Re: Current discount codes at SSC: B3M1N3 $20 off February Code

Hi all, I've been lurking for quite a while and have a question that may not even be able to be answered but here goes. I'm debating on getting either the Hot Toys Hulkbuster or Deloreon but absolutely hate it when products go on sale for 10-25% percent off and I have feel that I'm getting screwed for committing early. Does anyone think that these items might be discounted in the future or will they sell out.

The only hitch in my thinking is that I do have approximately $1,700 and change in rewards points with $300 or so pending points so technically I can get both for free but my frugal nature rears it head again. (Yes, I do realize the irony of trying to be frugal in this hobby).

Thanks for any advice. Just maybe I'll post my collection one of these days when I have the proper setup.

Even if a 5-20% discount code becomes available for either item you wont be able to combine with your RPs.

Just order them if it's not costing you any cash.

wanted to use this code on the jsc black cat as its finally due out soon. so sick of sideshow's waitlist games. went on the waitlist last night for the EX and got a conversion is less than 24 hours. its more than obvious they wait list items just so that coupons cannot be used.

Yup, that and it prompts anyone on the fence to jump on.

Third world problems :dunno

Yeah, in the past they would have the low stock notice on items, but then the last time I remember them having that, it got a lot of people to order (2-pack Cap set), went to waitlist, and then came back, and then got discounts months later. Not really too happy about those business tactics but I guess there's nothing we can do about that. I like that on BBTS you can sort of check to see how much stock is left so you can gauge whether or not you should wait for a sale or what not. I was hoping the Nazgul steed would get something but it looks like I may have to get that rather than wait and pray for Black Friday discount, haha. Plus, I don't know if BBTS ever really does discount prices. I just wish I knew whether HT Kylo, Vader, or Sandtrooper are close to going to waitlist, or if there's a chance of snagging them for free shipping, or double rewards. Doubt they'd go to % off territory.
 
Re: Current discount codes at SSC: B3M1N3 $20 off February Code

Kylo and Vader probably won't get free shipping or any other discount (maybe sandtrooper). Don't see extra rewards on any of them. Only one Star Wars figure has gotten free shipping (kenobi) and now he's sold out. Only one HT Star Wars figure has been eligible for extra discounts--spacetrooper ($25 instead of the usually $20).
 
Re: Current discount codes at SSC: B3M1N3 $20 off February Code

You can't really count on what you want getting a discount, I made that mistake last year. I waited for DOFP Wolverine, Falcon, and Mk43 to get one of those now mythical 30% discounts and they all went to waitlist. Wolverine was eligible for one of those $25 codes and that's it.
 
Re: Current discount codes at SSC: B3M1N3 $20 off February Code

Thanks, used the $20 Off for the Pepper Potts/Mark IX set.

Probably will end up regretting paying MSRP (less coupon) when it gets heavily discounted on a sale later this year (just like the Dark Knight Armory 2-figure set did).

Initially I had planned to get this Pepper/Mark IX set through BBTS but SSC has exclusive illuminated Iron Man head... probably will light it up once and never turn it on again. :lol

I know what you mean. I have a couple of IM figures and have done the same. Greatness.

If you don't want it, I'll buy it off you... :wink1: :lol

If they make a die-cast Mk VII, they'd probably include that, right?
 
Re: Current discount codes at SSC: B3M1N3 $20 off February Code

Hey guys I have a question that I thought someone here could easily help me with. So a long while back I put in my preorder for the 1/4 scale Mark 43. Well, since that time I have changed the focus of my collection to DC only and he doesn't really have a place in my collection. If I cancel, I know I lose out on my NRD, but otherwise is my CC just refunded? I was on a flex pay plan for him so I have a certain amount already charged and I just wasn't sure how this worked. My other thought is let it finish up and then just sell him once I receive him, but then I'm out shipping to me AND shipping to someone else, which likely is a bit more than just losing the NRD. Thanks for any assistance, fellas.
 
Re: Current discount codes at SSC: B3M1N3 $20 off February Code

If the figure is sold out, sell it once you get it and price it to cover all your shipping charges. If you want to speculate further, hold it for a while and then try to sell it at a profit.

Otherwise, cancel and yes, you lose only the NRD.
 
Re: Current discount codes at SSC: B3M1N3 $20 off February Code

Don't you lose a percentace of each flex payment?

Have you cancelled an item before? Contact them and ask if you can move the NRD.

I think that basically happened once and people expected it to happen again. Some items still get discounts but only really slow movers and not the vast majority of items.

Yeah I'm fairly certain there is a fee after each payment has been charged and that you don't lose only the NRD.
 
Re: Current discount codes at SSC: B3M1N3 $20 off February Code

I thought that was the case as well, a fee per flex payment you have already paid, but I know someone pointed out in another thread something about if an item has an NRD, only the NRD is deducted and not the flex payments, and this was on sideshow's site somewhere. I can't confirm it, but it got me confused as well, so I'm not sure which is true. I have never cancelled on my flex payments so I don't know, I always assumed there was a fee, so I'd like to know the answer to this as well.
