Re: Big Chief Studios Acquires James Bond License

The fallout after the first Blitzway Fight Club production photos was bad enough. And that was Blitzway.

This is BCS.

I think you're all very brave. :lol

:lol

Didn't that Blltzway Tyler end up good in the end though? (I know its not BCS)


For me, all three of these figures are repeats... so worst case: I'm buying really expensive parts... best case: I'm spending a lot for more of the same.



But how often do you get a chance at a Gert Frobe? :lol
 
Re: Big Chief Studios Acquires James Bond License

And Goldfinger reminds me of Mr. Toad.

:lol

I've decided to hold off too. I'm not making the same mistake I made with Moriarty - Paid in full, waited 18 months, really disappointed. They have issues to sort out ready for production. So, I''l wait for now.
 
Re: Big Chief Studios Acquires James Bond License

Will get just Connery. If I buy more I fear they will become like potato chips and I'll want them all!
But I'm going to wait for in-hand pics before I 100% commit to it. Regular (non LTD) edition is good enough for me.

Yeah that would be a disaster if the final suit came out looking as bad as the one on Moriarty. I don't expect that to happen as I'm sure this is a character BCS cares much more about getting right, but still, it's a safe bet that there will be a drop in quality of some kind. Which makes me think I shouldn't get rid of my Yunsil suit just yet...
 
Re: Big Chief Studios Acquires James Bond License

I agree, I will buy Connery and possibly Oddjob if they look good in hand but given everything I've read I feel it's too much of a risk to pay money upfront. The only figure of theirs that I've ever really liked is the Matt smith doctor with the long coat. I'm hoping for good things but I can't get excited until it's been shown here on someone's shelves. I also think having the release date so close to Christmas has got imminent disappointment written all over it.

Still, always look on the bright side, eh?
 
Re: Big Chief Studios Acquires James Bond License

So is this correct for USA buyers:

3 figure set = 524.99 GBP - 30 GBP (if pay in full) = $619.43 USD (shipping not included)


With shipping to the States, that comes out to roughly $220 per figure... which I think is a good price assuming the figures come out well. BCS has to prove themselves to EON in order to continue so there is hope for extra effort.



Plus, did I mention... this is Goldfinger. :)
 
Re: Big Chief Studios Acquires James Bond License

Big Chief made some changes to the pricing in their announcement so the discounts are now uniform regardless of whether you get the limited edition or not: https://www.bigchiefstudios.co.uk/l...er-sixth-scale-figures-available-to-pre-order

First Edition/Limited Edition

Buy any 2 different figures:
Pay by Payment Plan and receive £20.00/$25.05 discount off the selling price
Pay in Full and receive £30.00//$37.57 discount off the selling price
Buy any 3 different figures:
Pay by Payment Plan and receive £30.00/$37.57 discount off the selling price
Pay in Full and receive £40.00/$50.10 discount off the selling price.
 
Re: Big Chief Studios Acquires James Bond License

That makes more sense now, buying 3 gets you more discount than buying 2.

So if you buy all 3 figures, now each figure is about $215 shipped to the US.



Still torn as to what to do. I need to really think about the exclusives I guess. I want Goldfinger without question -- I got to have that dumb hat, goes perfect with his gaudy style -- but I don't need Bond's PPK and maybe I don't need a 2nd Bowler hat for Oddjob just because its metal-rimmed (might make it too heavy for the figure to hold)?

Re: Big Chief Studios Acquires James Bond License

So, £196.66 per figure if buying all three. And, paying up front.
I've paid up front for all my Who figures, meaning that they have £635 of my cash for three signature edition figures due later this year.

I can see me following that line tonight (tomorrow).

For those who haven't got BC figures before, there latest release was the 9th Doctor. He turned out well in my opinion.
I will say that I have purchased each of their Who figures and I've always been happy with the look of them, and genuinely believe they look great on display.
 
Re: Big Chief Studios Acquires James Bond License

Pre-orders on these figures will start at 5pm (17:00) UK time tomorrow according to BCS.
 
Re: Big Chief Studios Acquires James Bond License

Doesn't BCS offer a 30-day money back guarantee if the figures are ordered through their website? I'm thinking, I'll pre-order the 3 set, and if the final production pieces are subpar, I'll ship 'em back for a refund. It's true I'll have to eat shipping both ways, but better than eating over $600.00 and being stuck with poor quality figures.

Thanks.I just can hope they'll need just credit cart info for payment plan, because my internet bank will not work from 4 p.m. :(
