Does anyone really take CBG seriously ? As far I can tell, everyone who wanted this statue ordered it the first day myself included. Then you had CBG come in and use his warped logic and self-deprecating stupidity to ***** about a $10 increase.He was also going to actually use some self-control and stick to he newly found principles and not order the statue. A Couple of days later he sees only a few HQ are left and so he buys it, only to cancel it the same night.Now he wants a representative from SS to offer him an explanation...on a statue he is not currently buying.At best the dude is a joke/troll at worst the thread becomes an analysis in regards to the way his mind works.
BTW, CBG for life yo!
CBG should be a Mod !!
You know I wouldn't be surprised if, in a time not to far from now, we don't have ANY SSC REPS around these parts. According to what i heard the community lost the sculptors who were around because people just can't be happy and have to go on and on. I have read a few people HOPING SSC ALEX will come into a thread and speak, but I don't blame her for not doing that. It isnt her job to take flack from annoyed fanboys. If I was her I would stay far away from this whinning and complaining... If she says glitch people call BS.. If she says it was a change of heart to I crease the ES because Harley is selling better then projected ... CBG explodes and people call trickery and BS... Total lose lose situation.
Spidey, at $350-$400 a statue, a sculpt should look INCREDIBLE. Why shouldn't consumers be able to vent? So what? I like CBG. These threads would certainly be a boring read if everyone were drinking the Koolaid like certain people all the time and saying "SS can do no wrong, they're just sooooooo amazing. I love them. Everything they do is simply perfect! Price increases and less bang for your dollar and a higher ES is fantastic!" Yes, SS is an AMAZING company, but they have messed up plenty of times in the past, and they actually THANKED their customers in their thank you vid for pushing them to do better. I think it is great that so many people dig SS but I also think it is great when people call them out. It forces them to do better. Harley is NOT one of their best nor was the Supes Ex (Reg Supes was brilliant though). But... they've done plenty of incredible pieces too. When they're good, they're spectacular. Leave CBG alone.

Spidey, your not shy about sharing your opinion, and I don't believe your ordering Harley either. These boards are not owned and ran by SSC, they use this (and SF) to further their own interests when it suits them. Would you rather this conversation was taking lace on their FB page, because it seems that this is the forum for this discussion(they delete comments they don't like also).
Dude, CBG is serious business. Don't make me block you.
In the end whether it was a glitch of a change of heart on the ES on SSCs part people should buy what they want to buy. People agonize over these decisions when there should be TWO main factors: do you want it, and can you afford it. Answer yes to BOTH then you buy it, answer no to either then you don't. Once you get past the learning curve this isn't brain surgery.
Some of us are balancing the cost against needs re other hobbies. Some of us have more than one hobby, but not endless cash.
[I know it would be great to have everyone behaving as you think they should behave all the time, but life is not like that.]
People dither because they're balancing things out in their heads, and meanwhile waiting on other stuff. I for one am kind of waiting to see what HT does re Man of Steel. If they're doing several figures for that, I might want to put the money I would use for this PF over there. Decisions.
They often do not come easily.
The people criticizing spidey976 posts need lessons in reading comprehension.Example : should I buy HT dolls or a statue? That decision isn't brain surgery...
Oh look only 10 left GO BUY NOW HYPE HYPE HYPE
Either ppl complain about SS or complain about complaining about SS or complain about people complaining about complaining about SS.
Other than that its been CBG and nipples.
Congratulations. No wonder SS doesn't respond on these forums.
Off topic, I didn't know ray manzarek died. The Doors are one of my favourite band.
