But I order that mostly locally from Australian stores (Sugo and Popcultcha, the latter of which I believe sources most of my preorders with them via Sideshow), otherwise that number could increase by a potential 30-50% if I were to import. Keep in mind that a little bit more than half of the total cost of my preorders are for Queen Studio pieces. Many of my current 14 Queen preorders are for life size busts and 1/2 scale statues so it doesn't take much to add up real quick.

And the only reason I?m partaking in their events is to score a free figure. Last year I was able to get almost two for free other than shipping, and the year before that it was one. So I guess that the free ride is over and that?s perfectly fine as it couldn?t last forever.

And given how much I spend overall on this hobby it?s pretty ridiculous how into I was in collecting rewards that pretty much amounted to literally 1-2% of my yearly preorders.

Yeah I guess im just sick of doing 'events' that involve me wasting an hour in front of my computer hoping for at least a 1 dollar reward... and we see the top 3 out of Hundreds get the 'big' rewards which are difficult to impossible to get. Yes Im talking about the recent trivia ones not giving rewards.

And what you said, the average person can probably just barely scrape enough rewards together to get maybe a 50 dollar discount on something throughout the entire year, if that. I think with the limitation on rewards, they want to try and prevent people from getting enough to get free figures.

If anyone wants to try a SWU code for $25 off $250, let me know. It’s not for preorders but for a lot of instocks.

All you have to do is enter Sideshow in google search and then click the ad website from the search results to get a SWU code.

Are these SWU codes only one use per account? I was trying to figure out how they worked. Any other codes that can be accessed another way (such as the $15 first account set up)? I don?t think they do the 10 to 15% pop up anymore to bump customers off the fence and buy what is in their cart (we used to leave the items in cart but didn?t check out right away and a code would pop up as an incentive to finish check out).
