Who here ordered the Ex Blade vs. Dracula dio and plans on keeping it?

[Eli26]

For those that can afford to keep it, do so! This is a GORGEOUS dio and will definitely rise in price, both due to sheer beauty and ES.

I am keeping it. I have looked at that piece every day. OCD! OCD! OCD! And a pinch of ADD. Anyway, it's too beautiful to pass up. Just wished it wasn't so expensive. I was thinking, will this go up on second chance? Maybe I can use value points on this sucker. *snickers*

So i just put a call into Sideshow and asked if they would except my blood as payment...no word yet but im hopeful!

I didn't know they could get blood from a rock?

I tease! Lets see if it pans out for you.

Light up feature? relevant exclusive? tons of detail? Gore Group piece? low ES?

The only thing this piece is missing is chrome for everyone to go all orgasmic on it. I say keep it!

 

[FQRizzo]

No, the only thing missing is the faux bronze. Faux is the way to go.

No. Nooooo.

N O spells NO!

NON!

And finally... WRONG!

Got the exlusive on order, and there's no way I would cancel. Looks way too awesome to pass up. Marvel dio line totally rules!

[FQRizzo]

hmmm...very interesting. I wonder if there were problems with the initial shipment.

 

[Mesa]

same sort of message prior to SIM shipping, wasn't there?

dun...Dun...DUN.

 

[zoid2323]

same sort of message prior to SIM shipping, wasn't there?

I think so.

 

[Mesa]

Let just hope a follow on message to the effect of "we will be coating the blade diorama in crude oil and adding hard and sharp trays at all pressure point for quality assurance" doesn't follow.

 

[occulum]

they also released the same message for the Creature PF, which is now showing up as a masterpiece.....
dont get all up in arms over a problem that doesnt even exist yet kids....

 

[SolidLiquidFox]

dont get all up in arms over a problem that doesnt even exist yet kids....

Agreed. As much as we criticize Sideshow when they do bad it isn't fair to bash them for something they haven't done.

 

[Mesa]

I wasn't trying to start a scare or bash SS, just make a joke. If you can't laugh at the situation that was SIM, what else can you do?

I'm looking forward to the blade dio that I will NOT be cancelling.

 

[occulum]

15-20day notice.
Time to decide.

... I will decide when in-hand.....

WOOHOO! MY BABY IS COMING! Just keep it! THIS THING WILL BE INSANE! INSANE!!!

Problem is it's so detailed and has so many doodads I am afraid it will get damaged delivered to me. Although I did have two SIMs come mint to me. Hmmm...

 

[spidermonkey]

I just got my notice in today, I'm glad I was able to get this afterall.

Saw the Blade dio at the Atomic Comics store in Chandler, AZ tonight... As much as I didn't like it at first, its pretty effing amazing! They want $349.99 for it. I kinda wish it was in my budget... but oh well...

Very impressive in person!
