Agree to disagree 😂 You can say whatever you want but I’m done with this topic. Collectors cried about how it was fake fomo and they should NOT preorder it because it was a sales tactic and now those same people are the ones crying they missed out. And now the people who preordered multiples...

You’re sitting on a gold mine and don’t even realize it lol

You also act like people knew Crosshair was going to be hard to get so flippers got ahold of him. So which is? Did people know or didn’t know? You can’t contradict yourself by saying no one knew but also say people did know and were exploiting it.

It was absolutely NOT just a few people 😂

We both clearly disagree on this issue. I think collectors gaslighting everyone into believing in fake fomo is no one’s fault but their own. You believe that collectors had a right to believe it was a fake sales tactic. I disagree. If you want it, preorder it. This hobby shouldn’t be based on...

Well then people can complete their team with Echo and Hunter lol People clearly didn’t learn because Wrecker is following the same fate as Crosshair did and soon enough, Tech.

It was very rare that a waitlisted figure came back to preorder status. I don’t recall that happening enough times to make the assumption that the same would be for Crosshair.

which figure did you preorder that sideshow ended up canceling because they didn’t have enough? Can you share with the class?

Maybe their actions were “logical” but why would Sideshow lie about items hitting waitlist? Theres zero benefit to that. People can still cancel preorders. I was someone who was burning paying retail for things that ultimately went on sale, I still preordered Crosshair because I didn’t buy...

I do partially blame the consumers for this. Specifically the ones crying “fake fomo” and actively convincing other people NOT to preorder because it was a sales tactic. Those people, imo, are the ones at fault for a lot of this. And new collectors took their advice and got burned.

I don’t agree with this “it’s safe to assume that it was a way for sideshow to drive up sales” because all it was was a strawman so people could get figures on clearance. I’m happy SS started doing this. I am also not being “aggressive” about this, I just remember when he first hit “low...

It was Crosshair and peacemaker The issue with it isn’t the fact no one could predict it, but the fact everyone INSISTED it was fake fomo to create artificial demand. So honestly the people who fell for that it’s kinda their own fault really.

Exactly. If you want it, preorder. Only way to guarantee you’ll get one (with the exception if you order from shady resellers).

I’m saying more as a “consequence” to everyone who said this was a fomo tactic by SS to create artificial demand. When this guy went up for preorder, people were literally saying NOT to preorder it and now those same people are the ones crying they missed out. They expected to get it on...

Definitely not. People need to learn and this was hopefully a learning experience for most people. Everyone and their mother were EXPECTING this figure to hit the discount bin

That’s what happens when you have everyone crying “it’s fake fomo!!! Don’t preorder!”

Crosshair was my favorite when the figure was announced. People actually hated him?

Maybe people shouldn’t have been crying over “fake fomo” then I remember when Crosshair went up for PO and everyone was telling everyone to NOT preorder it because it was a sham by SS to create artificial fomo.

Oh hey, that be me. Starr was signing baby bottles so who knows. Also, the proceeds go to cancer research so maybe that influenced the decision to allow it?
