Unfortunately a lot of then Are flippers. Most collectors don't even get to purchase these. Street Fighter is also their most popular license

I think that is a real shame for a lot of collectors, who really want this and will miss out because of these Flippers.

That's true. But if nobody were to pay flipper prices, they would stop what they do for good.

The problem is, people do pay, thus encouraging said behavior.

It's really sad both ways when you look at it.

Yeah I guess that is true, I guess people just can't resist not buying the item no matter the cost.

Its also cause unlike us, most ppl and sometimes-collectors don't follow this stuff like us. We know when something comes out the day the time...(in my case I forgot but also cause I wasnt as amped as I was for Robocop). And most ppl aren't as crazy as us when it comes to PO'ing things. To the Flippers its a business

Lol its cause I cared man and I knew how much you wanted it too, I'd do it all over again. I only did that to wait til 3pm. I did that for HeMan too. I'm too scared to risk the before 3pm thing. I open up a live PST count down online and wait lol

Thanks brother...really appreciated that in regards to PO'ing the EX before 3pm I got all panicky and sent Jerry a facebook message to which he replied that my order was fine and it wasn't a problem ordering before the 3pm slot. Just means I didn't get a AP but maybe a prototype instead cos I was so early

Really? What was your time stamp because i ordered before 3 as well. A PROTOTYPE WOULD BE AWESOME

no buddy, I just said that to Jerry as a joke cos those lucky 10 who ordered dead on 3pm all got AP's so I said those of us who got their orders in before 3pm should get a prototype would be cool mind you mine was ordered at 2:58:04 as far as I know there was one fellow collector who was even quicker than me and got one in the 2:57 range

I can't believe people who ordered before a certain time are getting APs. Can't wait to see the difference in quality to the standard factory painted ones.

Wouldn't a prototype be different, inferior, to the final product.

It was the first ten orders...after 03::00.

Yea i was scared it would sell out. Wish i ordered at 3 now though

I think its a good incentive for a company to allow the collector an opportunity to receive a bonus for getting their order in on time...I personally would like to see Sideshow do something similar...with my PO list I'd be sure to get an AP at least on one occasion

Usually it is the other way around, most of time the product is never as good as the prototype. However, in this case we have seen the helmet head sculpt been improved since it was on display at Wondercon.

me too! Only PCS statue I own is the Lion-O PF which is awesome but I ordered that from Sideshow (my first ever piece I ordered with Sideshow infact back in 2012!) He-Man was the first time I PO'd with PCS directly and I'm pretty sure that I ordered about an hour of the EX going live.

Before ordering Robocop, I'd never heard about this AP incentive on the first 10 orders I'd definitely have tried to time it better had I'd known
