Jabba/Throne Experiment

[The Josh]

It'll get here but if SDCC orders get put on the second go round. I'm gonna be a bit irked honestly since the point of ordering before everyone is to be first in line basically.

Updated. Batty, sorry I missed you. It appears IrishJedi is the first person to say they are at Item Shipping Soon. Myself on the other hand....NOTHING! No preauth or ANYTHING

 

[SportsAnchor]

My Jabba now reads: "Item Shipping Soon"

 

[kain4521]

My Jabba and Throne say item shipping soon.

[Memnoch]

As long as no one after me gets a preauth or shipping soon before I do I'll be fine. ...

Why do you think I'm the only one who didn't give his order info... and the only one who has had a pre-auth since Monday.

Turbo posted over at RS that he called Sideshow CS and was told SDCC orders might not be in the first batch and they analyzed that those orders show as going into the system early August.

I guess the rationale was that ordering at SDCC would spare you having to find a way online or something.

As a non-attendee, I have to say I would hope it wouldn't be treated as a first come situation, it's expensive to go to that show if you don't live in the area and I don't think the less fortunate who couldn't attend and are stuck at home should be treated like it's their fault and oh well these guys come first, their needs to be a balance, like the Vader figure was a cool and somewhat unique item, but between it's similarities to Anakin and the fact that there was non-attendee quanity, I think that satisfied both sides of the convention matter.

Mine shows July 28th as my input date in my order list.

Sorry, I feel that if you go to the show and order from the show your orders should be process first. You ordered before everyone so that's that. Would be no different than if I ordered before you on the net. Plus besides all the cool benefits of going it costs out the ass to go and getting yours first should be just one of the benefits.

It's a lot more equal opportunity online though, it's not perfect, but a larger ammount of people can get to a computer for order time better than going to a convention hundreds of miles away at a great expense. If I could afford it I'd go to all the conventions but that's a lot of money and I think it'd be a pretty bum deal if a company said anyone who can't afford the expense isn't entitled to equal treatment as those that are.

Thats fine. I'm not saying that the people who can't go get raked over but if those going order at the show theirs should be the first out along with whoever ordered online instead of waiting till the end. People that don't want to go scream about fairness but where is the fairness for those that went. No rewards points on top of having to wait till the second or third shipment.

It does kind of suck that you get no rewards points and now possibly not in the first shipment. I am guessing nobody will be ordering stuff at the convention this year.

I know im taking my laptop with me and just plan to order when things go up. I CAN take a laptop and one carry on correct?
