Delete your temporary internet files? I don't know. That's plain weird.

Well according to the article that was posted her about that scalper, he was paying them to stand in line, plus the cost of the figure.

https://www.actionfigureinsider.com...07/11-scale-scum-and-villian-scalpers-in.html

"The local news claims that he spent 1700 HKD or 219 USD per person to get him 1 set of figures, before paying the 1380 HKD x 3 for the set of figures itself. That is 5840 HKD or 753 USD for the set! He is scalping it for 8500 HKD a set or 1096 USD which nets him a profit of 343.77 USD or 2664 HKD. He has approximately 100 - 450+ sets."

So he paid each person $219 to pick up both Batman and The Predator.

My only hope is now that SSC is getting them, he'll wind up sitting on a bunch of figures he can't sell to break even.
 
For those who are getting redirected to Sideshow's streamline page, simply backspace the characters in your browser's address bar, after "sideshowtoy.com/" and press enter. That should solve the problem, and you should get redirected to Sideshow's normal site.

So from this originally:

https://www.sideshowtoy.com/cgi-bin/streamline.pl

just backspace up to here, and press enter

https://www.sideshowtoy.com/

I did that and I still get redirected to the stream line page :monkey2
 
I'm kinda not feeling bad for the people paying outrageous prices on eBay. They clearly aren't true collectors or they'd know better. They get what they deserve.
 
Strange, I was having the same problem as you, until I manually entered the address. Well, try clicking on the second link that I posted up. See if that redirects you to Sideshow.

They probably just don't have their hands on the right information or are just too impatient to wait until October for it to ship.



I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY WE CAN'T ORDER 2 YET!?!?!

I wouldn't really say that. There are some people who really want this figure, and ordering from Sideshow isn't an option for them. There are just hordes of Hot Toys fans in Asia who'll never get their hands on this, except via a scalper :slap.

Off topic, I really like your signature. The Crow is one of my favorite movies.

Which reminds me, what are the chances Hot Toys does The Crow?
 
I know it'd be the 23rd thread title change but for the sake of consistency I think this should be named Hot Toys MMS?? Batman/Bruce Wayne etc etc
 
I don't think they were being paid collective bargained union wages thru arbitration with full retirement and health insurance packages and stock options :lol

:lecture:lecture:lecture:exactly: I highly doubt that article's accurate with the payment details. $219 for a day in line, in a country where the standard wage for a day isn't even half that, seems a bit eccentric.

I'm not sure it would be a profitable venture. Especially since most of the Crow psychos from the 90's have moved on to Ledger's Joker. Though I'm more than certain there's a small handfull of 400lb, unbathed, long haired throwbacks who still sport that a___ray-smelling leather trench that'd be attempting backflips if HT does.
