Would really like to pick up one of the companions, how do you guys know when and where these are going online? Are any other future releases planned?

If anyone UK based bought extra to sell please inbox me, I will pay a small surplus or plenty of art to trade.

Cheers

Up again:

store.moma.org/mobile/product/nextopiaSearch.form?q=kaws

Or not? Now the link is going to "Not Available"

[soupy]

don't appear to be.  glitch in the matrix.

those results only seem to be with the mobile address... and they show as no longer available.  the main store pages don't show any results for KAWS.

I'm too old to be getting this upset about a toy release. I just a want a regular brown companion. that's not too much to ask for. just restock that one for me.

[BKBOI]

For people who bought backordered items and are still in processing status:

Unfortunately our KAWS items sold out unexpectedly. We are expecting a new shipment from our vendors by the beginning of December.
When we receive our KAWS items we will start shipping them according to the orders we've received.

[yoyosh]

I recieved shipping confirmation today

[CREAM]

Fast service my order from yesterday already arrived!

They really should just produce 50,000 of each and then everyone gets one.

[The Rat King]

back orders will not be charged until they have them ready to send out as I was about to cancel but have kept it in place as they advised that they won't be getting anymore after this ...
on another note perrotin will restock online tomorrow

They most probably have and a lot more. But when flippers are buying large amounts and selling at double the price the hype keeps going. Once the demand drops, these should be easy to pick up. (Unless they turn out to really limited open edition and don't ever appear again).

[chads007]

Takes the piss. Ordered 2 companions when they showed IN STOCK yesterday when the message went up straight away, called them and apparently they were sold out at that point, despite a few of you placing orders when they showed as back orders and having it processed? Strange. Order has been left open so no doubt it will be fulfilled in December.

Havent heard anything from my backordered one so I guess I'm shit out of luck? Or do you expect them to actually get back to me in december?

[Sturban Has Saggy Tits]

C'mon you lot!
Hatchimals is where it's at. They don't just sit there like these BFF's.
You can teach them to sing, talk and dance. More stock apparently on the way in Argos and Toys R Us, gotta be quick though with your F5 fingers.
Grab em while they're hot and don't let your kids get their dirty paws on em

[ca]

weird... half of the order (i ordered 2) was pre-authorized on my card yesterday and the other half just popped up today.. no email yet. I did order 30-40min after the first post here but was indicated as backorder

[Billy Sport]

I have been charged for 6 single memberships and zero figures.. Paypal are saying there is no issue, and MOMA saying they haven't charged me 6 times... and zero figures ... at least I entered the $40 givethanks code.. givethanks for screwing me over !!!

Heard they will get restocked in Feb, but who knows.

Yup or just take orders for several days. Figure out how many of each you need made and send order to manufacturer. It's not difficult. This whole thing was handled like crap - probably for the sake of drumming up more press/hype.

Well that's how it goes, right?  it's all about exclusivity which increases demand and generates hype.  If these things could be purchased at your local mall, the demand would drop considerably along with the hype.  A lot are buying these things as an investment.  KAWS would alienate a lot of people if he produced that many.  Not good for business. 

[Lord Lucas Roham]

Agreed, if you could but these in Walmart or Tesco then it just becomes another mass production, Chinese toy.

The whole reason we pay £200 is exclusivity.

[chads007]

Is an open edition than exclusive? I always thought £200 for an open edition was very high when 10,000 or more may be made.... when other limited toys like classic resting place, passing through etc are not huge amounts

That's fine and have no problem with that. Don't say it's going to be an open edition then. Drops hit randomly at various places and the only people who get 1st shot are the bots/resellers. Makes no sense.

He could've done this on the Kaws site. Just like the Faile dog timed print.

[smokinfish]

I ordered one of each and a membership. My paypal is showing two membership that are pending. One yesterday and one today.

Order page says membership has shipped, figures are processing.

[schmidt]

I've got some weird shit going on too.... Charged me for 2 or 4 figures yesterday (as only 2 showed in stock). Then today they charged me a second time about an hour ago for full price of 4 figures.... So bank account hit for price of 6...

I'll wait until after the holidays to deal with it... Worst case I'll trade the extra 2 or sell at face.

[El Pulpo]

I ordered 4 Backordered items and have been charged for 2 of them. No idea wich one. Got no news, no email neither and status on moma stay as "in progress" since the beginning..

[natstan]

"Currently both of your orders are back ordered. Due to the overwhelming response to the KAWS items they went into back order pretty quickly. At this time, I do not have an exact date of when the back orders are going to be fulfilled but it might not be until sometime in the spring."

Guys, tell me I ain't wrong in thinking I actually 'pre-ordered' the figures, one of the orders only containing the BFF. So I'm assured I'll be getting my hands on those figures finally afterall once they, quite confirmed, get new stock?😁

I put in a couple of different orders so I could use the $40 off code for each individual order.


Every in stock AND back order item has now shipped barr the BFF'S.

I would think all companions back orders will be honoured but the BFF's will not.

I haven't received an email like you did, although I have twice got an email saying they're still holing my cart and I can checkout (which I couldn't!). One email was for a BFF btw which makes no sense as I've completed the payment via back order, albeit they haven't taken the payment for it yet...

I emailed directly so got this reply. Yeah, to be frank, I''m not hopeful on the bff too.
