four days later and this is still happening for me.

You would think something like this would be caught pretty quickly. Like wouldn’t the sales reports they generate show that preorder comic sales have been $0 since Friday? There is likely a whole batch of comics that have now passed by the final order cutoff date.

I emailed them a couple of hours ago, got this back just now.. not very helpful, but as least they claim they are doing something.

We are aware of the current situation with the site and working to get everything restored as quickly as possible.

We appreciate your patience.

still not fixed, yet they are still sending out marketing emails

They did post an update though…

Attention Collectors,

We are aware that pre-order comics are currently not available in the Collect Forever™ store and we are working hard to add the pre-order comics back to the store as soon as possible.

We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience. We will continue to provide updates as they become available.

Thank you,

The Collect Forever™ and Upper Deck e-Pack® Team

You have to wonder if it is a technical issue that knocked out the preorders or maybe something deeper like they owe money to their preorder vendor or something. Regardless, a week without any preorder sales is like they are operating on a shoestring as I doubt they sell enough Funkos to keep the lights on.

Looks like many of the preorder comics are back.

I find it interesting that the Batman Bill Sienkiewicz series of 6 has stalled with the last one, #163 supposedly delayed until January months ago. I wonder if it's that they have only sold approx. 326 copies each of the first 5 (quick marketplace check).
They are always at the front of my feed for sale, I'm not sure if everyone's algorithm is the same. I'm waiting for #163 so I can trade in my 2 copies of each for the random virgin foil variation.
Just wondering,
Vinny

Yeah… DC is showning 163 delayed until March. It’s crazy that the the new Matt Fraction Batman reboot is now already months into its run and we are still waiting for the last Batman series to wrap up with issue 163. It looks like the storyline wasn’t too well received either.

I do love most of the Sienkiewicz covers though and like you I am anxious to wrap up my achievements. I did 6. I am hoping if I redeem all 6 at one time, the algorithm gives me one of each foil.

Here’s a weird one. It was solicited (and marked on label) as a wraparound cover, but then…

It would have been perfect to display the two characters on opposite sides of the comic. I guess someone clicked the wrong button somewhere in the production process. Oh well…

Just wondering, Vinny __________________ I admit, I like collectibles for the action. Buying, selling, prospecting, gambling, etc., are parts of the fun. I will say that being older than many here I just can’t justify sticker autos. Give me a nice on-card auto and I feel that little connection to the signer.
