Pixletwin's ANH 1:6 VADER Experiment Thread!!!

[Mad Old Lu]

Hurrah, Randy! Glad to hear Vader has been found!

Mine's out for delivery!

So far it does seem like shipping was related to order time.

So far it does seem like shipping was related to order time.

Which is different than past ones.

 

[FlyAndFight]

Can't wait for tomorrow!

Lord Vader's shuttle is due to arrive then!

 

[JustinLuck]

Shipped.

 

[Fia2k9]

Got my shipping notice...Item due 07-15....Oh happy days!

 

[jedibear]

Well, my regular Wait List is now an order. Drats...I was hoping for an exclusive...but I'll live.

 

[Batty]

Hey Pix, so what did we learn from this experiment?

 

[screamingmetal]

Vader arrived yesterday!!!

 

[FlyAndFight]

Vader arrived today!

 

[Roc74]

VAder has arrived!

 

[Darthgothikus]

So I emailed sideshow yesterday.

My Vader order has been at "Item(s) shipping soon" for nearly two weeks!
The website says that it should have updated to "Transferring to EU Warehouse" wighin72 hours...

Had a reply appologising and my Vader has been on his way for some time! Should be here very soon - I'm getting all excited again, especially as the same email confirmed that my Luke & Han in Stormie disguise are on their way to the UK too! Woo Wee. It's gonna be a Sideshow Clusterf*#k at my house real soon!!!

 

[FlyAndFight]

Vader's going back!

Sucks! But a tip of one tusk is broken off and nowhere to be found. Calling SS tomorrow to set up return.

 

[JustinLuck]

Hey FlyAndFlight, my tusk broke off and got lost too. But I'm working on a solution. I will let you know if it is a success by tomorrow.

 

[jkno]

My Vader arrived

 

[Odowankenobi]

God damn it! UPS guy came really early and I was still asleep. Now I've got to wait another day for Vader.

Hey Pix, so what did we learn from this experiment?

Seems like it was just confirming what we already knew--they ship out according to your order time, with a hiccup here and there.

But I actually thought this was a great experiment that I hope Pix or someone else will pick up. Maybe for just the more important releases, since I know it's probably a lot of work. It's good to know where you are on "the list", so you can anticipate if your figure is due to ship, or if you'll have to wait a few more days. I'm sure it's even more helpful for the waitlisters, since they can get a better sense of how far down they are on the list!

Yea, even though I started late I really liked this, it was fun. I hope someone can do things like these for the big releases as well.
