Also Jerry I have noticed that With Sideshow's Ordering system (Cart System) Sometimes when they put a statue up for sale - Only People in the States can actually see it on the site - and only when they post a link on forums for the pre order do some International Buyers see the pre order it has happened numerous times in the pass to me and My friends in England - Is this something you aware of -and when the cart system comes on your site - will it be able to show all customers world wide the statue when it comes up for pre order - (As we dont want to miss out) Is there any - options if it is not available for international buyers comes on pre order day or site crash's will you offer any alternative to international buyers . Usually with Sideshow its not a problem because of there edition sizes - But with your edition sizes statues can be sold out very quickly without some international buyers even seeing the statue on your website - any thoughts on this -?

Thanks Gp

B.When can we expect to see the fully painted UMK3 Sub Zero 1/4 statue?
C.Will the MK9 Sub Zero 1/4 statue become available for pre order this year, and even though it might be a while off yet, can you say roughly when it will go up for pre order?
D.Someone previously asked you what were the statues you were most looking foward to making, and one that you mentioned was in fact Kintaro.Since i last asked you, has there been any development on production of a 1/4 Kintaro statue?
E.After the MK9 1/4 Scorpion statue was released, there were more than a few people who recieved damaged statues[which sucked, to say the least].Are you able to perhaps improve the styrofoam packaging for the MK9 Shao Kahn statue, to ensure extra safety and security for it while in transit?[i'm not saying people who recieved the MK9 Scorpion statue who's was damaged was due to the inner styrofoam packaging itself[it may have been careless postal workers delivering the statues, i'm not sure], but increasing the strength of the styrofoam packaging for not only Shao Kahn, but future MK 1/4 statues aswell would be great[as collectors, there's nothing worse than paying ALOT of money for high end collectable pieces, only to discover that upon opening the box and removing the statue, something is badly broken, which completly SUCKS, and as Shao Kahn has more than a few parts on him that appear VERY fragile[spikes on his shin pads, shoulder pads, and his helmet] it would make me[and a few other people i'm sure[LOL!] feel ALOT better knowing it was packaged as safely and securly as possible, with little to no chance of any damage coming to it while in transit].
F.Has a firm date been set for the new website with the cart system to become active?
G.And finally, when MK9 Sub Zero becomes available for pre order on your new website with the cart system, will we have the option to make one full payment, or will it just be a small deposit?[as i'd personally like to just pay the entire cost in one full payment.]Cheers!

Sorry, I usually despise forum police... But A-G? Seven questions in one post?

We appreciate Jerry answering questions for us, maybe you shouldn't turn it into an interview. (Kinda selfish)

Anyway, just my two cents.

Also kinda defeats the purpose of numbering(or lettering) when it's just a big block of text. No one wants to read that. I bet he doesn't.

[Whirl Wind Boy]

Yeah if you look at this dudes previous posts their all like 7 questions long. Even the ones labeled 1-4 are like 7 or 8 questions with all the damn commas splitting up the individual questions. And its all about the same thing most of the time. Have you made a deal with ikon, when will you announce the deal with ikon, will shao kahn go up on your website, will sub zero go up on your website, is the shao kahn box bigger than the scorpion box, will a deal with ikon include exclusives, how many exclusives, will your site take cc, will your site take paypal?

How about you just wait for the announcement on ikon man? Jerry will let everyone know all the details when they are announced.

cheers

i was not aware of that. I think I know why SS sometimes has that issue. We may also have a similar issue...the best bet is to sign up for our newsletter@PCSToy.com so you dont miss any anouncements. They will always have a link to the ordering instructions.

- Not going to NY ToyFair. havent been since 2004. It really doesnt apply to us.
- UMK3 SubZero is being output so its a few weeks from paint
- MK9 SubZero will be this year
- No news on Kintaro
- All packaging has been improved since Scorpion

Ive known him since the 90s. Big Micronauts collector. I bought some of my most loved pieces from him.

i'm aware the chances are almost 0 but it doesnt hurt to ask.

Sadly TCats is over for us. Its too expensive to renew
