      Are you on a computer or your phone?

      I had heard people saying they had more success on a computer but I just tried signing in on my phone and it was easy, so I don’t know.

        Had the same issue. Use a different browser. Chrome is my primary browser but my security settings are too high to let it work. For orders with Topps I use Microsoft's built-in browser
        Looking for FTC figures from 5-10 years ago

          I had no problem using my phone, once I realized I had to make an account. Maybe close the page and reopen it to sign in?
          Hope you get it sorted by the weekend.

            Are you volunteering Andy? Personally there have been a few great friends in the US who have offered to help but who the hell wants to bug someone else every time you want a figure ordered? We’re Canada not Siberia.

              No one would blame you for moving.

                  Thanks to all, I ended up having my daughter make a Topps account and buying a Quark. So does anyone know if KOR will be offered anywhere or time in the future?

                    They say these figures will not be offered again or be released be Mego again. Supposedly it's a one and done situation.

                      I'm inclined to think they will show up again at some point. Shazam 2 doesn't come out to next year, and Black Adam's movie also.
                      No way Mego leaves that kind of tie in money on the the table. Maybe a two pack or dumped in the UK on new Cards, like we are seeing Chekov and Sulu.

                      Why shoot yourself in the foot if you can turn a profit. The SuperMan Batman and WonderWoman three pack was "exclusive" to WlaMart, but yet and still Meijers had them on the shelves as singles
                      3 months later.

                      If we want Mego to be around for a while, they have to be profitable. that means give the people what they want.
                      If the Topps figures have gold "Topps Limited Run xxx" stickers then they are exclusive, while later in Wave 15, the single releases don't is fine by me.

                        So it looks like they'll be no resolution to the Canadian shipping charges and this week is Ra'a Al Ghul and Green Arrow. Now it's just cruel. Why couldn't it be Natalie and Mrs Garrett from Facts of Life?

                          Have they given any indication of how long this deal is supposed to last? Surely not indefinitely.

                            They said indefinitely at least for a year I believe. Obviously everything is dependent on sales though.

                              Worf and Borg Queen this week, I hope I can afford them all when my friend wants to charge me.

                                I feel your pain. For myself I was a bit 'miffed' with Taylor & Kor (can't justify US$80 each for these) but Worf is the cruel one. I mean what good is Picard, Data, Riker & (next wave) LaForge without Worf? So I guess I'll bent over on the outrageous shipping on him, but at the very least Topps could buy me dinner first lol

                                But I've come up with a solution. My next regular purchases were going to be LaForge, Soldier Ape, and 55th Spock & Kirk. Well Spock & Kirk are out, to cover the outrageous shipping on Worf. Was also thinking about 14" Kirk but I'll save that money for use on a future 'absolutely must have Topps special'. And it will have to be an absolutely must have.

                                Hell I'd have also bought Zira & TMP Spock too if not for Topps shipping

                                Huh, Mego is missing out on a few sales from this Canadian. Oh well...
