Hello from Toy Anxiety!!

[kl241]

Sadly, I think that was Sideshow's intention all along to eliminate us buying from places like TA at a discount.

This is not good because they are your competitors

you guys should order full boxed figures from Big Bad Toy Store.

They always have a ridiculous amount of each figure.

Last time I checked, they had 145 DX08 Jokers still in stock

If you could buy under a ghost account, this would be an option for you TA

Fk SSC.

 

[kl241]

Pretty sure Big Bad gets their orders from Sideshow.

 

[EVILFACE]

Yea BBTS gets their stock from Sideshow and would not get a merchant discount.

 

[Toy Anxiety]

Pretty sure BBTS has other sources besides SSC, but we appreciate your support fellas.

I'm no Rocket Scientist, and they ARE your competitors....but shoot if they have THAT many of a certain figure in stock, couldn't you talk to them, be honest with them and see if they'd be cool with you buying some figures from them? I don't know how much whole sale price is and if you were to buy most figures at retail if you'd still make much of a profit selling the breakdowns.

I dunno, at least you CAN go into BBTS website and see what they have in stock.

Sideshow opened up their retailers network a few years ago and now they are doing everything they can to eliminate the competition THEY THEMSELVES promoted. Unbelievable.

[Raymond F.]

What parts were you looking for?

I was just peicing him together because i figured with extra body's I already had and that I didn't need that big dumb stand i could just get it all for under the stupid asking price of 240 bucks, and I did.

I won some bids on eBay, just needed a few things like the jacket and the claws.

Update incoming but first a little business.

Hello everyone. For all those who pre order 1:6 items from us, we would like to take a moment to discuss the future of our Pre Order program. Because we are getting our orders cut from Sideshow,
and since selling parts is our strongest niche, we will no longer be offering pre-orders on most boxed figures. It has been discussed and decided after careful thought by all of us here that this is our best
course of action until such day as we no longer have a limit to what we can order. This is difficult as some of you may have come to rely on us to have boxed figures at pre-order, but even more so
there are many people who rely on us to have figures to part out. Lately, we're selling out of said parts extremely fast with a continued demand for items we no longer have. Likewise, we have decided to
refrain from any future Pre-Order Part Outs. With what happened regarding the Joker 2.0 where we didn't even get enough to fulfill all our pre-orders with the first batch shipped to us, it became very confusing
on our part to manage these orders. Though we'd love to give ourselves credit for handling it properly, I think there was a little luck in there too. Figures that we do not intend to part out will continue to be
offered at pre order for the time being such as most Iron Man figures, but at a more limited quantity. Thank you all for your patience and understanding in this gloomy time of Sideshow order cuts.

On another note, we had intended to part out the ThreeA Halo Commander Carter, but it turns out it is not possible to remove all the armor from the rubber body suit underneath. Though there are a few good
separate accessories, we cannot justify the part out. Therefore, only boxed figures will be available.

Very sad. You guys were my go-to pre-order site . Oh well at least Robo and ED are being offered.

My guess is they are sub-distributing for sideshow and servicing part of their retail network as those numbers wouldn't make sense otherwise.

Incidentally that totals to $381,806.01 with the lowest shipping quote at $12,589.39 with next day air a paltry $83,915.99.

 

[galactiboy]

Bummer that Sideshow is taking this direction with retailers... I have a feeling we are on the brink of a major price hike and with no alternatives to get even a minor discount I fear many will drop out of the hobby.

I'm pleased that I have most of the figures I've wanted to be made in 1/6, so at the end of the day if HT, Sideshow and others become to greedy I can just walk away.

 

[Ironman1188]

We'll let it go this time, but don't let it happen again.





I remember watching reruns of I Spy...Great show that still holds up even today. Love this Kelly Robinson custom....nice pic...looks like he's really at a tennis court.

Thanks! I really tried to make it so. Unfortunately, I lost some picture clarity on the sculpt because I had to use my cell phone, but I think it helped the overall scene.

SSC hang your ******ing heads in shame!

How dare they treat TA like this, its not like they are profiteering like some people on ebay.

 

[EXOTICLEX]

Would explain why BBTS has no cancellation fees.
