I would guess Wednesday or Thursday of this week.

[Edit] The site says weekly releases are updated every Wednesday, so you should be able to order next week's releases this Wednesday.


Thanks! I’ll keep an eye out. They open at 8 AM EST so I’m guessing if they go up, it will probably be around that time? (Which is 5 AM PST... :-k )


I'm pretty sure the web orders are done through a warehouse and not any of the stores, so I'm not exactly sure the store hours are relevant. I would personally be on from midnight refreshing the item page. lol

And in case you don't already have it bookmarked. Here you go: http://www.midtowncomics.com/store/dp.a ... +A_1508905

I would also create a profile to expedite the checkout process. Who knows how many they'll have or how fast they'll go.

Received mine from Hastings today (was luckily able to order when they were $14.99). Despite being shipped in a box with some packing, Steve's box was dented nicely on one corner. Still thankful to have them though.

I'm curious, did anyone order from Hastings after the price increase? And if so, have you gotten a shipping notice?

I was wondering that as well. Mine have shipped and should be here this week. I got mine right away at 15 a piece but I was wondering if some people who ordered at 15 Got cancelled and then sold for a higher price.

I only made the PC order as a back up, because I predicted rotten luck with Hastings. I have no need for two, and if I can be a part of all of the helpfulness and generosity that goes on around here, I'd be happy to.

I just spoke with an agent at midtown comics and they said that they were not getting the FCBD dorbz. Did anyone else get confirmation that they were still getting these?

The listing is still on the site, perhaps they meant they won't have them in-store? We'll know for sure tomorrow.

Doubt it. Midtown has had that sales link since late March. Every week on Wednesday morning the date shifts to the next Wednesday.

I checked a few local shops that were charged but never received the product. They have yet to get a refund or here anything about a refund from Diamond. They said they would call if any ever show up. So keep checking your local stores just in case.
I actually don't want these so I will be picking them up for other Funatics that may not be able to get them...if they ever come in that is.

I'm not sure if anyone who actually wanted them got them... haha. I waited for a little over 4 hours and then 10 minutes to opening I was told that the price had been increased from 30 for the set to 60. I passed because I was extremely annoyed and I never wanted to pay that kind of money for these dorbz. I'd still like to get the pair, but I'm willing to wait a little while to see if the price goes back down to something I can afford.

So happy. Was able to get a pair today from my local comic shop. There were delays in shipping, so they only received them yesterday.

I'm awaiting my shipment from Hastings. I was fortunate enough to snag them when they were $14.99 each (which was bad as it was but still better than when it went up to $35). They are on their way. I'm grateful to have gotten a shipping notice.

midtown has been pushing these back forever. I was watching the page long before FCBD and every week, the date just kept getting pushed back and pushed back and pushed back. So I gave up on them.

Ditto! I finally called them up and asked and they said it was canceled. I hadn't received a notice and my card was charged. Oh well! I did ask them how it was that they ran out of stock to fulfill my order and yet they had more up later for $35. The lady told me they have pricing changes all the time. I didn't really answer my question but I didn't feel the need to continue the conversation.

I hope a lot of folks can get their hands on these for a good price!

I only ordered the Steve Rogers dorbz because I prefer the MCC Tony Dorbz I already have better. My order's total was $19.75. I did see on Popcultcha's Facebook page that they're trying to get more in stock so hopefully keep checking there...

So, as a heads up, PC says:

I'm afraid that the stock we had in our warehouse has hold out, as tonnes of people jumped onto our website at the same time to buy these.

They were not all sold to one person trying to "buy out" all of our stock, and we are in the process right now of trying to secure more of these from our supplier to put them back up on our website for you to buy.

Please keep an eye out on the site for more updates.

Kind regards,
Adam @ Popcultcha HQ


I guess I got lucky and bought my set as soon as it went up, because I got my shipping notice yesterday.
