'International Edition' Patiet Zero PF?

[NIGHTCRAWLER]

tee-hee

 

[p!tu]

This is a bull^^^^ move and further undermines the idea of "limited editions" were Sideshow is concerned since they obviously have no reluctance at cranking out another 40% under the "International Edition" banner.

Does this mean we'll be revisiting the four different versians ala the Babysitter with the Premium Format Zombies soon?

What pisses me off the most is that Sideshow really flew under the radar with this one, which means that they knew their fans would be pissed. This is the true "Stealth Patient Zero" and it is not an April Fool's Day prank. It's a good prank, it shows that Sideshow thinks collectors are fools.

I have two questions for Sideshow:

1) Can I get my order in for the International Edition Universal Silver Screen Mummy/Imhotep bust that you'll doubtlessly be coming out with as soon as the genius calling your shots figures that one out?

2)

ES of 125 and already shipped?

You definitely owe your fans an explanation...

so what the difference between the 2

so what the difference between the 2

As far as I can see, when looking at my international edition, nothing, apart from having 'international edition' on the base and a ES of 125

Eh, not if it was an after thought SSC had and just banged a few more out. They had no time in planning on what the international exclusive would be.

Yeah, it does seem kinda pointless making this edition (apart from the obvious money aspect of coarse ) but TBH I am just happy to be able to get it at the same time as you lovely people in the US :chew Normally we have to wait a month or two longer

BTW love your 'location'....dark tower rocks!

Haha yea I am pretty sure that is the only reason for this special release.

We are all assuming the worst here though right; I mean theoretically SS could have been doing a "nice" thing for the international collectors due to the crash and burn of ordering that night?

That said, the secrecy is still not the way I would have handled it.

Yea maybe they were doing a nice thing but at the same time they were thinking...this will make us more money. In the end they are business and it is all about the profit.

Looks to me all the people crying about this Just but the Statue for a Number. who gives a crap! its a great statue still under 1000 units! i mean damn!

 

[jbinny]

so what the difference between the 2

your guess is as good as mine...

I'm a bit suprised that Sideshow hasn't offered any kind of explanation.

 

[TOE]

give them a call

 

[p!tu]

give them a call

good idea

Thast Weird you would think something would be different

The difference is the extra $34k Sideshow made on this before costs/production...oh, and it says "International Edition."

Yea maybe they were doing a nice thing but at the same time they were thinking...this will make us more money. In the end they are business and it is all about the profit.

the truth be spoken! It was a cheezy and shady move, but do I blame them? Nope, not at all.

Someone emailed them earlier and got an explanation; it was posted on the boards somewhere.

There is nothing wrong with Sideshow wanting to cash in on their own license sucess nor with them want to "help" their foreign customers with an International Edition; however, adding just "international edition" to the base really misrepresents the regular ES of 300. They should have at least given him a belt or different color clothing.

 

[p!tu]

Just Talked to Cathy and she said that Since the original was so limited the International customers got screwed which they knew was going to happen so they made an International one just for them and the only difference is the base.

Im glad our friends from out of the country got the chance to score one as well!!
