...I'm the first to defend BC....

That's usually me, I thought!

I think the guys at BC would be the first to admit they are embarrassed by not being able to give the customer service they would like to. I feel bad for them in a way.

You shouldn't. They are a business that we entrust with our money in expectation that they meet basic standards, of which all businesses should abide by. Pity them if someone breaks into their warehouse, their sculpt gets recasted, something awful happens to one of the creators, etc... Things like proper customer service should be maintained and as usual all 1/6 companies LOVE to keep their fans completely in the dark, not answering their questions and leaving them guessing as to when products will actually come out or go up for preorder.

I'd be well embarrassed if I'd taken a whole bunch of money off of people on the promise of a figure that would be delivered on a particular date then absolutely nothing about it to them.

Does Apple tell you when the next iPhone is coming out?

Has Hasbro told anyone when they're finally going to make that other Imperial Dignitary?

Does Applebee's tell you when they're going to come up with a brand new bacon wrapped double cheese super slider BBQ burger with special sauce??

Has Sony announced when the PS4 is coming out??

No.

No company will tell you their future plans.

I've never understood this talking point that somehow 1/6 companies are these ultra-shady, secret companies that never tell anyone anything. Every business on the face of the planet is like that.

Do any of the above require a deposit to place an order and constantly push back when the item is supposed to hit the market? I have yet to find a burger I'm willing to preorder and put a deposit down on...I'm still looking though.

Seriously

With a following wait of 18 months...That really would be some burger.

It would probably classify as a hallucinogenic by the time they shipped it out.

On a side note, is anyone going to the Midnight Convention in Birmingham? I am. Maybe BC might have something there seeing as DT and BP are the main guests and it's right before Christmas.

I'm sure they'll have the same display as they have had at other shows, including the ratty haired Amy we've seen for the past 6 months.

Well they didn't like the shape of the burger so they had to go back and start again from scratch.

They did not like the shape, but it had great pickles...great pickles!

Aw, come on... why do you have to attack them for trying to get things right? Would you have been happier with a rubbish product?

Isn't there some burger made of japanese beef that costs hundreds of dollars?

Slytherin Pride, did you file your claim?

I definitely want the product right, I was just having a little fun at the expense of the 18 month old hamburger.

Yes it had sort of moved beyond the BCS situation really...the idea of paying to wait for a burger (with a great pair of pickles) for 18 months was funny in itself!

I'm remembering more and more about that Japanese beef... something to do with farmers rubbing malt whisky onto the cattle. Or did I dream it?

Re: New Doctor Who 1:6 and 1:4 from Big Chief Studios!

At the end of the day, it's a doll figure that they can't get right. 1000s of different dolls out there get it right. What can be so damned difficult about getting the figure right.

Men rubbing Japanese cows with whisky? No Cap, I think that may just have been a dream of yours.

Or mine...I forget

Incidentally, how can you can tell they are Japanese, do they "MOOO" with a Japanese accent?

I'm wondering what you do in Shanghai. Does it involve asking a Chinese factory to do what you've asked them to do without problems, mistakes, 'improvements' or piracy...?

It's a good question. Do animals recognise nation states?
