A kid. Yep. A disabled us marine (medically retired after ten years) who got his MBA, worked as an accountant and then case worker then executive for a state subcontractor, whose job it was to help bring jobs and businesses to one of the ten largest metro areas in the USA, until I was forced to retire permantly due to the injuries I sustained while active duty in the marine corps. But yep, keep making those assumptions and name calling. I stated my opinion based on having run a business and my education, and especially in my second comment, said nothing directed at you personally despite you having taking a shot at me. Now again you make it personal to divert the topic from your lack of understanding.
Hot toys sets the product run size long before the figures are announced. The size of the product run directly effects the profit the manufacture makes. Especially on a new tooled figure. The allotment a place like sideshow gets us adjustable, and they can adjust it up to a certain point before shipping. However, the preorders sideshow and big bad toys and so forth get does not effect the quality of a figure. And sideshow also is the major supplier for a lot of secondary retailers so the preorder lets them choose how much to offer to the public as presale, to the retail places, and how many they hold for day of. Again my point has been, in contradiction to yours, that the amount of preorders does not effect the quality control or design of the figures, as you implied. So do you want to discuss the actual issue or continue being a keyboard warrior running your mouth to someone you have no clue about?
