^^ How does Jack not get ripped to pieces by the Kraken's teeth? He kinda just painlessly steps into his mouth and BOOM! Locker time! lol I'm thinking it needs to be more like Quint's death in Jaws

 

[EXOTICLEX]

it was prob very painful....But if you look closely he actually takes a long frontwards swing at it when he should have just lunged his sword forward...

You know what...Hot Toys is only screwing non-American or Japanese out of a telescope...they screwed Americans out of a Scarecrow figure. Who got the bad end?

....the rest of the world? Who have gotten screwed out of everything?
Can you spell Xenophobia?


Don't wanna sound like a hater here, but..
This isn't the same as previous exclusives. People outside the US can order the figure from SS, but they won't be sent the exclusive item. Why?

Don't allow international orders then! ~Don't take our money and then slap us in the face!
Terrible bit of PR if you ask me. I normally order from Loonten or Toys2, this was my first SS pre-order. Now I have cancelled it, and ordered from Loonten. I'm happy, cheaper and faster to Europe.
I probably won't give them (SS) another shot.

I know people will say, "so what, get over it" and thats cool. I actually couldn't give a damn except on principal of what they have done. No one likes to be deliberately excluded out of anything. Do they? I have no issues with the recent MJ/Scarecrow HK exclusives for example. Thats just part of collecting. This though is a company (SS) who encourage international orders, but then exclude part of their customer base? For a dodgy piece of plastic, surely this is very bad business practice?

I would love someone to give me a rational reason why they would do this?

What so SSC won't be sending me the telescope because i live in England? where does it say that on their site?

You can see it in the specs list

# One (1) long telescope (US and Japan Exclusive)

btw:
This was the respond from sideshow on my request:

Unfortunately Hot Toys has been very specific that the Long Telescope can only ship to customers that have a billing and shipping address in the USA.

Sounds great, can you sent me a link, please?

 

[EXOTICLEX]

what's gonna happen if SS ships someone that lives in the US a non telescope version? Oh the backlash on that one....

 

[-jay-]

well that sucks but i used SS points on this so no point trying to cancel or i'll lose those.

 

[Vortex]

As an American, I see this telescope issue as China's sick little way of saying "WE Own You.. now look through your little telescope and say HI!".

Now i'm pissed.

 

[IrishJedi]

The long telescopes are probably just clandestine devices filled with radiated lead in order to wipe out many of us dirty Americans. That's why they're so strict on where they can/can't be shipped to.

Telescope discussion = major yawn.

 

[viezure]

You guys keep saying about stopping the telescope discussion, but don't do it.

How about you stop talkinkg about, even mentioning, the telescope? Problem solved.

TELESCOPE TELESCOPE TELESCOPE TELESCOPE

Oh how I like saying that word. Oh lets post 500 more posts about a telescope. Time to check into see a doc...

What have you done this week James? I discussed a toy telescope to death for week on end with my online Freak buddies. What are these Freaks you speak of? They are friends like me who get obsessed and stuck on such trivial things that the rest of the world could give a flying crap about, because that's how we do it around herre! LIFE! Yo yo yo, word up to my telescope lovin' Freaks! Cha 'rite!

 

[MaulFan]

Will you shut it.

Yes I lied to you.

No I don't love you.

Of course it makes you look fat.

I've never been to Brussels.

It is pronounced "egregious".

By the way, no. I've never actually met Pizarro, but I do love his pies.

Yes, the long telescope exclusive has been very poorly handled.

And all of this pales to utter insignificance in light of the fact that my ship is once again gone. Savvy?

WOW. Looks like Hot Toys really knows marketing. Bad Press is as good as Great Press. 15 pages of telescope talk.

Is there a picture of - One (1) duck’s foot sculpture? Am I missing something?
