True - although I think it does make a difference. Generically speaking (i.e.
not 3A specifically), companies ship products which sometimes have significant
differences from the preproduction version shown when you preorder.
Wouldn't it be interesting to see what would happen if Sideshow made you pay in
full when you preordered their exclusives?
Also - to clarify for some other posters here - I have said nothing to imply that there is a risk in
preordering from 3A - quite the contrary - this relatively young company has done a terrific job of
turning out a huge number of excellent figures as promised by their preorders.
