Can SS clarify the PF Boba debate??

[Natrix]

In your opinion it is. That doesn't make it so and you've been given the reason why cost is what it is. Yet, you continue to say this isn't the case. We get the point already you feel it's so and you've canceled. Time to move on!

Pot calling the kettle black....

You could follow your own advice here and move on as well and quit antagonizing. I was hoping to keep this thread civil on both sides.

At the request of our clients we began pre-orders so that they can reserve the item for their collection before it arrives into our warehouse. This means many times pre-orders occur before or during the production process of the item, therefore the pictures are of protoypes and marked accordingly. This is why we update our clients with new pictures and product details when possible.

At the time of the blog posting, the item is 30 days from arriving to the warehouse. All orders are in pre-order status and NO money has been collected. If you feel that you will not be happy with the item as it is described in our blog, simply cancel your pre-order which you can do without penalty as long as it happens in the next 3 weeks. In addition, collectors have 30 days after delivery to inspect their figures and return them for a refund if they find the quality lacking.

We hope that collectors will be patient and wait to critic the piece until they have it in hand. We firmly believe that the collectors will be pleased with the final results.

Best,
Chicky

Uh, I'm not sure if you know this or not but there is a difference between taking a company to task for something you feel is wrong and calling out an INDIVIDUAL.

Taking them to task for what? The stuff I mentioned is calling them out. You did say what Brant said was spin which is calling him a liar. Can't make it any easier for ya.

Which is my right as a consumer and Sideshow customer. Live with it.

Congrats. Would you like a Cookie?

And, by the way, it's not like I'm a consistent contrarian like Collector Freak. I never even made a peep when people were complaining about Fett's helmet, etc. and I proudly own MOST of SSC's Star Wars items. Yet one or two topics get under my skin and the pollyannas declare war on my character.

Right you're not. However, knowing how cool you are 99.9% of the time I don't get the fit on this one.

You all do know that polystone is just another type of resin aka "plastic", right?

Seems they chose ABS to minimize breakage and make it a more durable product all around. As Brant pointed out, it's not any cheaper to produce for them and that isn't the motivating factor in the material used.

Would seem like cutting off your nose to spite your face to cancel based on this revelation. It's not going to change the way the item looks and it will save on shipping. What's to complain about?

Josh, just please don't cut Irish's legs off.. if you do, he will strike you down in about 20 years.

I don't know about Irish but I want a cookie. Preferably a chewie chips ahoy. That's right Danny I said it. **** that Girls Scout ****!!!

Oh, no it's not. It's Brant's JOB to try and explain and/or justify things from Sideshow's point of view. He wouldn't be such a kickass Production Manager/Coordinator if he didn't and I don't begrudge him at all. I just don't agree.

... be patient and wait to critic the piece until they have it in hand. We firmly believe that the collectors will be pleased with the final results.

Thanks for chiming in, Chicky. Seriously. And I don't doubt that many will be pleased... just saying MOST would be even more pleased if there was a price adjustment.

Oh, I don't know... the fact that they're still charging polystone prices for an item made out of much cheaper ABS material??

What's to complain about? Dave this is Star Wars. If you ain't complaining you ain't being a Star Wars fan.

I believe I mentioned this earlier today actually but it went in one ear and out the other.

Right again something I pointed out today and again when after Brant posted. However, nobody seems to want to listen to reason Dave.

Dave you and I both know that some people just naturally like to complain. Mainly SW fans it seems.

Josh, just please don't cut Irish's legs off.. if you do, he will strike you down in about 20 years.

Thanks gotta write that one down.

Well no one answers when I ask, but then why not move to ABS for everything since it will never break and forget all about polystone statues?

Josh doesn't want any of this, believe me. Afterall, I actually am Irish.

Then again, Josh does have that imposing Darth Maul FX saber. :maul

Hey, don't be saying Brant kicks people's *****. Thats defamation!

Yeah Chicky. Look I will give you this oppurtunity to make things right. Just send me a free Boba Fett PF statue and all will be forgiven, preferably #42 so i can scalp that sucker to Tomandshell.

I like like Chewie Chips ahoy. They're very good IMO.

Oh, I don't know... the fact that they're still charging polystone prices for an item made out of much cheaper ABS material??

Polystone prices? Please prove these prices are for poly only. I believe they charge based on all the factors of making the item be it Poly or ABS.

 

[IrishJedi]

Not after I introduce myself to him at Celebration IV.
