I'm in Northeastern Ohio. Pittsburgh is where the closest server was. Here's hoping I have a good day next week.:lol

For me? I'm flattered, and honored, and extremely happy. Thank you all for this wonderful opportunity.:lol

I feel there is alot that Denny needs to tweek with his whole ordering system. I do not agree with how he offers his figures. Being a small and upcoming company he can still rework things to keep his customers happy.
 
Re: [iminime] / Trevor Grove - *Secret Project* The Cowboy ~ SCULPTS REVEALED ~

Just curious, what is the preferred method of taking orders? Whether it's, I have to work during the ordering time, I wasn't online when they were offered, I was confused by the checkout process, stupid servers, etc., I hear complaints about every one. It's impossible to make everyone happy it seems.

Rainman's or iminime's announced date and time?
Beto's randomly offered, first to pay?
Moe's filling an interest list with the first to post?
 
Re: [iminime] / Trevor Grove - *Secret Project* The Cowboy ~ SCULPTS REVEALED ~

possibly increase their supply..to meet the demad....that will make people happy...:)
 
Re: [iminime] / Trevor Grove - *Secret Project* The Cowboy ~ SCULPTS REVEALED ~

One where I get a DX.
Yeah, that's my preferred system, too. :lol

I get they can't control all the issues people have with ordering but I think that they seriously misjudged the amount of interest in this figure. Before yesterday's release they were saying probably everyone that wants one will get one because of the 85 edition size, the price, not all VIPs being interested, Eastwood being of interest primarily in North America, etc., and looks like they ended-up with a lot of unhappy VIPs. We'll see what happens next week.

Yeah, that's what I don't get. It's like they're saying we only want to make "X" amount of money, even though they could double or triple it maybe by offering another run a little later (at least of the reg if they want to keep the DX super limited).
 
Re: [iminime] / Trevor Grove - *Secret Project* The Cowboy ~ SCULPTS REVEALED ~

There are still several regular vip sets left and another 40 (15+25) are being held for general release. 85 (not including the additional clothing sets) is actually a lot, triple a Rainman edition size and quadruple Beto's, and takes more time to sell through than you might guess. But we'll see come ordering day how quickly this sells out. I think everyone ready to purchase come ordering time will be able to get at least a regular.

Iminime/Rainman is best system by far. It's just luck of the draw guys. Someone is going to be dissappointed.
 
Re: [iminime] / Trevor Grove - *Secret Project* The Cowboy ~ SCULPTS REVEALED ~

I don't understand why the release is so limited. More figures (dx or normal) and everybody will be happy.

I think Rainman's system is better based on my experience. Sure, it isn't perfect (I had a real scare recently where I couldn't order because of some glitch associated with my having store credit), but if you go through the check out system in time, before stock is sold out, you will be able to complete the check out process in the vast majority of cases. With Rainman, I've not seen this issue of folks having stock empty out of their carts while stock is still available happening as we saw with the Cowboy yesterday. I know multiple people are defending it, and they may all very well have more technical IT knowledge than I do and can tie this to a conventional checkout problem, but from a logical POV vs. what I've seen with Rainman it clearly seems less ideal and "fair."

Lol, and yet you weren't that cool in Beto's Beetlejuice thread when you missed the second run, Wake. :lol But yeah, overall I agree. All the ordering schemes are arbitrary. Still, in Beto's case, he is offering a third run down the road, so chances are by that point he will have satisfied the majority of the market for those willing to drop $860.00 on that character. Same principle could apply here or with any high-demand character.

I do wonder, though. I do wonder, though, why they won't, at least partially increase to meet demand. This is a Pre-Order isn't it? If they wanted to, could they increase the production run? I'm just curious.

Light bulb!

Denny should just email VIPs a time that he'll create a SSF or even a Facebook post... And first 15-25 VIPs who comment get in.

Most folks including Denny seem fine with the system as-is, so I don't think he's feeling a lot of pressure to change things. But I also think that when some of these folks who are defending his system miss out because of it they'll be singing a different tune. It is what it is. We do all have a chance. And there is a fairness in that everyone is potentially affected by this. So, I reckon this is what we'll be dealing with from here on.

On the bright side, I don't think Denny has anything else in the pipeline approaching the potential popularity of the DX Cowboy, so I don't think folks have much to worry about over, say, the next 5-6 months anyway.
 
Re: [iminime] / Trevor Grove - *Secret Project* The Cowboy ~ SCULPTS REVEALED ~

Line up 85 of of anything. It's a lot. I'm not convinced there are many prepared customers who will miss out.

This worry always crops up before every Rainman release and after ordering goes up everyone ready to buy generally gets one, and that's a smaller edition of 45 or so. Sure there were some disappointed who had to settle for a head/clothing set over a full set but in the end just about everyone was able to purchase the figure. I just don't see many posts of large numbers getting completely shut out with those releases and I imagine it will be similar with this one. The foreign retailers buying 2 regulars is a minor concern, though. I'm not sure how many of these buyers are out there.
