How many Non Attendee Sith Ani's were offered?

[darth dypshyt]

They never revealed how many of the Hellboys last year went to non-attendees and for international dealers. 6000 is a lot for a convention exclusive, but why not have enough for everyone that wants one?

Fair enough Dave....But, then if everyone who wants one...gets one...

It's hardly EXCLUSIVE, is it???

 

[abstractharmony]

Of course its Exclusive.

There are only 6000 pieces - no more, no less. It's an SDCC exclusive because it was manufacture FOR the SSC appearance at the SDCC.

 

[B-Electronic]

If it isnt the sculpting thats wrong, its the edition size. And weather it's limited to 100 or 10.000 it's never the correct amount. All I know is that I've managed to secure me the SDCC exclusive and I'm damn happy about it

Exactly which is why it is a SDCC Exclusive.

 

[Darth Loki]

Who cares how many went to non-attendees? It seems like enough because I haven't seen too many people bitching that they weren't able to get it.

 

[RoboDad]

Exactly which is why it is a SDCC Exclusive.

Here we go again.

If I decide to call a Porsche a Ferrari, that doesn't make it one. It's still a Porsche. Of course, there's nothing at all wrong with having a Porsche, however.

Whatever

Whatever

Come on, Josh. I was just trying to have a little fun. I know you consider it a true SDCC exclusive, and that's cool. Some of us just define exclusive a little differently than you do. No need to roll your eyes at us.

Come on, Josh. I was just trying to have a little fun. I know you consider it a true SDCC exclusive, and that's cool. Some of us just define exclusive a little differently than you do. No need to roll your eyes at us.

That's fine you can define excluisve differently but this is an item you can only get through SS for SDCC event. You can't go to Wizard World, Gen Con, TF, etc. and get this item. So you can choose to define it however you want but it's a SDCC Exclusive no matter how you slice it.

Edit: I'll use the GG Vader Bust up that's being sold at conventions. You can get that at any Convention which is why they call it a Convention Exclusive. Not an exclusive to a single event. GG will do what SS does with their ShockTrooper Bust after SDCC they will sell some to members of their Collectors Club. It's an excluisve to that particular event which can also be bought (certain amount) by those not going before or after the event. That doesn't make it not an exclusive anymore.

 

[RoboDad]

That's fine you can define excluisve differently but this is an item you can only get through SS for SDCC event. You can't go to Wizard World, Gen Con, TF, etc. and get this item.

But you can also get it if you've never even heard of SDCC, without going to the event. Sure, the timing of the release coincides with the event, but the item could be bought elsewhere (Sideshow's web site).

So you can choose to define it however you want but it's a SDCC Exclusive no matter how you slice it.

No, that's your opinion, not an indisputable fact. No matter how you slice it.

 

[Darth Loki]

Wow, who cares? Seriously, we're all getting the Sith Ani. It's a cool varient of an existing item. Is it an exclusive, yes and no. It's exlcusive to the event but not to attendees. I hope this makes you both happy, but more than likely it'll do the oposite.

 

[The Josh]

But you can also get it if you've never even heard of SDCC, without going to the event. Sure, the timing of the release coincides with the event, but the item could be bought elsewhere (Sideshow's web site).

Actually, the only place you can buy it if you're going or not is SS website. The item coincides with the event correct but no OTHER event which is why this item is a SDCC Exclusive. As I said you can't get it at any other Convention this year because SS won't be selling it AT that event or on THEIR site for said event. Which is why this item is a SDCC Exclusive. It really doesn't matter if you've never heard of SDCC at all because if you've only heard of WW you still can't get the Vader for WW only through SS site for the SDCC Event.

No, that's your opinion, not an indisputable fact. No matter how you slice it.

No, it's a fact Robo. You cannot get this item at or for any other event this year. It doesn't matter if you go or not. If you've never heard of SDCC or not. If you wanted to buy the item at SDCC (which you can't) or on SS site. This item is to go in association with the SDCC Event. Not Wizard World, Gen Con, your local state fair, whatever the muck event is going on. As I said unlike GG Vader Bust up with the flames at the bottom is a Convention Exclusive they are taking to EVERY convention. This SS Vader is only for SDCC NOT any other event even if you can pick it up on SS site and you've never heard of SDCC. So you can try to define it how you choose but it's a fact this item is a SDCC Excluisve because you CANNOT get this anywhere but through SS for the SDCC Event.

 

[The Josh]

It's exlcusive to the event but not to attendees.[/SIZE]

Exactly! That's all I'm saying. It's an exclusive to the event not to those of us going.

 

[RoboDad]

It all comes down to how the word "exclusive" is used in the collecting world. I guess the problem is that it is used to mean different things at different times.

I concede that, in the same sense as a newspaper "exclusive", the Vader figure is an SDCC exclusive, meaning that it was available to attendee's first. It's just that that word is so overused these days (not just by Sideshow, but by a lot of companies), that it almost has no meaning any more.

 

[The Josh]

I agree the word exclusive is over used. It's a show excluisve not an attendee exclusive is the best way to think about it.

 

[RoboDad]

I agree the word exclusive is over used. It's a show excluisve not an attendee exclusive is the best way to think about it.

Exactly. My first reaction when I hear the word is to assume that it is an attendee exclusive, because these companies have so conditioned me. I'm like Pavlov's RoboDog.

 

[TOE]

what do you guys consider as an exclusive amount?? 1000-2000?? But more importanly, if you got what you wanted just be happy that you got it. This way you wouldn't have to spend so much time searching on ebay later on. :emperor

 

[EVILFACE]

The exclusive amount means nothing, it could be 50-10000. Exclusive means you can only get it direct from Sideshow.

 

[The Josh]

I'm like Pavlov's RoboDog.

Aren't we all. Which is why the newsletter each week is such an event.

As far as an amount I'd say something south of 3k. That's how I am though ST. I'm more than happy to have a SDCC Vader coming and could care less if has an ES of 6k or 600k.

 

[galactiboy]

I think exclusivity also depends on the property. 666 seems to be good for Jason figures (even though they take a while to sell out) but that would never cut it for Star Wars, the numbers they have now 1250-2000 seem a lot better. I do think that 6000 is a huge number, but I imagine there are a lot of collectors that maybe will only have the SW figures that they pick up at cons, so not only are the regulars going for the figure, but the con attendees as well.

It will be interesting to see where this figure goes in terms of value once its on the market. But, either way I'm happy I was able to get a non-attendee release after 32 minutes of busy signals
