This is what happened yesterday at STGCC. It's been many weeks and I've been told SEVERAL TIMES at the various Action City branches abt the Convention Exclusive Hot Toys Mark. 21 MIDAS figure. The staff told me countless times how there would be only 800 pieces available and how RARE and EXCLUSIVE that this piece would be and that was all the allocation available in Singapore.
On friday night, we collectors worked together getting updates as the queue formed. We were supposed to meet up at 3am but by 11pm it was getting crowded. We made our way down and began queuing at 1230am. By 6am we were inside the building having successfully secured our slot. I met friends who had been waiting since 3pm the previous afternoon. We were approximately no. 770 in the line.
That's when the bull**** really began. We were told that to secure our orders , we had to fill out a form and except for quick meals and toilet breaks we could should not leave the hall.
At 8am, finally the cashiers were opened. FOR THE 800 PEOPLE IN THE QUEUE, THERE WERE ONLY 2 CASH REGISTERS
Then we found out , ANOTHER 800 POs were made available . WHAT LIMITED EDITION IS THIS? Delivery 1st quarter next year. I was told repeated that " only 800 pieces available and only at STGCC" . So what 800 POs was this? 1600 released in Singapore. THE CROWD IN THE HALL WAS CONVENIENTLY NOT TOLD OF THIS . STAFF WERE SEEN TELLING THE SOB STORY WHERE DUE TO A FIGHT THE PREVIOUS NIGHT, THEY HAD DECIDED TO RELEASE MORE. WHAT KIND OF REASONING IS THIS?
IF IT IS LIMITED EDITION AS YOU CLAIM ACTION CITY AND HOT TOYS,HOW CAN YOU JUST ORDER MORE AS YOU SEE FIT? YOU MISLED YOUR FANS.
By the time my friends had made payment for their figures, it was 2pm. THEY HAD BEEN WAITING 6 HOURS TO MAKE PAYMENT. People who got the PO were also ushered into the hall .
After last year's debacle where ONLY FANS WHO BUY HT EXCLUSIVES AT THE SHOW CAN MEET THE HOT TOYS PRODUCTION CREW, I really thought that things would improve. WHAT ON EARTH HAPPENED THIS TIME?
HOT TOYS AND ACTION CITY. IF YOU WANT TO SELL SUCH LARGE QUANTITIES, YOU SHOULD HAVE AT LEAST HAD THE DECENCY TO ARRANGE PROPER LOGISTICAL SUPPORT.
ALSO HOW DARE YOU MISLEAD YOUR FANS. I AM UTTERLY DISGUSTED BY THIS.
THIS IS NOT HOW YOU RUN A BUSINESS.
And in case you're wondering, no I gave my MIDAS spot away to someone else.
