samaritan replica refund please!

[lcummins]

alls I know, is I have 25 X-Force #1's. 5 of each freaking insert card. Im still waiting to pounce when I can just sell & break even.... oh one day ......

I have some of those!!!

What's so great about either piece anyway? For $400, I better be able to fire REAL bullets. I never did understand the appeal of the old piece. Granted, I haven't seen it in person, so maybe that explains it.

But YES Doctor, I would be pissed too. Same way I'd be pissed if a Patient Zero was released in a new outfit. But I think you could easily get $400 if you sell it well.

retail...$299 + shipping,import duties..its easy to laugh,i love a joke also..i'm not bringing this up just for me but for collectors who'll get stift by sideshow in the future..if no one says something about it then the same thing will happen in the future.

when hellboy 3 is released in 3-4 years,can they do the same samaritan with a different base again...will that be alright?

maybe leave a comment on the SS site under the new exclusive, stating your dissatisfaction with the "rerelease" of a classic. Keep it cordial or it will never get posted though.

yeah thanks for the advise..

Show me where it says that and I'll agree with you. Until then stop your crying. You and everyone else here knows there will be no such refund.

It does say that, somewhere; I remeber reading or hearing that. I think in one of the catalog. Let me check...

Edit: Nope, not in the catalog (volume #9). Maybe I heard it on their site, can't remember. But I seem to recall hearing that the Samaritan would never be reproduced.

Sorry for the multiple posts, but I'm just catching up.

Funny, me too. I jsut went to a convention where Liefeld was supposed to be there (he bailed very early unfortunately) and while I was looking for comics for him to sign, I stumbeled upon all my X-Force #1. I seriesouly have at least 15+ of them. That was the beginning of the end of comic value IMO. too many gimmicks and HUGE print runs ruined the long term value of any post 90's comics. Not sure about now. You can find the X-Force #1's in a comic ship for less than $5.

change the colour or design of the samaritan then i would have agreed.

I actually think this one looks a bit darker than the original... and the grip appears a different color as well. And I could be wrong but it looks like the first has 3 slots on the barrel and the new only has 2? See, everyone wins :chew

Original

Extra tasty crispy

Don't ever think spending money on Sideshow Collectibles is an investment, only thing they make are expensive toys.
When a piece gets more value, than that is luck if you bought it for retail.
When you buy something aftermarket with a augmented price, only buy it if you really like it.

 

[Darth Madden]

They don't look exactly the same but I guess I would be bummed of they made a real bronze Dooku/Yoda diorama.

i would never have beleaved sideshow would re-issue the same prop replica they had already produced until today..i have been a proud owner of the samaritan prop for a long time...asured that this would be limited to 1000 unites world wide and would never be produced again?

well sideshow you have broken your promise and i would like a refund as you have now made my highly desirable collectable almost worthless!!!!

i am sure i am not the only one who is surprised by this turn around of event's:emperor

LOL that is the most hilarious post that ive ever read! thanks for the laugh i needed that after my suns lost tonight! Have you ever thought about stand-up comedy?

 

[nash]

If people don't think things like this will happen they are naive. Collectible companies always rehash stuff. It is what they do.

Dude, I should be entitled to so many refunds since I own most of all the 1:1 SW replicas from MR.

Get over it, why does this 2nd version make you feel like you have a small wiener compared to the other kids at the playground? Enjoy what you ****ing have, isnt that why you bought the 1st one in the first place?

This one is made of metal your its polystone not re-issue

 

[geto10]

I won't lie. If I owned the original I would be pissed but since I don't I must say...

The new samaritan pwns the old one! Light up bullets, metal!!! OMG!!!

Damn right bro!!

Sold the old one for $700!!! w00t1

 

[tylerd]

I look forward to the **** hitting the fan, because you are not getting a refund.

[Mudshark]

This thing looks sick! I missed out on the first one and ended up with the mini version. Looks like some of us are getting another shot at this beast!

 

[tylerd]

i'm not upset its better but that its the same samaritan.

if the samaratan's design had changed or the colour...like if it was silver for instants..then i'd have gone...oh a thats different but it hasn't.hellboy is iusing the same gun as well he should because the design is awesome!

why don't you buy the hellboy II samaritan too? then you can have both. the fact that the one you have is from the first movie makes it a rarer item. people now have to settle for the second one because they can't find the first or it's too expensive to buy on ebay.
