Shhh don't actually SAY how long it might be though or they might not order. These people will still want all my great art perpetually 2 years later. Anyway I'm a sculptor not a business man and what a fine artist I am! Street Fighter passion! I will go make more art now. Doh doh doh art art art."
People cancel statues all over this industry ALL THE TIME. NRDs from cancels are free money. That is the customer's only responsibility. Why produce product that depends solely on the initial buyers to make enough sales to justify production?
Poor little PCS can't handle it cause "they're a small art studio". Then that's just a clear indication they never should have been in an actual business as they were.
And until this is over this is pretty much how the PCS section will be.
Where else does a business owe it's customers money and that is just omitted from any conversation for the benefit of the business?
Oh that's right nowhere.

Haha, 'tis a good quote you pulled. Almost as if it's straight from the horses mouth.
As for the rest, you are ignoring a very important fact though.
Jerry took all of the money out of the company. I can tell you that any statue company worth their salt, wouldn't be spending the money until stock is delivered. That way you have the capital to refund consumers that want it.
These new owners have been left with nothing, they are building the company up from a negative position financially.
I have no doubt that they'll come good (or at least intend to) but they need to build the finances back up instead of buying the previous owner more Ferrari's.
There is very much a pre and post chapter to this business. Now sure, I'm only on the hook for one statue at the moment, so I'm not as bitter as most, however I like what they are trying to do and the direction they are headed.
These statues will get released, if the company is still standing, they'll pay those that want their refunds back and then they'll move on in a small niche market of the statue world and either keep doing what they love, expand, or fold. However as it stands the current predicament isn't on the current owners.
I hope this ends well for everyone and we can all move on because....

Maybe it should be pinned up top and people that take it to other threads should have their posts deleted. Again I have no issue with talking about that issue. Just there is a dedicated thread for it.

.... Heck yes, I'm done with this topic and I want my Transformer statues!!
I will at a minimum be getting the Skywarp statue, however they hinted on one of the social media thingies that if you bought all 3 as a bundle there would be a bonus.
I'm guessing that would be a coronation set for Starscream? Couldn't think what else it could be. Maybe Teleport parts for Skywarp and/or sonic waves for Thundercracker but I suspect that would be offering too much of an incentive if it was something for all 3.
