not they would be able to sell outside of North America bacck in mid-January. We're still waiting for an answer. Reardless, I put an order for the exclusive Metal Sonic in straight away.

    I got an email today with a tracking number, so I imagine it will be about two days before I receive it. Can't wait!

    Nope. The light-up or "exclusive figures" are only sold direct from F4F.

    EDIT: BTW, mine just arrived.
    EDIT 2: Pics:

    As you can see, the box is HUGE compared to the regular one.

    Up close.

    With the rest of the shelves. Super Sonic is taller and slightly larger in scale than Sonic (compare the hands), but the difference isn't massive. The only thing that kind of bugs me is how dark red Super's shoes are.

    Mine just arrived this morning as well :D It's awesome and I absolutely love it! It's really arrived at a bad time though - I've just moved into my own house so I literally have no where to put it (until Saturday when my display cabinet arrives), it's just sat on the living room floor among tins of paint and boxes full of my stuff at the minute.
