I pre ordered mine from Sideshow and it's not on sale, but if you use their payment plan it's far less hard to swallow the price pill.
Yeah, I got the email too. The shipping delay sucks but I guess it gives me more time to figure out where I'm going to put this thing when it gets here...
It's been at least a week since any stores showed any stock at stores within 50 miles of me. I think it's over.While we are in the same area... my call is that shipping is slow on everything. Hasbro transformers slots on Target shelves are pretty bare. Ive also seen no new TVC since the Snaggletooth / Greef Karga wave. I don't have an explanation for why some cases of these Fetts have arrived in stores and now its slow. I'm not going to freak out thou and pay anything over retail for these.
I swear Matt's big haul was a restock.Wasn't the prototype Vader similarly hard to get at first?
Was there ever an "at second"? I only have the three I own thanks to a friend. I never saw them in store.
Yeah I want quality and quantity, but if I had to choose one, it would be quantity. I want weirdos, background characters, a robust representation of the movies in collection form. Having 10 figures from a whole movie does nothing for me.
Cloaked from the other half, you mean?
When the Sail Barge came out I wound up picking mine up from a local FedEx location. I can’t remember for sure if I did that because I was concerned about how the delivery driver might handle it, or the potential that it might be left out in the weather. But the funny thing is that when I went to pick it up there were another 2 barges at FedEx that were waiting to be picked up.
I don’t know if I’m going to make similar arrangements this time for the Razor Crest. The deciding factor might be if I’m still working from home when it finally ships.
I don't know, I can see not wanting the X-wing because of space, but I'm actually pumped about this ship and the figure, so I guess I'm the target (no pun intended) audience here. I'd be happy to buy the ship off of anyone, but I'm also going to buy one full set as well. Not building a squad, but I wouldn't pass up having two blue squadron X-wings.
What I've heard many times is that the 3.75" figure line has never been super profitable, but Hasbro/Kenner made their money from the ships and playsets. The figures help support that and sell more vehicles. The problem is that now most collectors absolutely will not buy a vehicle unless it's on deep discount—and I mean like last-chance clearance. They even start cursing out Hasbro that they can't find it on clearance anywhere, balk when the clearance price is too high, and demand that other collectors find the ship on clearance for them. The fact is, there won't be a line if the fanbase is only buying things on clearance. I'll buy extras at discount, but I always tend to get at least one at full price.
The other problem is actually finding the ******* thing and/or being able to order it.
