Check it out! Another of the highly anticipated colorways of the new Joe Ledbetter Smash! figure has been announced for release as a shared exclusive, the US portion of which is being sold through Urban Collector.
There will be 50 sold today(April 4th, 2008) at 10pm EST, and then 50 sold tomorrow (April 5th, 2008) at 12 Noon EST. Expect server problems as usual for any Ledbetter limited release. Note that this is for PRE-ORDER.’
Here is a quote from Urban Collector, taken from the Kidrobot Message Boards:
Below are our pre-order releases / times. I took some of the suggestions on this board and came out with a strategy that should work for most.
Friday, April 4th at 10pm ET – 50 Ice available for pre-order.
Saturday, April 5th at Noon ET – 50 Ice available for pre-order
Remaining Allocations: Friday, April 18th at 10pm ET (note: Ice Smash was scheduled to be revealed near the start of NYCC. As such, we need to keep quantities available for the start of NYCC – where Ice will proudly be on display. Urban Collector allocations will only be sold through our website, not at NYCC.).
Conditions for Pre-Orders:
1) Limited to 1 per customer (through April 24th). Multiple purchases from the same customer, credit card or address during this time will be cancelled and future orders will not be allowed until April 25th.
2) As we are the North American exclusive retailer, we will only be accepting orders from customers in North America (through April 24th). Purchases made with International (non-North American) Credit Cards, International Paypal address and/or International Ship To addresses will be cancelled.
Once again, thank you for your patronage. Our hope is that the above policies give most collectors an opportunity to attain this piece while still maintaining our obligations as a North American exclusive retailer with commitments to have quantities available on our site during NYCC.
I will at the NYCC and will try to update as to when the figure is released (although if you aren’t at the convention by that point, it’s unlikely to be useful information :).

For those of you who are curious, here is the collection (I’m betting the Mystery fig that looks like the other toast is a “Burnt Toast” variant…. check out the Burnt Toast Plush available on Heidi’s Site). Image Found on Pink Ghost (who will be dropping the figs at Midnight of the release date).
