While the delays are not their fault, I think Sideshow could manage the processing time frames better and be more willing to work with collectors that have multiple orders shipping at the same time.

You know, I'm sure they would.

Some of this is my own fault I'm sure.

I've just never had over half of my orders for the year come in the first 5 or 6 weeks of the year.

These few day notices are not working so well for me. I need 3 week notices so I can plan things better.

What do I really want to keep/cancel etc.

What statues have you ordered that are processing at the same time?

Ask SS they may delay one for you so you can have both I think they will help you

I love your videos on You Tube

So when the dam breaks and all these ships stArt being unloaded they should, what, leave the statues in their warehouse for months to stretch out buyers payments so they don't all come due at the same time?

I think it would be in their best interest to work out something with collectors in this situation otherwise they will see mass cancelations and still be stuck with a bunch of unsold statues in their warehouse.

Saruman charged yesterday. Tweeterhead Cat Woman and Taun Taun 1/6 Friday.

Not to mention my fear of QOTD or WW suddenly become available to ship.

If I pay for these ones on Friday, I can't pay for QOTD or WW.

If they don't become available. Fine. If they do. I cry and see if they'll stretch it out for a month.

But my HT Starlord should be along soonish and I need that one too. Need it.

I also need Han 1/6 that I imagine won't be too far behind the taun taun that's shipping Friday.

and on and on it goes...

I don't understand when you pre-order you should have the money set aside for when the item charges/ships your covered.You all had 8-12 months to save up for them.This is spending above your means.

Yeah, right!
You are telling me, that you put money aside right away for every pre-order? If you do, you are a rarity. I don't have any problem paying for my orders, but I know a lot of people on here pre-order WAY more than me. And I think they all depend on orders being spaced, so it only eats away so much at their income at the time.

Wow that's probably the stupidest thing I have ever heard here. I have about $16k on preorder from SS & PCS. Am I suppose to have saved that much? Most of the time this stuff comes in around 2 or 3 statues a month, which is totally doable. Plus if you are constantly paying for the incoming stuff you can't really save for the future stuff.
And who are you to tell someone they are spending above there means? You have no idea what someone can or can't afford.
