Hot Toys - Iron Man 3 - Mark XXXIX / Starboost

[YankeesFanboy]

I dunno, I just got Strike Suit Cap for $239 shipped, less then 5% above SS. I've seen decent prices for Star Lord (non exclusive) and Gemini as well. Granted most prices are bend you over inflated but some do exist should one wish to venture to the dark side.

Yeah, there are deals to be had here and there, I was just going by timcent and other sellers.

When did this go to waitlist?

The containers are there. The dockworkers are purposely holding up the work. No one has stopped shipping. That's asinine to even consider. And I can guarantee you that no one is more stressed about the situation than the poor souls in SS's customer service department.



I get that everyone's anxious to get their toys and all. I have Starboost, Hot Rod, Rex, Cap/Rogers, Starlord, Artoo, and Falcon sitting there in containers, just like the rest of you. But there are things that happen that are beyond the control of any business. Getting in a toot about it accomplishes nothing, and raging about it says nothing about Sideshow and everything about the person doing the raging.

Collectors and Sideshow are all in this snafu together. Mutual support and understanding will go a good deal further than petty insults and armchair quarterbacking.

Personally, I intend to shrug my shoulders, drink this mimosa, and think positive thoughts about the New Year. Like how it's gonna be like Christmas all over again once those containers are released.

I don't think anyone has blamed Sideshow because obviously if they could get it out, they would. There's a legitimate reason to be annoyed though if something you buy for delivery in October isn't released until April.

Yesterday I think, not very long ago anyway.

I think this is like the third or fourth one. It throws off my flex pay budget when they keep doing this.

The ***** up thing is for those of us who don't flex pay all our orders we are gonna get slammed with all the charges at once...that's gonna suck and I might just cancel my orders, I can't afford to get hit with a 1500$ charge at once because of backed up orders...smh

I wish they would give the option for flex/regular payers to pay on the scheduled date. I have a few days now with four or five payments on it

I don't understand something.

If I had a payment due on the 15th of December and if that item was delayed and that payment date was moved I would just write that money off and not worry about it.

So I don't get why a payment being deducted at a later date is a problem.

Do you say, well they didn't take that $66 so I'll spend it on something else??

If you have that many flex pay figures pre-ordered and don't want to deal with a bunch of money floating around in your checking account, why not set up a savings account and if the payment gets moved, just put the money in savings.

I can only imagine when this will arrive at Corner Store. We'll all be wearing ACTUAL Gemini armors by then.

isnt this guy out in HK? I thought it was but I checked Loonentoys on eBay and some others and it still says PO. I am just going to order from HK because it might take a longer time now

Yep, it's been out in HK for a few weeks now. That's why Danoby, Ducatiboy, Sean Long and Shartimus all have theirs already.

I wouldn't go by Loonten, it got its Robos AFTER Sideshow did.

I have my charges set up through a credit card, so I don't have to worry about the money being present, I go by dates of release to budget myself accordingly, say 1-2 figures a month for January, February, March....so each month I'll have a 200-450$ charge on my card, that's cool...I can pay that off and my wife won't freak about seeing that for three months because is spread out, now if January/February's releases get pushed to March along with THE releases of that month, I'll have a charge of over 1k for toys, I'll have all these boxes being shipped home at once, besides the freak out I'll have to deal with from my wife, I'll now have to deal with that big charge coming in at once, is that clear enough?

Is much easier to pay off 400$ than 1600$ and definitely less interest when using a credit card

 

[ksteezy]

And yeah now that I think about it, pushing back an item like cap that literally dropped for sale in November I believe all the way to April is outrageous no matter what the reason may be, it's coming from China, NOT From another Galaxy....

I still don't get it. This may sound insulting but isn't your wife smart enough to realize that four monthly $400 payments are the same as one $1600 payment?

As for the interests I also don't get that.

If you have a $400 payment in January and it gets moved to February due to a product delay, why not just put the $400 in the bank and save it until the 2 payments hit.

The way some of you complain about paying for these collectables makes you sound financially irresponsible.


I could understand if SSC moved up your payment schedule, but they are extending it. Either you have the money or don't, paying it at a later date shouldn't be an issue.

The reason that sounds insulting is because it is extremely insulting to say someone else's wife isn't smart.

I was originally going to get the Trooper case and fill it with a red and black themed build.... but I instead went for a White case with blue themed build..... and then finally settled on a white case(Stryker) with a White/Red themed build(in progress)

anyway, thats a very nice PC you have there

I see.... yeah I might just wait until UK shops get it

Bro, why do you still give them your business?

 

[YankeesFanboy]

Because I hadn't heard about their troubles (with Sideshow? with Hot Toys?) until AFTER I had paid in full.

 

[Medusoid]

I really want to order this, but I don't have the money right now. I hope some stores still have it in a month or two.
