Hot Toys "RoboCop (Battle Damaged Ver) & Alex Murphy Collectible Figures Set

Hmmm, very interesting. Let's wait and see if either of these go back in stock.

I'm guessing Howard saw all of the unsold Clean Robo and Robo in Chair sets gathering dust on shelves and HT made a lot less of the BD version but who knows?

Whether or not anybody is up to any duplicity with the discount codes, this set is 100% worth paying full price.

It's fantastic.

Anyone's wait list convert yet? I wanted this when it was first released but kept putting it off because I have the clean version. I just don't wanna miss out on this set. Their discount code did not convert for me - not sure if it's because this went to wait list status.

The BD Robo and Murphy set are on WL. The standalone BD Robo is sold out.

It's still available at BBTS the single and 2 pack, probably cheaper shipping than sideshow.

yeah but why did it went to WL so fast? I would think the reason why they give out codes because they have lots in stock that was collecting dust.

It's happened with other figure sets and big ticket items that are still in stock to this day.

1. Holiday discount, ___% off!
2. Emails sent
3. Put items on Wait list

People see the email, go to get the deal. They see it's waitlisted. Customers think they've missed out and maybe they decide to jump on wait list. Then it converts and goes back to "in stock" and Sideshow got customers that paid $480 shipped for the set. Rinse and repeat.


Here are all their in stock figures that have been waitlisted in the past with deals or otherwise,


Arkham Batman
Robocop
Robocop w/ chair
Marty McFly
Captain America
Captain America and Steve Rogers
Batman, Bruce, Alfred Armory
Batman, Alfred Armory
Batman armory




Same reason why they have the occasional free give away or limited/exclusive 40%-50% off emails. People see that and think "hey, I want that, I want to try and win or get that discount". They're not able to however, so maybe they say screw it and pony up the cash to pay the regular price. That's been the case for all of the above anyway.


OR, it's honestly been waitlisted because that small time framed email generated a lot of interest and they've ran out of stock. Who knows.

I hope this will still be available in the new year because I'm honestly thinking about canceling my reservation. If it comes up available starting in December, that's a lot of cash to shell out on top of everything else I am expecting that month. January will be better, but I don't want to miss out on this set.

That's what I get for letting it go to wait list and not at least starting some sort of payment process when it first came out.

FWIW, both sets are still available for retail at BBTS. There are options other than Sideshow.

Yeah, it just means paying full price. That $440 up front would be quite a hit to the finances with everything else. Thanks, though - I might have to consider those if SS falls through.

You can always get these at Popcultcha. They're not on sale there now but considering how poorly the Australian dollar is doing, there will likely be good deals to be had in the near future. It also still has figures that have sold out everywhere else.

Re: Hot Toys "RoboCop (Battle Damaged Ver) & Alex Murphy Collectible Figures Set

Appreciate you mentioning that option. I heard about Popcultcha at least once here, but never checked their site. Definitely looks like a good alternative. Thanks!

Re: Hot Toys "RoboCop (Battle Damaged Ver) & Alex Murphy Collectible Figures Set

OK, i feel better now...

Just placed an order for these two guys through popcultcha (They're having a sitewide 20% off sale) and it came to $357 shipped to Michigan. VERY excited!

No problem. Hope you get the Robo you're looking for.

Re: Hot Toys "RoboCop (Battle Damaged Ver) & Alex Murphy Collectible Figures Set

I decided to pull the trigger with popcultcha, $340 shipped for the Robo/Murphy two pack. $170 a figure isn't bad for what I personally think is figure/s of the year. Never bought from Australia before.

Re: Hot Toys "RoboCop (Battle Damaged Ver) & Alex Murphy Collectible Figures Set

Got robo by himself, kinda want Murphy but display case is already full and the extra $120 just didn't sound too good(almost bought asm 2 for $170 though)

Re: Hot Toys "RoboCop (Battle Damaged Ver) & Alex Murphy Collectible Figures Set

also placed an order fro the 2pack with popcultcha. It's been a crappy blackfriday, but this was sort of worth it.
