Looks like mine is scheduled to convert on the 16th. 17:03:31

Whew~* Sigh of relief.

[xenofreak]

congrats to everyone. Just maybe the Ebay flippers might have to sell theirs for less than retail!

 

[SolidLiquidFox]

I think Sideshow saw the demand and said to hell with the low ES.

 

[Commtech]

Seriously though, I'm glad that many Freaks are getting converted (especially the most active ones). That's less Predators for those ebay sellers with preorders.

 

[SilentSurfer]

Mine converted too. So, what does this mean? I seriously doubt this many people cancelled their orders.

Seems more like this isn't going to be as limited as it seemed, which many of us suspected early on.

The real question is, what is the final eBay value going to be on these since they now seem more plentiful?

nah. it's not up to SSC. HT calls all the shots when it comes to edition sizes.
HT probably just didn't ship all of them in time for the streamline and SSC was playing it safe until the rest showed up in the warehouse.

I am curious about what happened too. I would have thought my chances at getting this was close to nil, as I would never fork out $600+ for any figure, even one as cool as this.

Conversions for folks on wait lists after 5 minutes? 300 ES? Other shows got this too?

It would be interesting to know how many Sideshow got. That's the beauty of these unnumbered figures from a business point of view.

Must be something like that as Sideshow just converted me to "Shipping Soon" status as well!

Crazy...unless there really were a bunch of last minute cancels. Maybe folks got scared or saw the new Berserker? :

True. The waitlist system allowed them to line us up by times and as the full shipment came in, they would convert us accordingly. Thats what I think anyways!

 

[Vaako]

i'm waitlisted at 7 minutes so i had no hope for this figure and was planning on buying one on evilbay but i guess i'll wait some longer until my waitlist converts or the toyfairs are over

I think the Sideshow allotment just went from 200 up to 500...

First off, grats to everyone else converting. Second, I am super excited that the Guardian gets to join Machiko and P1!

I am thinking that the people who bought this for $600-$800 on eBay are a bit sick to the stomach right now...and the people who had offers of $400-$600 and turned them down are really feeling butthurt. I knew prices were going to fall a bit once the Asian Toyfares hit and once the awesomeness of the Berserker was show, but now that Sideshow is converting so many, I look forward to the cost of this thing torpedoing. I gotta say, God provided by the deal with another member not fanning out.



On a sidenote: Blade, you were right and I am kinda glad that your advice {chiding} helped calm my jets on this. We both get one now bro.

 

[firefly2121]

Just got mine converted 20 minutes ago....

 

[boochydog]

i was just was notified about the convert tonight!!!

order placed at 2010-07-02 17:02:58.

 

[seniram6]

17:02:13 converted!

 

[a-dev]

HOLY SH**! MY WAITLIST CONVERTED! YEAH, BABY, YEAH!



Ahem, um... time for anyone who's wondering was 17:02:40. So... the confirmation is scheduled to happen this Friday. Frick, yeah!​

Excellent, I'm very pleased for you especially since you were the one who persuaded me to get this one. Kinda seemed unfair that I'd had mine converted and yours hadn't.
