I got an email from Sideshow that my waitlist won't convert.

And they'll be closing it also.

When did you get on the WL? I've been trying to keep track of where the cut off is on the WL because some are still open.

 

[slammer6]

I wait listed at 2012-06-26 19:38:13 and mine is still open.

 

[Centurion]

If you look at the product page there's a picture that shows it pretty clearly

Thanks again darthviper.

Actually, it's those pictures you're referring to that got me thinking.

Damn did I really miss the first half of the WL by just a few minutes?!

 

[badboy074]

Hey chaosorb how high do you think they will cancel till they stop in your opinion, for me i think the first five wl are safe is that about right?

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

given the ES, maybe the top 10-15% of the list

 

[badboy074]

given the ES, maybe the top 10-15% of the list

Based on your calculations it is only 2 people maybe 3 the most that will convert, even less than 5 that i predicted.

Wow! I hate this! :/ why am I last on the list? Why?????!!?! Why???why, and why?!?!???

 

[Chaosorb]

It may even be more. With the cost of these pieces anything could happen to cause cancellations. I think ink is more accurate with 10-15% will stay open. I've even seen SSC close down the WL then reopen it later down the road. So really anything is possible.

CBG look at the list again you aren't at the bottom.

Not at the bottom of our list but believe or not we probably aren't all of the SSC collectors.

 

[Chaosorb]

^ Oh for sure. Our list is probably a drop in the bucket compared to how many are actually on it.

 

[Centurion]

True. We're still a small community here compared to all that collect.

It's insane to buy anything from anyone on eBay this far from it's release day. What's to stop the seller from just taking the money after the buyer protection period expires? Nothing. Can't file a complaint through eBay or Paypal.

Just asking to get the money stolen.

Yeah, I hope this seller pulls through. Did you all see my scam thread in the general section? It's very dangerous to buy so far ahead of time with no protection. Just my 2 cents to you all.

I preordered my two joker on the seller ewok and zskid10 i believe and both were honest, as ewok told me he got scammed by his dealer and ran away with the statue and money so he refunded me my money via paypal, and the other seller shipped the statue to me sealed and i opened it so it was fine.

great to have some good sellers! I hope you are right! Because I just got one from ewok as well. If I get scam out of another 800.00. I will quit collecting. Now for the wait. btw what's retail for this set anyways? 800.00 or 700.00? I paid 800.00 shipped. I believe this is the lowest I've seen? Well I thought the same for colossus but didn't get squat. Only hope now.....

CBG you started in April and I did in May so Im wondering...How much money have you spent building your collection? I know you've been buying at rapid pace.

Yes I did, I don't even want to know. But to be honest, it's the back collecting that's a real killer. Also buying old statues suck because when they are double the price and then they come broken. These no replacement. I have 4 claims going on now. Very big headaches. But this last two weeks I had,

Dutch ex
Boba fett ex
General grevious ex
Classic predator ex
Joker ex
Colossus ex paid but got scam for nothing
Droids set ex

I feel much better now that most of my back tracking is done. I really hate buying out of production statues. This week was tough because of the high price items like the Droids set, grevious, fett, joker, Dutch all came at the same time. I'm even getting rid of a few now, just no space left. I still have like 20 on preorders from my SS account.
Are you caught up yet? Any back tracking? Or are you only collecting the newer items?

How many staues have you got now?

I only have Skaar EX now.

Preordered:
Rhino EX
Lady Death EX
Poison Ivy EX
Batman EX
Darth Malgus EX
Galactus Maquette
Bowen Magneto Action---Im a huge Magneto fan

Waitlist:
Joker EX----itll get cancelled soon
Droids EX---see Joker EX lol
Sagat EX---Im not 100% sure I want it.

I tend to prefer bad guys verses heroes, so that cuts down alot due to way more heroes released verses bad guys.

Just buy pieces that you really like and can see keeping for some time then, sounds like you just buy things for the sake of it.
