We’ve heard you, #BTTF fans. On 11/3 at 9:00 am EST, we'll take orders for another limited run of #PepsiPerfect on http://shop.pepsi.com .
UK got the Mexico ones too?Hopefully it will be the ones with a flip up lid. Like the ones given away in UK Today
For those who ordered from Walmart, yours may have shipped. I logged into my account just now and there's a FedEx tracking number. It says it's on the way (though I chose expedited shipping, so this may depend on the shipping speed chosen)
There are thousands of other companies, much smaller companies than PepsiCo for that matter, that deal with limited releases on a regular basis (think Mondo for example). The problem doesn't lie with the fact that everyone wasn't able to get one (because that goes without saying) but more with the terrible experience and customer service they offered to those trying to get one. And that old saying is bull****. It's a PR disaster for them and they're lucky it happened on a relatively smaller scale (the backlash is mainly coming from collectors and movie enthusiasts) but it's bad for them, any way you cut it.
This is just speculation on my part, but if Pepsi takes enough heat for this, I would imagine they'd manufacture more as a mea culpa. For one, it seems like a no brainer to sell $20 bottles of soda when the cost of producing them has GOT to be much lower than that. Plus, by now, they've already swallowed the development cost of the packaging. All they have to do is throw it back into production. I would guess that the second edition wouldn't have some of the trinkets the first edition had, such as the time circuit box (you still have to make the first group feel like they got something truly limited in scope), but I think a majority of the people outraged about this would be happy just to have the soda and nothing else.
No publicity is bad publicity, and if Pepsi winds up selling a lot more of these -- and there's clearly a demand for it -- that's just more money in their pocket. That just makes good business sense.

Well there is a restock what do you know and the same thing will happen only worse now that we know the time
Comparing mondo to Pepsi is ridiculous. There scope and scale are not similar. It's not bad for Pepsi at all. This won't effect there sales in the slightest and gives them and ultra rare collectible. All it does is make a few collectors that weren't able to get one salty. They'll complain for a few days and be done.
