How come SSC is not listing the regular edition statues for pre-orders?

Just realize SSC hasn't been posting the regular pre-order statues. The only thing that are posted are the exclusives now.

Is there a reason for this? I sometimes buy both versions (example Emma frost LSB) & if they are doing this to move the EX, it will become a hassle now.

I would like the option to order both when it comes up at the same time or change the 1 per customer policy to 2 (for the exclusives). :lecture
 
I believe they still come up when you do the archive search. I think it was "Nam" who suggested that they may want to sell out of the Exclusives first now before falling back on the regular editions. Makes sense I suppose. Also, I believe this is being talked about in one of the other threads here too.

It doesn't come up in the search. Only the EX does.
 
No comment on the site search thing, but thats a weird desire to want both versions and pay full price for the regular plus shipping to Canada. Isn't it a lot cheaper for you to buy the regular edition locally?

Edit: I wonder if making the regular more difficult to find on the site is something they are trying to do to help out their distributors and etailers.

My LCS charges ridiculous prices. Its better off getting from SSC. :eek:
 
just remove the last '1' from the exclusive link (the sku= one) :) then you'll get the link for the regular ;)

That's absolutely ridiculous you have to do that to search for the regular edition! :monkey4

Can't SSC just leave it the way it was before?


When you type in the name, it leads to the EX. You have to change the "1" to a "0" to get the regular. Kind of odd or should I say stupid to do this extra process? :dunno

The web page has so many problems now. Either bring back the old site, or make a new one.

Yup. Sometimes change isn't a good thing. I honestly stopped looking at the SS page or newsletter and just search for new products here.

If you're logged in and search through the archive page, you can find anything. It's really not that difficult and it's their prerogative how they choose to market their product.
 
Well the Dead Space statue is up for order, ONLY THE EX IS LISTED, the seach function leads only to the production blog part ad come up with the buy from these links thingy only there is no links appearing.
 
This is getting absolutely ignoring now! When I replace the "1" with the "0", it defaults back to the SSC home page. C'mon SSC, why are you guys messing with this? :mad:

Like the Newsletter, leave the bloody thing alone when it was working fine to begin with! Why on earth would you guys make it more difficult to search for things? Keep it simple!
 
Just contacted Jennifer at SSC. If you guys want to complaint about this or the Newsletter set-up, please email her [email protected] and voice it. It will be forwarded to there web department. Hopefully with enough complaints, they will change it.
 
I haven't been following - but why would anyone order the regular from the website when the exclusive is available?

I can't imagine anyone complaining about that.

Sometimes I buy both versions (Emma Frost LSB) because they only allow you to buy 1 EX. If the sculpt is good, I will buy 2. I don't want to wait until the EX to be sold out then place an order for the regular. It just becomes a hassle. :eek:
