AWESOME Ex. PZ PF WAIT LIST THREAD, GO!

[Blake]

I don't think I would call the system "incredibly flawed", but that may be because of my background. I have seen far worse design decisions in software projects, and made more than a few myself. Again, I don't think it is fair to cast aspersions on Sideshow, especially since Chicky has already acknowledged that the ideas from this discussion will be included in discussions for upcoming system modification projects.

You're right, incredibly flawed is going too far. I would just love to see some proactive measures rather than reactive ones.

I certainly would not want to take an order away from someone who has already converted.

Absolutely agree. That would be a terrible thing to do.

Oh, and one last thing. My use of "full-pay" versus "flex-pay" was meant in no way to disparage anyone who ordered using flex-pay. It was only meant to provide a way to distinguish between the two ordering systems in my comments. And, to be honest, I borrowed the idea from Chicky, who distinguished between "flex payments" and "full payments".

I thought that was pretty obvious.

You're like bad middle-management.

I won't comment on the rest of this, but this one made me .

Using the phrase "bad middle-management" implies that there is such a thing as "good middle-management", which is a scientific impossibility.

Given where we are today, I don't think we could ask for more than that. I certainly would not want to take an order away from someone who has already converted.

Exactly. Its the people who seem to want sideshow to rent their garments and wash their faces in ash that I am talking about.

Ah so it was Chicky.

You aren't a nobody to me sweetheart.

I'm shocked that you showed up. You never do fail to disappoint! Always swooping in to take a crap, then flying away. You're like bad middle-management.

I just call it as i see it, and in this case both of pixel's shoes fit you. What's funny to me is that at the end of all your ^^^^^ing and moaning, you still don't have a PZ EX . even this "bad-middle management" has one. :chew

Now go get me a coffee little gopher.

"I have an ice-cream and YOU DON'T! Nyah, nyah!!" *plop*

...and there he goes. Thanks for your contribution pigeon!

This is very true!

Well, I'll be honest. If Sideshow wanted to "make amends" and offered to manually convert my wait list TODAY, as in RIGHT THIS MINUTE (do I sound like Veruca Salt? ), I wouldn't complain one little bit. Are you listening, Sideshow? Hmmmm???

Ah so it was Chicky.

Yep, blame it all on Chicky. That's my story, and I'm stickin' to it!

I'm so glad Chicky showed up to explain the situation yesterday. This has made for some fun reading...

This has made my Friday at work a little more exciting!

 

[the angry orc]

regardless if mine converts what i really can't wait for is the 'pics' thread. this thing is going to be freaking awesome.

IMO, if it weren't a gimmick ES this probably would not even be an issue. I may be just a noob to the forums but I think a TBD ES would have been better way to release this. I always thought SS was smart for gauging interest on pieces and then coming up with a production number afterward. It blows my mind to think only 100 people get a PZ Ex. I just don't understand the thought process behind that decision.

 

[Chicky]

Wow. I didn't mean for my participation to create a 'duck and cover' situation. I was initially trying to help you all to correct your master list so everyone gets the appropriate information.
Best,
Chicky

 

[pixletwin]

Thanks Chicky. I appreciate your input.

The lower ES is part of what makes it an 'exclusive' piece, IMO. There are a ton of people who think that the green Hulk looks better than the grey, but the low ES is part of the reason it goes for 1200 or more. Even if there were 300 of both the regular and exclusive, the ex would be more sought after version because of the hand because that was the accessory with the original, plus it adds an extra touch of gruesomeness.

OK Guys,

I have ten Subject 2009 shirts that I have swiped from another department that shall remain nameless! What better way than to give them to some of the most passionate Patient Zero wait list haters amongst us! The first ten to PM me their shipping info gets 'em!

Best,
Chicky
