Re: New Doctor Who 1:6 and 1:4 from Big Chief Studios!
Geez, just buy it somewhere else then. Who cares? They have explained very thoroughly why they have to wait on the pricing. They've done the same thing for YEARS AND YEARS as a successful business. I understand not everyone loves that, but it's not like it should be a surprise. They aren't playing "cute little games" they are being honest. As a small, niche business they have to factor in their total costs to set prices.
I buy a ton of stuff from them, but there are definitely times I have to shop around. I also find their policy of not doing pre-orders annoying at times, but I understand their reasoning too. I don't understand the point of *****ing about it. It's the way it is and what they have to do to run their business. No one is FORCING you to wait to buy from them.
I can tell you right now, while they are usually fairly competitive (and do offer below MSRP in most cases and are certainly more competitive that BBTS or Entertainment Earth are for Who stuff) it's VERY unlikely they will offer it below $160 that TFAW is selling it for. And if it is magically lower than TFAW and you've ordered from TFAW, it's still a choice you made and not their fault for not telling you the price right away.
WhoNA offers amazing customer service, which is why I do a bulk of my shopping with them. But I've not been anything but pleased with TFAW either. So I think people are in good shape either way they go. The reason I, personally, am planning on splitting my two orders between them is that even if I pay a bit more with WhoNA I like to support a business that sold Who merch LONG before it was "fashionable" to sell Who merch - when it was all hard to get imports. And if Who ever falls out of favor again, I'd like them to still be around to do that again.
