Naked Snake Medicom Release date

[redtinfox]

I got some news, although dunno how viable it is. But I was searching for more pre order info regarding the brick camo snake and a place had its pre order date set to may of 2010. So.... only 1 more month?

What site was it? Link please.

What site was it? Link please.

I didnt pre order from here but from all the sites with pre order dates this is the only one that has been updated.

EDIT*

Also the site I pre ordered mine from says 2nd quarter of 2010.

Thanks for the info. I pre-ordered tiger stripe snake from xltoys before I knew this would be available state side, anyways their site said March release and that has come and gone.

xltoys is a very shady place in my opinion. I emailed their customer service around March last year to inquire about their pre-order policy, and they took 7 MONTHS to send me a reply! Just look at the date stamps below. Plus, they charge at the time of purchase for their pre-orders, so I'm glad that I never ordered from them.

Enquiries: Hello, I'm very interested in pre-ordering some items. However, I have a few questions. Will pre-order be charged immediately at the time of purchase? Or will the pre-orders be charged only when they are ready to be shipped? Thank you.

wow that sucks. Cant believe they would do that.

Has anyone pre ordered from https://www.alteregocomics.com/home.php ?

 

[Boba Ben]

Alter Ego is great. They're one of the best retailers in the business in my opinion

 

[Demimatt]

you sir have just set my wallet back even more.

I know right? Imagine having to pay for an item, but then waiting over a year to receive it. So far, I've only done my business with Sideshow, Play-Asia, and Hobby Link Japan, and I've been pretty satisfied.

By the way, Alter Ego Comics has some really low prices! I would also like to know about them. If they're an okay store, I definitely won't mind ordering some stuff from them.

Croc Cap Snake is the only figure out of the three that isn't being re-released. The prices have already dropped on Ebay for the other two figures, but Croc Cap Snake has maintained its value at $300 to $400 USD.

Sorry for your bad experience. I have ordered from XLToys before and besides high shipping prices, I received quick responses and 4 day shipping from Malaysia.

Sweet. I was considering selling mine off, I thought they were re-releasing that one. I thought the Tiger Stripe one was the same as Croc Cap.

I thought the original release was the same as Croc Cap just without the eye patch.

Yeah, they're essentially the same figure, except that Croc Cap Snake has an eyepatch and splitter face paint, while the Tiger Stripe figure has an unpainted, plain face. Croc Cap Snake also comes with the Croc Cap (lol), as well as a sniper rifle.

There's also differences in their uniform: Tiger Stripe and Woodland Camo.

 

[SwedishHeat]

Haha, it's funny, they released the Croc Cap version because the Tiger Stripe was ultra limited. Now they're re-releasing the Tiger Stripe, because. . . well, I'd assume because Croc Cap is now scarce.

All they really need to do is a better version of Old Snake and they'd be good. I think the higher demand of MGS3 Snake is partly due to how poorly MGS4 Snake came out.

No its because Old Snake sucks and everyone wants Big Boss (or MGS2 Snake but we wont get him)!
