And so it begins....

I'd even be happy if SSC let us pay in full upfront - like most people if I have the money in my account and see something I like - I grab it.

i agree with you. right now i have enough to pay for most of the stuff i have on preorder. but it still feels better to pay things off right away instead of waiting until it ships. i have:
PF captain america ex
PF Spike ex--- soon to be cancelled
Legoas ex--shipping soon
Boromir ex---shipping soon
Plo Koon ex--- hopefully shipping soon
White Queen ex ---- girlfriend hopes i cancel

I really wish Sideshow would go back to the two month estimate instead of these "Qtrs" that are never even close. Weren't the Terminators supposed to be 2nd Qtr to begin with?

I'd settle for the old 30 day notice we used to get. Nowadays it seems more like 10 - 15 is the more common. Not too much of a hassle if you are on fortnightly or weekly pays - but I used to be on monthly and that would have been a killer.

It was a pretty painful decision but I had to cancel the following because of unexpected costs from Xmas, along with car repairs:

Regular PF Hulk
Subject 57 Doctor

On the fence at the moment: Endor Soldier 3-pack. Most likely cancel.

January is already a pretty tight month as it is, and I barely made it through Xmas. At least I got my Darth Maul and my GG animated Darth Vader to keep me happy for now.

....Bib Fortuna - ironically, he was on the cut list til I worked out a sell and trade for the exclusive parts.....

And thank you for that.

I'm actually keeping everything right now. I was going back and forth about the Jabba set-up... $350+ w/shipping is pretty ridiculous, but at the same time I think Jabba and a full-sized throne will still be pretty badass and since I've started my new job it will be easier (kinda) to afford.

I'm on the waitlist for Legolas and Boromir, so i'll keep them if they come and then of course can't let the good doctor go Its gonna be a pricey couple of months

Jabba aint cheap that's for sure but since IMO at least I look at him more as a PF scale piece with throne and all. $350 is about what I would expect to pay for it all. I think once everyone has him in hand the price will be justifed and he is so totally bad ass.

Yeah, I'm kinda in the boat that I'd rather by him now and have the figure then have to track it down later for a higher price. Also if Bib is any indication Jabba and his setup should be a solid homerun!!!

Totally with ya. I was not gonna get him when I thought about him coming down the pipe someday. Just wasn't sure how easy he would be to pull off even for SS I knew it would be tuff. Then I saw him @ SDCC and was just amazed at how cool he looked and the size. They really got so much detail in it and he darn near takes up a whole display case by himself. It's really just something you gotta have if you can afford it or can live with not having some other stuff.

I agree. If you can afford $350 for Luke and Yoda or Darth Vader, you should be able to find the $320 for Jabba and his throne. I just think of him more as a premium format purchase, and I don't think his total price is crazy when you compare the cost and size of the final product to other items in that price range:

Thnx for the compairson Tom!! That shows exactly how I think of Jabba.

 

[tomandshell]

Vader should actually be a bit taller, but I'm lazy and you get the idea anyway...

Well, after thinking about it, I cancelled Asaji, Leia, and Plo Koon. Just don't need those three in my collection at the moment.
