I caved and placed the order for the Special edition with throne. May as well, only $39 NRD.
Of course they aresooooo the deadline is gone and the special editions are still up sooooo
Yes, to get as many customers as possible, in a short time-frame, to preorder. I would like to see the preorder numbers!So the timer on SS was done and the special editions are still up for order... was there a point to the timer?
Wow! Sideshow continues to show themselves as a Con.sooooo the deadline is gone and the special editions are still up sooooo
Like I said more marketing panic buy BS from Sideshow. It's sad that they can't see or don't care about the damage it does to their reputation as being a shifty company. The loyalty point changes and the sending out 2nd hand stock (denial) just reinforces the perception. If it was my business I would be building a trusted reputation and a loyal customer base. And losing profit because of it . Old fashioned I guess.Wow! Sideshow continues to show themselves as a Con.
Add to that the mafioso tactics they use against Hong Kong based sellers.Like I said more marketing panic buy BS from Sideshow.

Looks like Boba just entered "waitlist" for the exclusive.I only ordered from them because I don’t have to pay right now and not start paying until next year. And the “30 day warranty” but thinking of just buying from overseas in the future. The timer was completely pointless of course.
Their strategy probably didn't work as well as they hoped it would.Looks like Boba just entered "waitlist" for the exclusive.
Seems so odd they have the webpage programming to mark an item being sold out based on their inventory on the auto, but they have to manually go in and change it when its running on a timer.
I was undecided on this also but ended up ordering from AE. With tax + shipping, I’m assuming an atleast $50 difference in price.Undecided if the Holograms are worth the $45+ extra in tax/shipping vs smaller retailers. Anybody got any idea of how big they are? I never use the others I have but they are usually busts, vs these are ships which i do dig.

I'm not too affected since I was only going to order Boba from a different site for cheaper anyway, but the Iron Strange (for whoever that was made for) and Deadpool accessories are such a bullocks situation. Always down for preorder exclusives, I'm used to it when I collected Figma, but Extreme Early Bird exclusives leave a bad taste.so guess that’s how they made it “sold out” by making it waitlist. Hmmmm I only ordered boba throne and mark 1 the special editions. Black widow I’ll wait to order and didn’t need the taskmaster shield as I definitely would never use that especially how taskmaster was treated in the film.
Yea this early of exclusive and only be available for a week timer is odd for sure. I wonder if this will be for all future figures through sideshow that has a “exclusive” to get more pre orders rig by away. Like I said earlier I only order thorough sideshow because of the great payment plan they offer and it’s literally 30 min away from me so shipping is next day for me.I'm not too affected since I was only going to order Boba from a different site for cheaper anyway, but the Iron Strange (for whoever that was made for) and Deadpool accessories are such a bullocks situation.

There are shops in other states that don’t charge tax out of state. Coupled with free or low cost flat rate shipping, wouldn’t you be saving like $30-40+ per figure buy buying from an authorized retailer?Yea this early of exclusive and only be available for a week timer is odd for sure.

I guess that's why the exclusives are so lame this time.That aside, the timed exclusives debuted with the figures revealed for the convention so they could make it a limited experiment if this didn’t pan out.
And I don’t think it worked that well, honestly, and making it limited seems counter to trying to incentivize people buying from Sideshow directly.
You’d want to make the exclusive available for as lonf as possible instead of chasing FOMO and impulse orders.
We’ll see what happens the next time a figure has a Sideshow exclusive version.
That’s pretty par for the course. Luckily for anyone that doesn’t care about exclusives, the bonus items are generally not show stoppers.I guess that's why the exclusives are so lame this time.
