HT Batman Begins - Batman/Wayne TF Ex.

[BISHART]

Grr, still can't view my account, placed orders, or even buy/preorder other items off Sideshow's website. Keeps directing me to the Batman/ShadowPredator Streamlined page. Maybe someone forgot to switch the site back before they went home for the weekend?

safari > empty cache > refresh. try that

The only one's that can tell you why they bought off eBay are the people that did. And I sure they have different reasons, from wanting it now to maybe the only way they can order it. What does it matter?

Sometimes even the most obvious shouldn't be pointed out in order to be more polite.

Respect seems to be a thing that's long lost and forgotten nowadays. You have to give it to get it. Now you seem to get idiots calling other people idiots because they don't know or severely ill misinformed information.

Then there's generalizing because they assume everyone is like them. Look at Governments. ¬_¬

Many might not know any better. Just because you collect Hot Toys doesn't mean that you know that Sideshow is carrying these.

The scalpers and flippers aren't the problem. I mean yeah, they're part of it but the blame should go on the buyers who pay more than the MSRP. They're contributing to the problem. If the scalpers didn't have a buyer, they wouldn't have a function, hence scalpers and inflated prices wouldn't exist.

As long as there's someone gullible or careless enough to purchase a figure from these sellers and stores, prices will always be inflated. WE buy the figures. WE dictate the prices.

The real shame is that, even if you don't partake in giving into the secondary market prices, it still ends up affecting you in the long run. There's no doubt in my mind that Hot Toys and Sideshow have increased their retail/MSRP in response to the secondary market. I mean, why wouldn't they. It's all a cycle, starting from the customer, up.

Hmm. . .no, it's easier to blame that scalper guy. Just look at him. Whattadouche.

Oh Kara, don't know if you saw my post or not, but this applies to you as well.

Spoke to a Sideshow Representative today about the possibility of them increasing the order from 1 per customer to 2 per customer. While he didn't give me a straight up answer, it does appear that they're waiting and contemplate upping it up to two for those interested. Supposedly they want to give it more time since it's only been a weekend since the PPOs have gone up.

Maybe that second option will be, well, an option.

They could also want a second one.

Disagree 100% Keeping the ignorant ignorant encourages the devolution of the species. They should be cast aside and ridiculed for their lack of higher brain function. But I tell you what. If the dumbasses promise not to breed, and agree to be sterilized, I'd be more than happy to keep my mouth shut. Deal?

I guess if they have money to flush down the toilet that's fine. But it makes very little sense and basically helps devalue the collectible. These are collectibles after all. If I wanted a cheap figure I'd buy one at Toys R Us.

I think it is great that everyone has a shot at getting one of these figures.
It does however seem like some of you guys are angry that they are not sold out and the only reason you bought it was because it was "rare and exclusive".

Why not, IT IS A COLLECTIBLE?

I get the same thing. I even deleted all my cookies and temporary internet files and it keeps going to the streamline page. What's weird is I was able to get to my order history earlier today.

I did not see that. . .will be paying attention to this. I would love to order one legit without having to do shady things that will eventually allow me to justify even more heinous, rule-breaking behaviors that will no doubt send me down the road to moral, spiritual, and financial ruin.

Sucks for you guys who have already tread this path.

Benefits seems to spur them on. Thats how it's been here for so long. A generation of ignorant morons. Look at the riot mess that's been brewing here. They think society owes them something with the attitude they have for their country. They'd spit in your face.

It still is. Just because your flip value decreased doesn't mean it's any less collectible.

Anybody spits in mine, they get theirs ripped off and fed to them.... SLOWLY. Just like I don't understand the riots and everybody's inability to do anything. Stand up. You don't have to be a bigger force to beat them, just a smarter one.

The price dropping is just a speculation. For the people that are waiting this out it could go either way. Its pretty much 50/50. And IMO if you really want a figure, better to get it while you can instead of wishing you had before the price skyrockets.

A great example would be that I bought HT TS T-600 for over $160 last year thinking the price would be going up. Just recently I saw one that was going for $135. Of course I would have loved getting it for that price instead of what I paid, but if I waited it could have gone the other way and I would have missed a figure I really wanted. You never know with this hobby so its better to get it when you can.

You hit the nail on the head. Many may have bought this with the hope of cashing in on it, just like those scalpers. And now are crying because Karma bit them in the a$$.

UK allowed to become a wuss of a nation and for those that did stand up got sued for human rights and/or health and safety. Hence looneys have taken over the asylum.

So many cheapasses _____ about the price and hold out for discounts, etc., then _____ when the price goes up. Looking forward to all their bull____ "Looking for Batman at a REASONABLE price." threads which are meant to be read, "I'm too ____ing cheap because I played with my ass when I should've ordered, but ____ you, you owe me. I'm entitled to a price close to retail, not fair market value."
