If you know anyone who would want it, by all means send them my way. It just sits in the closet.

 

[JamesHBK]

I'll ask around for you.

I'm getting so impatient waiting for this figure now and I bet they push it back further to accomodate the release of Wolverine instead

 

[DocTroy]

Like I've mentioned before the price tag doesn't justify the limited stuff that comes with this... but I still want him. Damn.

More than anything I want a better base/stand! More and more of HT figures these days come with a special display base, so this one is gonna look silly next to them on a normal stand.

I would also like a backpack and loose mask.

Failing that the price should come down!

a portion of a crane or a skyscraper glass building like Oscorp or a suspended sewer web would've made the value better

Too much work. HT's lazy, remember. They just want money money money... OUR money!


j/k I know that they have to cover costs like production cost, licensing fee, etc.

Been meaning to ask you this for some time but what does "Cyclops was right" on your sig mean? What was the discussion?

Ongoing comic story in which Cyclops believed Hope (a character) would bring about the restoration of the Mutant race which was decimate to less than a thousand worldwide.

Events happened that was about to restore the mutant race, then another group of heroes involved themselves and made matters worse, in the end they were restored by Hope, but there was a lot of collatoral damage and Cyclops is now seen as villainous

Ordered the Game

There answer would be that he's not a DX figure!

 

[Jme_c]

Hmm, I see Spidey has been changed from February to "1st Quarter of 2013" so that basically means March if you're lucky but more than likely pushed back even further!

If you look around their website, they changed EVERYTHING yesterday from a specific month to a quarter. So Black Widow, Thor, Loki and Joker all say "1st Qtr 2013" instead of January or February.

I'm guessing it's a change in company policy, probably because they're tired of people calling/emailing them about release dates, and people *****ing about the dates being pushed back.

So now we wait.

 

[DGTWoodward]

I suspect that you are correct. Luckily, when you order via FLEX, you get a month by month list of payments, for eg if you Flex'ed him tonight it would show you this...

Dec 25 2012 $68.33
Jan 25 2013 $68.33
Feb 25 2013 $68.33

It expects Feb to be the month for shipping this out to customers. What was it before?

 

[The Mike]

Even that is theoretical. SSC simply does 3 payments month by month, even it it was delayed until April for example, they'd charge the first two in order and then email the delay on the last.

This seems like a legitimate reason. Can't really fault them for it either.

Well it has happened to me exactly as you describe it (Cap:A or Hawkeye anyone?) with the 'delayed' emails sent notifying me of the date change. I did only as a theoretical exercise to show what should happen without any problems, so, that's OK.

 

[Jme_c]

He'll be delayed, things are way too quiet regarding this figure.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

^ are things meant to be loud?

Should've heard the death metal around the Cap thread before he was released.
