Predators - 1/6th scale Classic Predator Collectible Figure

[Elder_Predator2]

yeah well Im seriously hoping I DONT have to see the look on my wifes face!!!
All good, in pay off mode now! Im a designer so I do a little freelancing and that cash goes straight back on the cards.

Worse case scenario I sell some, but NONE of the Preds!

That's how I am too. If I have to sell anything its going to be my clones. The Predators are here for life. Well, they would go if it was super important.

 

[Hellion]

Agreed. The Preds are what got me into this in the first place (still dont know if thats a good thing or a bad thing).
Sometimes I think I will go ahead and sell the terminators but once Im looking at them...man, they are too cool especially the cheapest of the bunch the T600! I have him displayed alongside my preds as they are the same size, very cool stuff.

You'd rather have a job and spend your money then to not have a job and not be spending money.

 

[JEDSTER]

Right now.... I am stuck and don't know what should I use to make the little quils to go on Classic's and Shadow's heads.

Of course I would rather have a job!
Just need to be prepared to save up for a holiday and not spend all on figures.

Or how to attach them?

 

[Elder_Predator2]

Poke a hole i the head and then glue them in. That's how I did the Elder Predator's.

Why the hell did sideshow ship it to all those who preorders but retailers still don't have this in stock?

That seems to be their MO lately, unfortunately

Major suckage!

Same reason they are offering free shipping on stuff. I think all the retailers are eating into Sideshows profits.

There's your answer.

SSC is tired of people going to other retailers so there are putting polices in place to help steer people into buying directly from them.

Simple really.

I agree!
Amazing shots.

Then why have retailers at all? Don't they make profit from their retailers?

Yes they do. But I'm guessing SSC profit margin is higher when people order direct rather then selling their inventory to retailers at bulk pricing.

This is a very tricky problem as SSC self distributes (I understand HT is separate but the HTs have to go through them) which can lead to problems.

If anybody here plays Warhammer will know about issues with dealing with a company who self distributes.

I hope this doesn't lead to further problems down the road.

Some of the HK sellers missed out on their usual shipments/ deliveries as SS took them all. First time that's happened.

Gotta say that its a smart move on SS part. And they will probably start seeing more and more people pre ordering straight from them. I know Im a little irritated with this myself. I usually pre-order through CSC because they are cheaper and usually have their stock the same week as SS, but with the recent releases (This, DX Sparrow and Captain America) they have all been late on getting to retailers. If this is going to be the current trend, I may just start pre-ordering from SS after all as well.
