I sure hope the Duke gets some serious consideration in the near future.

It's gonna happen just biding my time waiting for all the pieces to fall into place. Also gonna wait at Denny's request until Iminime move forward with a few more of there projects. They have enough on there plate atm.

Yes it is. Did you miss the future pre-order? Came and went so fast. Sorry man.

Good thing I have my trusty Delorean, now I can keep going back until I finally get one.

Like most systems it's an imperfect one but it seems that it's the way small operation customizers need to work.

If you look at it that way it doesnt seem like a lot... Its not like Rainman or Beto who have 1 or 2 people working on a figure. Denny has a team dedicated to each stage. While Riggs and Murtaugh are being completed, Bateman is being painted, the tailor is designing prototypes for Michonne, Rovo is sculpting McClane, Trev working on Lenny, Iminime in house guys are sculpting other aspects... its all good.

I get the arguments for why it is necessary for them to crank out the number of releases they are. But no matter how you spin it, I don't think it's cool for someone to be holding onto money sent their way for 6 months. As for Rainman, despite whatever advantages you think he might have, he doesn't get in over his head and has a schedule that he sticks to more or less. By that 45 day mark or so you've got the figure on the way or about to be on the way. That's why his process is my favorite.

I get your point too and I agree with you, I just don't know what the solution is that is a fair balance of all aspects. Aside from other valid concerns that can be had with the time frame keep in mind that as far as PayPal protection goes, 46 days and 246 is the same thing. So until things start showing up within 45 days (which ain't happening) or we're not required to pay in full, the whole point is moot anyway

Well the point isn't moot, because if nothing else, this could affect forum policy (as such, I think more voices would be welcomed here). There was a forum policy in the past that said, payment only when something was 30 days away from being delivered or sooner. And this was before your time here, but the rule was there for a very good reason following some very bad experiences on the custom area of the board. That rule was stretched by various folks (including Rainman), and it got to the point where now, it's essentially not a rule at all when someone can take payment and deliver 6 months later.

My stance really is this--if someone is confident in their product, then do it the way anyone else would in the "real" world--get a loan, build up some capital, and don't put risk in the hands of customers.

Is it that hard to google the time difference? Simply google it and avoid irritation amongst boarders.

I'm aware of the rule and I'm sure it was instated for very good reason. I know that it exists but isn't enforced for the most part. I understand why the customizers work this way but your right about the risk it lays on the buyer. There has to be a middle ground that balances all aspects and is more fair to all parties involved

I agree with you. Ideally, business firms and companies should do that. Pre-order, however, is an approach to subsidize Iminime for risks that the company itself engages in. So perhaps a good consideration which minimizes risk, to a reasonable extent, on both the company and its customers would be to collect a relatively small non-refundable deposit for pre-orders. Sideshow does it and it works fine.

That's what I was saying and NRDs make the most sense. However I think that the NRDs should be high like $100 like Kato does; maybe more for a DX. This way you only get serious buyers and keep the guys who are willing to gamble $30 out of the picture. That kind of buyer can only FUBAR the flow of a very limited, down to the wire type sale like DX Blondie.
