Is SS doing something new with waitlist vs sold out
Just curious if they're trying to push regulars more and cancelling deeper wait lists or what. They also seem to be moving items to the sold out status faster as opposed to waitlist.
I've noticed a bunch of items go to "sold out" as opposed to "wait list" that aren't due out for a long time. I've had several cancellations of wait list exclusives from sideshow and Prime 1 today. Some of which aren't due out for a year.
Just curious what you guys are seeing.

Wail List: You still have a chance.
Sold Out: You missed out.
Pretty straight forward really.
You're saying they should go to WL even when their allocation is more than taken but not happy about your waitlists getting cancelled? Confused!

i noticed too it goes on the sold out status faster than before (i am a 2 year old serious follower).
Just means some product sell well 
So it means also SSC delivered products that match customer expectations better than before.
Edit:
Doesn't mean they don't try to push regular too.
Can do all at the same time!

Totally misread everything I was saying, but hey thanks for the snarky response!
My point was only that after a decade or so of doing sideshow orders, they're moving items from waitlist to sold out status at a faster than ever pace. They're cancelling wait list items earlier too.
It's an obersation, not a complaint.

You don't usually see the wait lists get cancelled so far from release.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

Waitlist = Still plenty in the warehouse, just working out our edition size.
Sold out = Hang in there and wait til we remake it in 5 years.
But yes, I've also notice same as you and I suspect it's strategy to move regular edition sizes.

Not snarky just fact.
If things are going to sold out quicker then it's because they're selling quicker.
If they keep the WL longer then more waitlists are going to get cancelled.
