Art-Figures: AF-003 "Saves" (Punisher)

[kingbumble]

I disagree. a)we weren't screwed, we got a full refund b)OSB prides itself on offering good service. If the manufacturer is messing them around and refusing to reply to e-mails, etc, this would in turn reflect badly on OSB as customers get in touch to ask about the whereabouts of their figure. By making the decision to no longer supply the item at this point, anyone who wants to still has plenty of time to preorder it before release.

I'd much rather use a company that only deals with reputable and reliable suppliers

 

[Punisher75]

what if the company is just having internal computer issues or something of that nature is why they didn't respond and OSB jumped the gun and refunded all of the money on the Pre Orders. I know on eBay it seems to be going for $130-$150 quite a bit more than most of the pre orders I have seen. Was there any major issues with their first two figures? I also noticed CalTekUSA stated this on Facebook "We've just received our container today, will be shipping out all these items tomorrow. Please contact your dealer for your order.
Thank you."

That really seems like a DISservice rather than in your best interest since now you got screwed and have to find one for a higher price. They really should have asked before doing that to all of you guys.

just out of interest what would asking achieve? OSB like any other retailer has to get these in a certain bulk to be able to offer it at a certain price. i'm pretty sure if half the people said they wanted to cancel and half didn't the price would go up anyway. there are still places to preorder this at a decent price. looking to only deal with reputable companies (as far as i gathered, communication wasn't the only issue) doesn't seem to me like a disservice.

I believe it is sold out in most retailer, best bet is to catch one on ebay before prices inflate. I POd mines at VP but he sold out real quick.

Can't wait to get this!

Ooh. . .isn't that place a bit shady? Like, they tend to switch out parts, etc.?

i've heard rumours, but wasn't sure... i guess i'll avoid them in future too now if they're really doing that. that's pretty lame of storerooms.

disregard my last post!

 

[karamazov80]

I haven't seen it first hand, but also saw posts about it regarding the Deckard that came out awhile back. Buyer beware, I would say.

 

[Erech Overaker]

I've never had any issues with Store-rooms personally, boxed items or loose, but I have heard of issues as far as people being unhappy with response time/shipping. The only switching out issue I heard of was with a loose tool set that was parted out on ebay, so YMMV. I'd feel about 95% comfortable ordering this from them though.

Just saw this:

^ Wow, looks like they already have it in stock. Hopefully VP will get their shipment soon.

Pre-orders are still available over at Monkeydepot

I'd order ASAP then since they still have him at $90. They aren't above scalping and as soon as he is in stock/they realize the demand for him, they will bump up the price. I know they had a HT T-800 on there a few months ago (between the 2 runs) for $200+

 

[EVILFACE]

Went ahead and placed a order with MD. If anything, I'll flip him

 

[Animal Mother.]

You may have gotten the last one Evil. Now out of stock at MD.

 

[EVILFACE]

open to the highest bidder!!

 

[EVILFACE]

MD has already shipped my order. . .

 

[Animal Mother.]

Crap!

I hope VP follows next week.

 

[Boondocksaint]

just got my shipping notice
