I really wish they had given a heads-up on the order page!

That's not how it worked. They sold through their available stock, and when it ran out they changed the page to a clearly labelled preorder for March, so they could print the rest to-order. The entire first print-run of the Hellfire Club sold out on day zero to Premium members. If you ordered before they ran out, you got them back in September/October. If not, you're waiting until the next print-run. I know this because I placed a variety of orders that weekend, and I watched all the items slowly switch over to preorders as they began to sell through. I got all the items that I had pounced on, that had been listed as in-stock, in about a week, over a period of a few days. I'm still waiting for most of the stuff I waited and thought about, all of which was listed as preorders by the time I ordered it. I even placed an order that contained both a preorder and an in-stock item, and they split the order, so that I got the in-stock item quickly and am still waiting for the preorder. I know people are bummed they had to wait, but this is the first year they've even entertained the idea of a second run of SDCC promos, and sending a product back to print takes about six months. If you're waiting on a Hellfire Club, you actually just missed them, and are only getting anything at all because Hasbro saw money sitting on the table and decided to print one for you. I'm not sure why people are so salty about that.
