Sideshow Apple

[Something Sexy]

I still think that's really cool that they gave you 300 bonus reward points. That's worth... I don't know, $50?

Is it an actual photo, or a printed picture?

Or $15.....

It is about 5x7 printed on white card stock. I got a chuckle when I opened it up--and I certainly appreciate fifteen bucks worth of reward points!

Or $15.....

Oh, its a 1/20 conversion... I can never remember.

so if I just used reward points to reduce cost of the new IM Comiquette by $300, then that would mean in order to get those reward points, I spent...

Wait, I don't want to know.

I cancelled something from Sideshow and on my list of ordered things, it said if I wanted to cancel the apple, I had to contact them. Did anyone do that?

 

[Atheris]

Wait.....this apple replica is really only a PICTURE of an apple that you get for $15?....+ 300 points.....

So let me get this straight you spend $15...to get 300 points back which = $15 anyway.....so in reality you spent nothing and you've made nothing

No, they don't really charge you $15. That was part of the joke.

 

[LaMelnik]

I got a Sideshow Apple picture as well. Mine is #16/175 LOL!!!

Now that is too cool!!!

Big props to Sideshow for again making the customer feel good.

 

[The Josh]

Thats cool! Nice joke and well played by SS.

 

[Atheris]

Ok now im really confused....I talked to a SS rep a day after they listed it because I thought it was a joke. She told me it was a real product to be shipped and they believed it may be polystone. I hate april fools....

I got on the wait list for this. I believe that the first few people to get to the product page were actually able to place an order, and maybe that is who gets the real replica. The printout might be something they decided to do for all the wait listers with a sense of humor.

That could be. I'm glad they didn't actually charge for it. Maybe I'll get a picture too from my waitlist.

Just wait... it's only a matter of time before recasts start showing up.

 

[SilentSurfer]

I got my Apple today, # 36 of 175. I wasn't happy with the factory print job though, so I Photoshopped it and printed it on glossy paper.

How awesome is Sideshow? 300 points = $15 free just for playing along with an great Apple Fools joke. You rock, Sideshow. Good times.

 

[MadCow]

I threw myself on the WL. I wonder if it will convert?

I doubt it this late in the game.

Can't hurt.

Mine says that too, but I didn't get anything in the mail or any additional points so who knows.
