1:6 Old Ben Preorder Thread

Be sure to jump on the waitlist, at this point you are almost guaranteed a conversion. I'm sure there are a lot of double orders from the phone and online.

Thanks, I did it - I actually don't care about the Leia thingie, but the 1977 number is what is cool to me!

Thanks all!

That kind of P1sses me off. We had to wait and didn't know for sure whether or not we would get an obi-wan or not, while the easy way out was for the phone order. Now the people who didn't want to risk it get the points as well. That's messed up.

Not sure what thats about, but getting through on the phone is not "the cowards way" as you seem to imply. I was working to get online, but had my phone doing double duty as soon as I saw that online was not going to be an option.

I think its very stand-up of Sideshow to offer points to us as well since there was no way to get him online.

Wow, that was one hell of a ride. Reminds me of the McFarlane serves for EVERY order

 

[MaulFan]

I was refreshing 3 computers and redialing on the phone like a madman.

In the end it was Buttmunch who helped me out as well.

Rock on to Buttmunch!!!

Gotta go with GB on this one, going the way of the phone wasn't some sleezy thing or trick or whatever, everybody in this forum and outside of it was struck with a moment of absolute despiration and doing whatever possible to get their sought after figure, and in the end, it may have left some without getting an order in or what not, but on the positive end, it showed the true colors of some who had success as they stood up for strugglers and got us orders where we could not, so I'm grateful for this PPO bringing this divided community back together again, as only Obi-Wan Kenobi could manage.

The Force will be with us....always.

Great post.

 

[Darth Madden]

If they allow you to call in an order than how is it "the cowards way?" Its 100% fine by me that people did it that way.. and if I had missed the exclusive because of phone orders than thats too bad for me.

Cheers Maulfan. That sums it up perfectly.

Seems I acted out of anger and impatience. Had a bad day at work, very Sith of me. Suppose I was referring not to the people who were trying both the internet and the phone lines, but the people that were strickly phone calls. Didn't mean to imply that the phone was the cowards way out or anything of that nature. Apologizes if I offended anyone by my post. Suppose we should all be happy to get an Obi-Wan.

 

[galactiboy]

No prob, I was hoping it was just frustration talking

It was, very much so. I was sitting in a computer room with no phone, so I was praying the net was working. Oh well, water under the bridge, or over it; or however you have it.

 

[Collector Freak]

I can't wait for you to leave.

Very clever...


Can't wait 'till this ships!

I like CF. He is the silantro in our freaky salsa!

 

[customizerwannabe]

Seems more like the urine in our pool.

 

[Lord Aykroyd]

I LOVE THE GOOD OL' PPO DAYS!!!!!

:chew ME TOO! :chew

 

[Alice Adrenochrome]

So we're gonna get RP for phone orders on Obi-Wan? That's great!! I couldn't get ahold of Jennifer (she's my regular CS rep) but Destiny helped me out. That's great they're gonna give RP for it.

Heh... I tried for Destiny, and got Jennifer! She was great! Friendly all the way!

But I have to say, that I'd be very upset had I not managed to score one these exclusive Obi's due to these special circumstances...

 

[EVILFACE]

Dave? When are you gonna ban this idiot?

Every kingdom needs a jester.

Other peoples *****ing is pretty ho hum and boring.

CF is amusing at least.

 

[customizerwannabe]

Yeah...I guess so.
