thanks for the heads up. I'll probably wait until the next two pins go up so I can save on shipping.

They've increased the shipping cost the last couple of months too.

That's for the pin update too.

The PAX pins haven't even sold out. I guess the demand wasn't as high as expected or a lot of people got one at PAX?

Firecat and Orchid pins are now up.

Anyone know how many we have left that are still coming?

I'm kinda pissed the email codes haven't gone out yet
I'm waiting on that so I can order Orchid and Sadira at the same time as my Fire Cat pin (which should be free from the challenge).

have we got a new challenge yet either?

We should have 4 more pins, 2 challenges and 2 characters (Spinal and Fulgore)

the pin challenges were supposed to end in June, it's looking like we're going to be 3 months behind by the end of it.

EDIT:
supposedly the next challenge pin will be Spinal's Shield...

This is just a complete guess but I would think the final challenge pin should be an "Ultra Combo" pin... if there isn't an ultra combo pin then I will be severely disappointed.

Not sure on the challenges, I've lost track a little bit on those. My history of struggling with them is well documented, guess I just threw in the towel last month. They also aren't very good at communicating them.

This has been the most poorly run thing ever...

it had so much potential but it ended up just being a huge source of frustration.

[twistedsymphony]

just got the email code for the fire-cat pin...

with that I placed my order for sadira, orchid and the fire-cat pins...

they also confirmed that the next 2 pins will be spinal and spinal's shield.

EDIT:

Soooo... apparently the June Pin Challenge is already over. It was the "Come At Me Bro" In-Game Challenge for performing 50 combo breakers and it ended on July 7th: http://forums.xbox.com/xbox_forums/x...t/1776879.aspx

The only place it was mentioned was on the official Xbox forums... no twitter announcement, no in-game announcement (that I saw), no post on the Penny-Arcade KI Pin thread, no notification sent to KI-Central

Thankfully I try to complete all the in-game challenges anyway but anyone who doesn't just got royally screwed

so yeah... that was for Spinal's shield.... only 1 challenge left now.
