Grey Hulk Poll about Price/Es 179

[Viking28]

I would be P.O. ed if I had been quick enough to order it and then the edition size is raised, I say CANCEL THOSE ORDERS!!











So that I can have one off the waitlist!

I didn't vote, cause I don't want to tell SSC WHAT to do, but it's clear that they SHOULD do something to avoid these situations in the future. I belive they are smart enough to come up with a suitable and CLEAR solution to keep ALL their collectors happy.

Ok, I changed my mind: I'd like to have the AP Cave Troll they still have as a compenstion.

Increasing the ES is something I probably wouldn't have done, but choosing a odd number is pretty cool, and also a small strike against scalpers that put the Grey Hulk on Ebay days ago, stating a wrong ES of 150 now.
Personally I love the low edition sizes, but this unexpected adjustment of the ES (https://sideshowcollectors.com/forums/showpost.php?p=198175&postcount=256) , will make this piece even more notable in the future. SSC is building a legend here, even though some of us see this situation as a curse. The curse of the Grey Hulk. It will become a perception among collectors, if it hasn't already reached that status due to the Grey Hulk Vs. piece.

 

[Alice Adrenochrome]

Oh, I forgot: please close the wait list for the Grey Hulk PF NOW.

If they oversold then raising the edition to 29 was the right thing to do, its not much of an increase, but who cares about the edition size anyway.

I do care, among other collectors. But I agree: 29 is peanuts.

don't know if this has been posted but it's on Statue forum:

It is only 29 pieces guys......not the end of the world.

Hey all,

As I said even though we try to hit the mark everythime, we do make mistakes. I am sure if you compare the hundreds of products that we have brought to the market over the past fews years with the number of edition size issues, the screw up factor is extremely minimal.

Obviously, in our grey hulk alert posted from SF, the return by date should have been Aug. 9th not Aug 4th, too.

Best,
Chicky

...I like it Chicky, I think SS should rename it to the Damn it, I just missed it list

I agree! I love that name! The "Damn it! I just missed it!" List! :chew

 

[Vader AL]

i'm not worried...heck i could have been one that would have missed it otherwise. it shouldn't change the value.

 

[Bannister]

I agree! I love that name! The "Damn it! I just missed it!" List! :chew

There is also the less desirable, damn it I just missed it, was gonna flip it list.:chew

[Deadly Dagger]

Hell...make it 379...I don't care...me want HULK :baicon6:

 

[The Josh]

It is only 29 pieces guys......not the end of the world.

Yup

 

[ifu03612]

Why 179, why not round it up to a nice 180 and give a waitlister one. or even better a nice round 200 and make loadsa people happy. It is only an extra 50. Come on you know it makes sense.

 

[SolidLiquidFox]

All I know that the Gray Hulk Vs Spidey piece is looking that much cooler to me now in terms of collectibility.

 

[Khev]

They could have offered a "bump" system like airlines do to keep the ES at 150. In fact, they *still* could and I can't imagine anyone crying foul.

With airlines you give up your seat if the plane is overbooked to get a free ticket on the next flight (as I'm sure you all know.)

SS could say they need 29 volunteers to cancel the Grey Hulk order to get something free of equal or lesser value.

I'm sure 29 people would give it up to pay *nothing* for say a 1:1 bust or another large scale PF. Many flippers will just turn theirs over to effectively get one or more other collectibles w/the profit anyway. Offering a bump system gives them the same opportunity but keeps the ES nice and svelt at 150.

 

[FlyAndFight]

That's an interesting idea, Khev.

 

[occulum]

sure.
I'll "bump" mine for a FREE Darkness bust
