He's scheduled for Q4. That's anytime from October to December. My optimal time would be for Asia to get him in late November/ Early December, and for myself and the rest of us to get him closer to Christmas.

Quarter 4 2011 release usually means we wont see him until early 2012. Id like to believe wed see him before Christmas, but knowing HT's track record, we usually dont see shipment until a few months after.

I don't know, I'm hoping that I'm right and you're wrong.( You probably are too.) ,but I guess we'll just have to wait and see. If we do indeed have to wait until 2012, at least we'll have this and Indy to tide us over.

My wallet hopes Im right. But I hope you are right. Cause its already been a painful wait. Thought DX Indy, DX Jack, Sweeney Todd and Spiderman will make the wait less painful!

Do the big companies like HT & EB intentionally wait to pump out figures closer to the winter holidays in December?

 

[batfan08]

Yep, I'll be busy with: Comic-Con, Jack Sparrow, Indiana Jones, Batman:Arkham City, and Call of Duty, as well as the various other aspects of my life, so my wait will be less painful as well.

After a bit of advice. I've never pre-ordered a figure before, always picked them up once they come out. But I'd like to pre-order Jack but am unsure of when to do it! I have the funds ready now, but have been holding off as if I pay now, and then have to wait two or three months to get him, it'll seem like a long time with nothing to show for the money. So should I wait another 4 weeks or so, buy another figure in the mean time, so it won't seem so long between new stuff turning up!! I love a parcel, and the opening and posing the figure etc! But then might I end up having to pay more if I wait, it seems this'll be a very good seller. I just don't know which way to go!! It'd be easier to plain if we had a date for him to come out.
Any advice would be great!

I would say if you have the cash now, go for it! You dont want to run the risk of waiting and then all the sudden he sells out. Otherwise, most places you pre-order from you have option of paying with a CC and you dont get charged until the item ships.

That's what I was thinking! I'd hate to miss out and end up paying over the odds. When would your guess be on release date?

Since I have a TON of crap coming out in September, Im going to guess September.

Haha! Very true! Where have you preordered from?

 

[spindrift]

I'm guessing Spiderman and Mk V in July, Jack and LightCycle in August, New Goblin Sept. All HK dates, us a few weeks later...

 

[Rzeznikk]

CSC. They usually are the first to get stuff right after Sideshow.

 

[batfan08]

No long telescope, Rzeznik?

 

[Rzeznikk]

CSC has stated that their version is coming with the long telescope.

 

[batfan08]

Oh, I thought that was an SSC exclusive. How much was it from CSC?

EDIT: CSC just confirmed the long telescope is included with theirs. So Im good.

CSC has him for $215.99

 

[batfan08]

Damn, that's not bad at all. I think it comes down to whether or not I want my reward points badly enough. Is CSC reliable?

I like them. Ive been using them for going on 5 years now and I havent had any problems with them. They had a hack awhile back where some customers CC info was taken but luckily for me thats didnt happen with me. They have since tightened up their security to ensure it wont happen again and so far so good.

They have low costs, and they seem to get their stuff the fastest (after SS) and they have great customer service.
