Someone either in this thread or the other AVP:R threads stated that HK sellers will get first, Toys2 will get a few weeks later and Sideshow gets it 3-4 months after.
I don't know how ebay seller ABC-express does it but he always gets more pics than the official Hot Toys website. Not sure if I'm allowed to post his pics but this pic was just too cool to not share. You can find more pics through ebay...not too hard to find. There are also additional of the Predalien and Alien.
Hey leprechaun, get off the piss will ya.
I had the same problem or similar. Can't remember exactly what it was. I guess that happens when too much alcohol is consumed. Anyway, I just contacted the boss dude, and he sorted it out after about two or three emails back and forth. I thought it was just me because this sort of thing happens to me all the time. So persevere and you'll get there eventually.
Oh yeah, and ABC Express will get more, you just have to check back there every now and then, but be warned, it's best to get in early with them because they jack the price up over time. Just as an example, I bought their version one Joker for around $135, their last one went up for over $200. That may have been a more limited item, but you'll notice the price rise once you get used to the site.
Oh and another warning, don't believe their crapola about bullet proof packaging. It's probably the same as what you guys in the states get from Sideshow, a boxed item slipped into a cardboard box sleeve, of course any dings will be transmitted through to the figures box. Not sure if that's right that Sideshow do it. I wouldn't know. The parcels I receive from Sideshow all come in a larger box surrounded by air pillows, being that I am an international purchaser.
