Sideshow just can't catch a break!

ES is high, people complain & prepare to riot. ES is cut, people complain & prepare to riot.

I wish Sideshow would do away with ES.

ES don't bother me either. I wish they would do like 500 exclusives then no ES on reg. Once the product stops selling well. Put out a 30 day notice that the product will no longer be available for purchase after 30 days.

I actually won a contest to have dinner with them when I was in jr high. Quite the funny experience with them asking me for coke and weed. Ironically the lead singer died from coke years ago. Cool dudes though.

hey, anyone else notice that this PF and Daredevil and Captain AMerica: winter soldier PF has been REMOVED from SS website?????? thought the forum would be ablaze with outrage but found nothing....

I managed to find a link to the Thor PF and it says it is WAITLISTED. 2000 waitlisted just like that when it was barely selling to begin with?

WTF is going on here?

I completely agree , I have said Sideshow has been creating a FALSE demand for their statues by manipulating their ONLY #### Left ! I also call ******** on the fact that they could not sell 750 EX edition Thors since announced (4-5 months) yet the normal edition sold over 2000 statues in two weeks.

they are manipulating us with their open ES..basically they can do whatever they want to create demand by manipulating ES..if demand is high they just increase ES..if demand is low they just lower it to create more demand. which i think is unfair to collectors. i still cant get over the fact that Ironman Mk42 ES doubled!! from 2000 to 4000 i just checked its down to 3000..but im pretty sure it went up to 4000 before..hmm.

This is the same thing as the EX statues with act now less than 50 remain, I know I saw Apoc/Cap/Spidey and a few others go from under 100 to under 20 in a few days only to go back to order now only 100 remain the next week. This cycle repeats itself for a few weeks and eventually the item is waitlisted but its disturbing that Sideshow manipulates its customers like that. . . once I get my Hulk and Ironman Mark III I am done collecting sideshow it will be XM only for me... and maybe Bowen if he makes 1/4 scale ( One could only wish).

You guys crack me up

Very happy I locked down the modern Thor EX (with a $20 off coupon to boot) a few months ago. Also was able to secure the EX Doom PF with straight rewards points too before SSC cut the ES on him and he went on WL as well. Looking forward to adding both of these pieces to my collection. IMO, both sculpts turned out great and I'm glad I didn't miss out on them.

Thats how it should be sir. See it, like it, order it. Don't like it, don't order it. ES, waitlist, sell outs be damned.

By the way, Excellent choice on the Doom, sir.

Yeah, I was sweating Doom out for awhile. I wanted to be able to pay him off entirely with my reward points. I was just a few hundred points away and the free codes during spooks got me there. As soon as I had enough RPs I locked him up right away. Very shortly after that SSC cut the ES and he went on the WL. I cut that one close. Just glad I got them both in.

I pretty much agree with your line of thinking Josh. If I like something, I buy it. The only exception for me is an open ES. I still can't bring myself to buy any open ES pieces. It just goes against my nature as a collector. Other than that, I'm pretty much open minded to buying whatever strikes my fancy.

I just think people want to riot because there is a lack of transparency with how they handle es and pricing. There is also very little public or social media communication. They still do a lot of things great but they are losing the public relations war
