Or they could have gone this route

Ex = $1200
Collectors = $1049
BAM!

They used to have different pricing for EX v Reg back in the day. I have no idea why they don't go back to that. Want to save a few bucks, op for the Reg/Collectors. Want all the bells and whistles, pay a little more. Kind of shocked they have never revisited that actually. One of the last ones I remember that on was a GI Joe dio piece that took forever to sell out.

I'll bet they are.

Maybe it's just me but I'm sick and tired of companies skimping on the customer. Happens all the time in video games (see Nintendo and their have to buy tons of extra crap to have the best experience nonsense).

It just seems that the more a person spends on something...the more they should get. I know that's not how most businesses work (unless you are XM), but just bring out 1 version with as much as you can cram in there for a given price. Apparently, there was no extra cost for the second head...so why not have included it in the collector's version as well.

Stop skimping on the customer! When I pay $1200 I want Thanos to cook, clean, bathe me, and wipe my ass. That's a lot of frikkin money to plunker down. This goes for all companies!

Giving those who got theit WL cancelled a 10% off coupon would have been a very smart idea, as less customers would have been put off by it and more sales would probably have been made. It keeps amazing me how badly they handeled this, considering all the options they had to deal with this.

Sheesh.. I've had my fair share of crap to talk about Sideshow but DAMN. It seems like they can never do anything right by you cry baby a$$ collectors. If they leave the ES "TBD" They're wrong. If they set the ES day 1 and it sells out BECAUSE of it - They're wrong. If they make a crappy exclusive that no one cares about - they're wrong. If they would have waited till they started shipping him out to tell you that your WL won't convert, they're wrong.. Get a grip people. Holy smokes. Its depressing to come on the forums lately. I'm all for discussion but YOOOOO. All I see lately is people crying and moaning. 1 page of constructive/positive/USEFUL discussion then RIGHT back to the moaning. lmao - OK. I'm done.

I'm fine either way, not a piece I needed, but I have enjoyed the heck out of this thread.

Just saying, telling people that hey, look on the bright side, when you are one of the one's that got an order in is kind of a dick move.
You are right, trying to look on the bright side is the epitome of a dick move.
