Hi SS!
With the announcement of the new legendary Scale Figures and some Life Size props, don't you think you should revisit your flexapy option, giving us collectors a bit more "flexibility" on how we can pay for these expensive pieces?
For instance, maybe you can offer a 3 month, 5 month, 8 month and even a 10 month payment option. So if a product is up to say $500, you can give the option to the consumer to pick either the 3 or the 5 month.
If the product is $1000, then you can give up to 8 month and if it is over $2000 then you can offer a flexpay option up to 10 months.
This would work for different reasons.....It gives the consumer more freedom on how to pay for what he is buying, making it more affordable to buy more pieces...
Also the scheduled Flexpay will be set up that coincides with he shipping date, so for example if the shipping will be March of next year, the people that picked 3 month Flexpay won't be charged their first payment until January. The people that picked 5 months will start in November and the people that picked 8 month will start in August and so on....
I also think that would be great for SS set up a system where we can follow how many payment we've made and how many left. You guys are going to grow significantly the next couple of years faster than you have the past 10 and now that you have one of the biggest licenses ever, DC Universe, I think it is time to step up and make it more consumer friendly.
We spend a lot of our hard earned money on you guys and I think we should be given the option how we want to spend it when it comes to Flexpay.
Cancelation fees are up to you guys but I think it should be a percentage of what you paid so far so if you made one payment of $150, maybe you should charge 15%(or $22.50)as a cancelation fee. If you made 2 payments for the total $300 then the cancelation would be 15% of that which is $45.
I do not think there should be a cancelation fee for Flexpay payments that are canceled BEFORE the first payment. Most of us are average collectors and when we cancel something is because we didn't have enough to make ends meet and get charged $20 before anything getting processed can be tough.
Anyway, here is food for thought about Flexpay. I think people would buy from you more often other than getting the usual 10% discount from a retailer, which is the main reason why they would get that regular version...but if we could get a chance to spread out our payments and have the freedom to choose what we want to do I think you would sell more Regular versions of your products and get a bigger profit margin which is incentive to expand your business maybe by opening Sideshow stores around the country.
Again, just Ideas but I hope it helps

If it was a little cheaper over a longer period then it would be worth considering though...
