[iminime] / Trevor Grove - The Cowboy ~ FULL REVEAL ~

I assume the regular gets canceled and goes back up if they secure a DX. I understood it to be an either or not both type of deal.

I was able to add the DX to cart this morning before my mobile connect went off. Bad luck on me. Will try again next week.

Is there possibility to see painted heads photos?

Re: [iminime] / Trevor Grove - *Secret Project* The Cowboy ~ SCULPTS REVEALED ~

Here's what's available for general public next week:

25 reg sets + any remaining reg sets left over from VIP reservation + roughly 10-15 dx sets.

Why 25 reg sets? 50-25=25
Why 10-15 dx sets? Retailers might nab a few, not sure.

Good luck, everyone!

Is there a specific time set for next week?

1. I'm sure Denny will give us several days heads up just like they did for this VIP release.

2. No, Denny told VIPs that we can try to get DX with everyone else, but then our normal sets will be canceled.

3. I imagine Denny would then hold another announcement date for the last few Normal sets that were originally VIP members for sale.

Anybody want to sell me their DX Pre-order for $620 (taking into account the VIP discount, that's $62 profit!).

Thankfully I got my order in for the normal. No worries Denny, I"ll be back to try again next week

Somewhere, out there, is a parallel universe where Clint Eastwood licenses his likeness, Denny Kim owns Hot Toys, and this thing received the mass produced run it deserves.

And in another parallel inverse I'm Clint Eastwood.

And then there's this other one where I'm a pornstar by day and Batman by night. I'm trying my damnedest to get there and see this s__t myself

I'm thinking just grabbing the head. I've got a rain man outfit headless figure - been incomplete for donkeys. Think I even still have 1 free head left out of VIP offer....

Looks like Denny needs to upgrade his site's bandwidth. It's shown as down for me.

Re: [iminime] / Trevor Grove - *Secret Project* The Cowboy ~ SCULPTS REVEALED ~

These sites aren't built for heavy traffic. I believe Rainman's shuts down after a certain amount of views in a day. IDK if it's absoultly necessary for Rainman to make the changes (because he serves a smaller niche) but Iminime fan base is starting to grow big time. Denny should look into preparing the site for more traffic

There ya go! Sounds like a no brainer unless you wanted this new outfit over the Addblue one

Nope, Iminime's site never shut down like Rainman's whatever happened during the ordering process was not the site's problem but a situation where one item was being requested by many... the ones with higher speed to complete the request won out. and increasing bandwidth for major blips 2/3 times a year? seems pretty uneconomical. There will be prolonged period of zero hits so it seems unnecessary.

Re: [iminime] / Trevor Grove - *Secret Project* The Cowboy ~ SCULPTS REVEALED ~

Well, I now have a regular secured in case I can't get a DX. Here's hoping I can get my hands on one with that awesome Eastwood head.

Re: [iminime] / Trevor Grove - *Secret Project* The Cowboy ~ SCULPTS REVEALED ~

congrats buddy! I had my fingers crossed for you.

Thanks, Jeff! Just catching up on the rest of this thread after the stressful VIP sale yesterday as I had to go in to work right after I secured my DX figure! Those error messages really freaked me out as I thought I was doing something wrong at first! Glad I kept trying and finally got what I wanted right before having to leave for work! I'm so glad I invested in becoming a VIP member and I'm relieved to have scored what I wanted. It made the long commute and the long tiring night at work go by a lot smoother knowing how lucky I got!

Good luck to everyone else still gunning for the DX set with the regular sales! At least you have a heads up to know what to expect this time!

ok--- Let me see if I am understanding this right from another thread. Regarding VIP membership. I thought this was a horrendous waste until I read some of the benefits. For a $ 300 price a VIP member gets his choice of "any" 3 iminime painted sculpted heads "past present or future"--- correct ?
So if next week a VIP member misses out on a DX set, he can later obtain the exclusive head as one of his benefit sculpts.
If I (GP) miss out on the DX, regular or separate head, and later become a VIP member (when some of the others expire and it opens up again), I can get one hat and one hatless head as 2 of my 3 benefit painted sculpts

Sounds dealful to me

I would think absolutely not. There will be ONLY 35 hatless headsculpts is what they have said.

The Past Present or Future depends on the availability. There are extra castings done, but that too over the time its limited quantity. So keep that in mind. Refer to their latest heads available which they update from time to time to understand what is available. and NO the DX sculpt is not available for sale separately even for VIP. Thats why its a DX and thats why its included during the product sales...

Knew it seemed too good to be true. Actual quote is

"Choice of owning any 3 painted only heads from past and figures made during membership period for free and with free shipping! Even though the sculpts may not be released officially and separately"
