Me too, nice to know these reward points can add up to a possible free statue, also sideshow have proved to be very good with their replacements if needed.

Thats what I have found as well. Their customer service is excellent

Same deal. Saved on 2 though and can't believe they sold out so fast.



Super Power Collectibles. At least that's where I got mine.

2 Your crazy bro. Just kidding, if thats what you wanted then good for you my man.

I save over $100 by ordering from a Canadian dealer. But I did check this morning and he is already sold out which I thought was strange with an OES but I guess what some of you have been saying about SS limiting the amount they give to secondary dealers is true.

Made me super pumped that I got my order in yesterday.

hmm something to think about after all... thanks for bringing it up to my attention..

One for me and one for the guy that works with me on 1:1 props. Just easier to buy them togerther.

Very interesting that this is no longer available anywhere for under retail. I wonder if Sideshow is going to make it OES but only available through them and/or restrict vendors to selling it strictly for $650.

Sideshow is testing a new business strategy with these OES items.

My guess (and this is just a guess) is that Sideshow is greatly reducing the retailer discount and forcing retailers to sell it for $650; this will ensure that more collectors will order direct through Sideshow massively increasing their profits.

Interesting to say the least...

They are testing the waters with open edition. If the OES strategy succeeds, many more PFs and maquettes will have no exclusive, no edition numbers on the base be open edition.

Smart of them to restrict retailers after having all these retailer only exclusives for certain items.

Guess that's how coffers get filled. Smart and sneaky.

I've always thought retailers were restricted. The guy I buy from told me SS let's them buy 2-4 of 1 item. They can't purchase unlimited quantities. I'm not sure of this but it's what my authorized dealer told me.

but this theory wont apply to asian market though..
shipping and customs means double the price to them, they are basically dependant on local retailers which never really gives them any discount...
plus the local retailers in asia always has a deadline date..
so basically they take as much order before the deadline date.. which will then be submitted to sideshow..

That's why i get mine directly off the factory line!

You're also not supposed to be able to purchase them from Sideshow if you don't have a Brick and Mortar store. I'm sure there are some retailers that find ways around this though.

I am pretty sure most retailers are able to order as many regular edition items as they want during a certain timeframe. Just look at Alterego: they still have the Batman PF for preorder at a discount and allow the customer to preorder 2 at a time. I think the 2-4 of 1 item rule is for the new OES/LSF items...

even if its true, this rule does not really has much effect due to many local dealers though.. and i dont think flippers / anyone want to stock up on OES/LSF items..

Agreed, if it's open edition the limited availability has nothing more to do with flippers and more to do with their bottom line.

I keep looking at pictures and each time this thing looks better and better. Measured it out and man is it gonna be huge. The wife is in for a shock!

arg don't do that, you do NOT get reward points for an order if it has reward point applied. For an expensive piece like the hulk, that means you missed $32 worth of reward points.

save the reward points until you have enough to buy a statue outright, that way you don't miss out on reward points.

worst thing to do is apply a small amount of reward pts to an expensive statue and lose the reward points for the entire order.

Agreed, should always spend all the reward points to get a free statue or as close as possible to maximise it.
