The Boot
Super Freak
Keep in mind that Toys2 sometimes "restocks" their pre-orders. It happened with The Joker just a few weeks ago...

Not that you should debate for too long, but still...

Actually, BBTS did that as well with the HT Batman and Joker figures. I was watching the inventory levels for a while, and they shot up by 25 in a short period of time once. And they STILL haven't sold out of the preorders even though several weeks ago it looked like they were going to sell out soon, given how fast they were going down. So that certainly does happen sometimes. But then again, sometimes if you don't order you just lose out, like with some of the Predator figures.

You really should reconsider the "dolls" though. I don't see a Tumbler bust anytime soon.

I highly doubt the Pod will have the capability of moving sideways. These toys are for display purposes soley. The wheels rotate, that's about it, as a display piece it doesn't even need to do that, and it has some lights. Really it's whoopee do.
The plastic will be light weight, though sturdy, and it having thin delicate parts, wont stand up to much play. It is nice that it is detailed an accurate, but I still think these are overpriced. It's not as if Hot Toys openly has their edition sizes listed in their product descriptions, so as collectors, we have no way of knowing how urgent it is to purchase their items. They rely on pre-order scrambling, non disclosure and hype.
They are toted as being the kings of 1/6th, but their quality control isn't as good as it appears. It is marvelous that they put these things together, but they don't seem to research what problems are likely to be encountered by their customers and rectify them before they go into production. I'm not saying they're not cool, just that they aren't hot, like their prices are.

Hey Creecher are you get either the Pod or Tumbler? I'm hoping ABC Express gets them... Either way I'll have to get these for a HK based seller! Recommend any?
You do know Sideshow will be distrubting the Iron Man figures right?

ABC is the one I use, but with their name being thrown about so much, you have to be quicker and quicker to get your order in. So keep it quiet people.
I'll be checking out as many as possible before I put in an order. Cheapest speaks louder to me than anything with these items.
Someone said they smelled a scam about ten pages ago, when I read it this morning. That was no purposeful scam. That was an on line vendor using creative marketing. It might have been 'Good Shipped'. I have bought from them as well. I think most of these guys have been around for a long time and are reliable. Things can go wrong with anyone, anytime, and headaches are a hassle, particularly with language barriers. The higher payments mean higher risk loss, take out insurance and be prepared for a tumble. Ho ho ho.
Just do the usual, check their rating, see what negatives and neutrals are for, then hit the button, and sweat it out.
Yes I would love to have them, and figures look good with insane accessories/diorama add ons, but I'm not letting the hype get to me. I want a Fist of Fury Bruce first, so priorities is my master. Takara Indy, Enterbay Jackie Chan. Who cares about Batman.
. Might push for the Pod.

You do know the Wanderer is from Manchester right. That is in England, yeah? Why would he want to order from Sideshow? Doh!
LOL!
I hear what your saying Creech, cheaper does sound nicer to me too...however whats yours views on the big difference in price between, say toys2 (Tumbler - £330.00 shipped to England) and goodshipped (£250.00 shipped) Thats a big difference in price. Makes me wary of the ebay sellers to a degree...
True I think I'll be waiting for abc express too
