Sideshow's marketing of late has just been plain stupid.

No newsletter for hardcore fans and hiding available products?!? :dunno

You're assuming they're hiding things on purpose. Have you maybe at all factored in that its technical issues?

SS's love-hate relationship with their fan base (at least those that post here) doesn't garner much benefit of the doubt it seems.
 
Anyways, I really am quite excited to get three LOTR statues (Gimli, Arwen, and Weta's mini GTG statue) in the same month. Its honestly been years since that happened so it makes me fondly think back to the good ole days.

I hope you will post reviews about these statues as soon as possible. ;)

I understand where you are coming from Josh:wave...but to be honest, I would be a lot happier to have them spread out over the coming months, purely for financial reasons. :wink1:

Looking forward to getting these great pieces though. :rock2

I hear ya. I'm just speaking from the fan side of things. :lol I've also got a couple SW clones coming in so my wallet is taking a beating. :lol
 
It is the fans that love-hate SS not the other way around, hence the general mistrust of the company's motives.
 
Yes half the board's users come here religiously to bemoan how much they hate the company whose actions control most of their free time :)

You have to log in and use the Search Product Archive feature. I suppose it could be a website glitch, but is more likely a new (and not altogether unreasonable) policy of not promoting the Regular edition of any piece that still has Exclusive versions available. A lot of people place orders with Sideshow only to cancel once they secure a piece elsewhere.
 
Not promoting something doesn't have to mean outright not selling it. I only follow LotR and GI Joe, but the one thing that all "missing" Regular versions seem to have in common is that the Exclusives are either still in-stock or available for pre-order.

yes it seems to be their new search logic, if the exclusive is in stock it shows the exclusive, if it's soldout then it shows the regular. The other is not even searchable, which is very annoying as sometime you just want to find what the exclusive was for comparison.

I just use google nowdays and get to their product page directly for what I am looking for (ie: "arwen sideshowtoy exclusive"). And dont get me started on the way they list new products.

Definitely a love/hate relationship :slap they really need to hire some real marketing guys to rethink their website design and functionality.
