Didn't you order from Sideshow? How do you know the order is going to the warehouse?

I'm starting to think maybe the Wolf's are hung up in customs or something, I would have thought they should have gone out yesterday, but this happened with the Power Loader too, Sideshow sent out notices and it took a bit longer than the 3-5 days from the email before they arrived, they were hung up in customs.

Sideshow

That's what Kathy told me after I paid fot it.She also said it would go out within three business days.So it sounds to me like it's there.
 
Also,I had ordered it the same time as everyone else,but I did not have the cash to pay for it right when Sideshow started charging cards.I had to wait until today,which is the last day I might add,that I had before my order went to someone else.
 
I thought we'd be getting our notices this week...oh well....hopefully next week then! I want 'em NOW!
 
I feel REALLY bad a bunch of you guys haven't gotten your Wolfs yet.. Ridiculous really.. I got mine from toys2 almost a month or so ago I think.. It's been a while, can't remember really..

That's nothing new. 9 times out of 10 Toys2 receives HT products at least a month in advance of Sideshow, and it seems like a lot of shops in the U.S. receive this stuff through Sideshow so until SSC gets it, they won't get their alotment. He'll be shipping any day now from SSC. Considering the price and breakage reports, I'm more content waiting it out with SSC and knowing I pay a little less and have good support if there's an issue than getting it sooner for more money and having a hastle if there's a problem.

Whatever works for you brother.. lol

My total when I preordered came out to $160 something with shipping.. It was a no brainer imo.
 
I generally order my Hot Toys items direct from the Hong Kong retailers because they usually get their allotment slightly more than a month before SS, sometimes even as long as 2 months before! Yes, I do pay more, but not much more. Probably $10 or $20 more. For my Wolf Preds, I received both of them around mid-March.

For any QC issues, Hot Toys are usually quite cool with these. For example, they replaced parts of my Eliz Swann figure when I wrote in to them.

For SS items, of course getting them direct from SS will be the best option.
 
Unless i'm really anxious for a figure, $10 extra to go some other places is enough to make me wait. It's not much against $150 figure, but lately I average about 15 1/6 figures per year, done out that $10 saved can mean another figure or 2 and is worth it. SSC isn't always cheapest on things either and i could save more, but I also like to know I've got CS that will cover me, as well as a comfy cancellation policy if I change my mind or don't have funds when something ships. SSC is the best I've dealt with as far as buying things so that's why I stick with them or Toys2 for the stuff I can't get elsewhere or really want ahead of time.
 
I must agree that SS's no-fuss Cancellation Policy is a very big plus point. I have cancelled just one pre-order I had with SS and it was a breeze to do so.

The only thing I don't rate SS very highly is the long lead time for them to receive their shipment, especially Hot Toys products. I am a big Pred fan and I usually want these babies in hand as soon as they are out in the market! For other items, I can wait.

Most of the time, you're right they're late in the game with HT, I think the P2 BD figure was actually close to even Toys2, but a lot of stuff is usually a month later, Rambo 3 was actually early to Sideshow and late to Toys2. I go to Toys 2 if I can't wait, like I did with ALIENS Warrior, Jack Sparrow and Rambo 3 which backfired. I didn't want Wolf too badly until lately seeing the pictures, and partly after getting my BD P2 because that's my only HT Pred so I didn't know how much I would enjoy them.
 
YEah, but for me shipping from toys2.net is high.
The nly reason I ordered from alterego was because it only takes about 2 days to arrive at my home.
 
Shipping is high from Toys3 for me too, $20 is the cheapest. Like I said, only stuff I really really want ahead of others do I go there for, or items I can't get from anywhere I trust besides them.
 
That's what I paid for an AVP snap kit. Now remeber that the package is the size of a computer mouse, y'a know the thing you use to click stuff on the computer screen.

I hate paying more for shipping for an item I can get from a place in the states that'll get them later than HK.
