Current discount codes at SSC

Never heard of that. Sounds like a pretty random occurrence but might try it.

Btw, it doesn't happen every time, but Ive noticed when I do get a pop up, those are the steps I was taking at the time. It usually takes repeating.

Hasn't been working for me neither, but I'm fine with it. Would rather it pop up randomly one day than have tons of people inquiring about it and getting on SSC's radar that they decide to axe the thing for good. Damn noobs...

Did the thread about the pop ups get deleted?

Hope so.

It only works on that one item it popped up for.... At least that was what happened back when I got it for Spidey.

I had the 10% randomly pop-up for me a few weeks ago while shopping for Asmus's Saruman figure. Never had it happen before then or since.

OK, I'm confused with what is going on with these 10% pop up codes. I've been trying for a good long time to get the codes on the Aquaman and Green Goblin PFs with no success while other peeps here were getting them left and right and POing multiple statues with them. Today I finally get a 10% pop up for Aquaman and I POd him. Then, a little while later I get another 10% pop up code for GG. It looks like my luck has finally turned. I tried to use the code they gave me for the GG PF and the site blocked it. They were 2 entirely different codes so it wasn't blocked for that reason. So, is it one and done with the 10% codes? One a month? What's the rules regarding the codes?

I tried to get the Spidey discount last night but nothing.

With all the discussion on here, and one person even starting a thread, SS have probably pulled the plug.

I know of a few people who have called CS to complain about paying full price and demanding they get the discount.
Once again they're the idiots who spoil it for everyone.

You're probably right, but I think it's a little backward of Sideshow to reward the johnny-come-lately's with 10% off and the early birds don't get squat. If they are trying to promote sales they should lower the price of their statues in the first place especially since nearly every edition size is in the thousands with batch shipping and NRDs.

I've seen others mention a special discount for early preorders which makes more sense. Cap it at a certain number of preorders or a certain number of days and have them put down a larger deposit (say 15%) up front. That way Sideshow can reward more early buyers and avoid them getting upset if something gets discounted later on.

They're doing what every company does with sales and promotions: Move older inventory and attract new customers. Attracting new customers is the hardest thing to do in sales.

Chronicle Collectibles have a reduced price for early orders.

New customers are less likely to know how to get a pop up discount.

Early orders are the ones who should get the discounts, but Sideshow does everything backwards.

Why would sideshow (anyone) give a discount for an early "order" when no money changes hands? No one does that. And no one does it for products that are ready to sell either except maybe when they're starting the business or launching a brand new product that doesn't have any marketing or buzz.

You need to start shopping on Kickstarter (aka Fantasy-lala-land).

Yup, even my LCS gives us discounts for early orders whether they are from SS or any other company which is why I only order from SS if there's an EX I want or they manage to have something I want at a really good discount way down the road
