1/6 Sideshow Star Wars Scout Trooper 1/6th Scale Figure

[sithlord13]

This sucks. So I'm on flex play. I ordered and have the last payment so why are they denying out 6 day notices for some and delaying others. Just take the payment and send me my figure.

Rant sulk stomp of feet

Maybe they didn't get a full batch in and are sending them out based on when you placed your order

I placed mine first day.

I ordered with a coupon, so it must have been a couple of months after it went up for PO. It was the ex with full payment.

Got a 6-day notice too, for the Exclusive. Soon the OT trooper Holy Trinity will be complete.

I only went onto the waitlist for the Ex 17th July. Waitlist converted 22nd.

With the 6-day notice this morning I can't ask for better than that.

Forgot he was only 189.99 until I got notice from Sideshow. Plus 30.00 off from my deposit. Forgot how nice it was to have a figure below 200.00.

Did you ever think you'd be relieved a figure was "only" $189.99?

Seems there's always someone new to the fiasco of flex pay.

Flex pay: you get charged $25 if you cancel; you receive your figure after the Ex people get theirs and generally a month later because, let's face it, there's generally a delay of some kind which throws your last payment off.

It seems backwards to me to make people on flex payments wait longer since the figure is mostly paid for by those customers when it arrives in stock.

 

[Tee-Kay]

It's pure commercial logic. Charge people that have yet to hand out their money to you before they change their mind while those who already handed out 80%-90% of the fee are tied by contract and are much less likely to cancel.

Not backwards. If a customer is unable or unwilling to manage his/her own money then be prepared to deal with the inconvenience that comes along with that.

Huh? I don't get this logic at all. Sideshow is getting paid either way and with flex pay the majority of the item is paid by the time it arrives. Not sure why customers should be inconvenienced over something Sideshow has as an option for to make higher priced items easier for people to afford.

Flex pay offers nothing you couldn't do for yourself to have funds ready.

I would never make installment payments in advance of receipt of the item I'm purchasing.

I'm a little tempted to throw the bike on flex to delay its arrival by a few months. So much coming out in the next four months. The Star Wars completists are on the hook for about 3K from now until January. I would think the flex pay system helps SS avoid cancellations when releases get all clustered together.

Hear, hear.

There's not really a downside to it either though. Its not like Sideshow is going to screw their customers over and not provide the item being paid for. Yes a person can save money for a figure on their own but its a convenient system and obviously people must use it or it wouldn't be offered.

I'm not saying people who use flex pay should be unnecessarily penalized. But when your payment schedule doesn't jive with the release date of a figure, well that's part of the inconvenience of using flex. People who pay in full on the spot should get priority.

And paying with flex is certainly not managing ones own money, it amounts to having sideshow save you from yourself. If you simply left the flex funds you pay untouched in your own personal account and pay in full at time of release its the exact same price. Except you control and are responsible for your own money.
