Heads up people. ....I just received my Processing email from SS on The Cleaner Sideshow Exclusive. It begins August 4th.
Only today, I got my possessing mail. Looks like I'll be charged on August 18th. I don't remember when this Predator went up for pre order, but I ordered it on May 16th. I usually order as soon as it is available if it is an exclusive - for obvious reasons! Yes, Sideshow makes the EU collectors wait a little longer, as usual!
I guess this is the first time I ordered the same figure twice. I already have the original release.
EDIT: I just remembered that I have two HT T-800's (regular and battle damaged), and two Majestic's Cylon Centurions (again regular and battle damaged)...! Two AvP Aliens, regular and brown version. Two Mauls (SSC and Medicom, so that probably doesn't count).
Oh, and I also ordered two SSC Stormtroopers...
One thing that sucked about these was that the so-called SSC Exclusive is now being sold by HT to overseas seller and they are putting them up on eBay. So much for only getting my Exclusives through SSC. Coulda had the "EX" a month or so ago.
I could be wrong, but I belive it is the other way around. The chestbuster was first offered to a select crowd in Asia, as a club exclusive I belive. Only after that, it was also offered by SSC as an SSC exclusive. Point is, the exclusive chestbuster was already fact from HT, before SSC decided to offer it also in the US. At least, that's how I think it is.
