1/6 Hot Toys - MMS275 -John Blake/ Jim Gordon with Bat-Signal Collectible Set

[Mike86]

Surprised that the set with Gordon and Blake is on waitlist. I never ordered it yet but I doubt it'll be too hard to get even if its not from Sideshow.

 

[DiFabio]

The Armory options and Robocop sets went to wait list initially too around the time they first hit.



Now? None of the options are sold out. I don't know why that always happens in the beginning. Arkham city game Batman is listed as preorder now, but surely they have them in stock? I don't get it.

Went on wait list just in case it is not a ploy by ssc to scare people into buying.

Yeah. It almost seems like Sideshow purposefully puts items on waitlist status in hopes of getting people who are on the fence to grab a spot. I'm sure its not the case but I have a hard time believing they've actually sold all the sets they're allotted.

Yup, they like to hold back and induce panic among collectors, then they pull out the "warehouse find" and then they always have some available for contests and giveaways. Don't buy into the fear.

 

[afattori]

Sat for months and now all if sudden wait listed?

 

[Edub]

Finally got mine in. Can't wait to unbox it later tonight

 

[Sidewinder]

I don't know, maybe they ordered less of them going by the preorders that they had? They ended up with a lot of the armoury and had to heavily discount those, so they wouldn't want to have the same situation with this set.

I called to have them charge the remainder of the flex payments but alas they did not have enough to send mine yet. Back to waiting.

 

[dw316]

So are we waiting it out to come back? Or is the panic starting?

20-50% off in December. If Sideshow is on the ball, they would have severely limited their orders for this compared to the armory. Sales started off strong for that one and it looked like it would be sold out and long gone by the time it started shipping. Not sure if either HT or Sideshow are willing to take the chance of being burned like that again. I'd pick this set up with a massive discount, but at full retail, even with a $20 coupon, no chance.

Yeah, I was waiting for the % discount as well since I bit the bullet with 2 armory sets, bought them when they "went on waitlist" the 2nd time around, with codes, and now look at where we are with them. I wanted to do the same with the BD Robocop set and this Bat Signal set. Any chance that happens?

 

[DiFabio]

I think the chances are quite good.

I'm waiting for the Battle Damaged Robocop set as well. I felt like a chump buying the Armory three pack and Robocop sets at full price only to see them heavily discounted within months. I'm not making the same mistake again. I'm waiting.

Like you said and like I stated before, the Armory and Robocop sets went to "waitlist" before too, and look now, all of them are in stock.

 

[WhoaItsJBot]

I bought the Alfred armory for $287 shipped. I'm waiting on a big discount on this too. At least 30%.

Patience my friend. If the armory didn't sell out with main characters in it, I am pretty sure the secondary characters is even a tougher. They did the same thing with Rocket and root, waitlisted now the EX is available. Armory, Star-Lord etc. This ploy is getting old now by Sideshow.

 

[Mike86]

Yeah the main reason I'm waiting is because of the heavy discounts on the armory with Alfred and Bruce set. I want the set but I'm not paying full price if there's a chance Sideshow might eventually offer it for 20% off. If anything if it truly sells out soon on Sideshow (which I doubt) I'm betting it'll be in stock for a while at BBTS or somewhere else or I can probably find one second hand on the forum.

 

[YankeesFanboy]

This set may be around for TWO Spooktaculars let alone one.

 

[WhoaItsJBot]

I'll probably nab it when it hits 30% off and try to sell Blake.

 

[Agentofchaos]

waiting as well...the armory bit me as well...

 

[Mjölnir1]

The set is back in stock. Now we play the waiting game.
