I understand ES being a factor (even a big one) as to if you buy something or not.

I just dont understand how it being increased before you plunk your money down matters, other than you deciding you dont want the item anymore.

Anyway not looking to argue I just dont get it. If the ES on something isnt to my liking I just dont buy it. No biggie.

I understand some people want to be part of that little club, or feel that what they have is truly limited.

For me it's all about sculpt and paints and how much i love the character or franchise.

ES is really the last thing i personally think about when it comes to buying statues/busts.

Es might be the last thing you think about,but its the first thing I think about.For me it has nothing to do with being part of any little club,it is strictly a financial decision in order to protect my investments in the oversaturated hobby these days.I have lost thousands in this hobby,but I still come back to it everyday because I love it,however after the losses pile up,you cant help but think differently with your money,and that is my reasoning

I have never flipped a single MK piece ever,dont assume anything,you have no idea of how I collect and what I collect.I buy products from the MK license knowing full well that in the end I will be lucky to break even,or may even take a loss.This is aint SF Mitch

Having a substantial amount of fully paid preorders with PCS I too have stopped paying in full and scaled back on even placing deposits due to the delays.

This post is not to flame PCS but provide feedback. Which for PCS or any company is valuable.

I assume Ricky is doing the same.

BINGO this is exactly how I feel,i am a big fan of PCS and my intentions are never to flame PCS,but I am also not gonna be a "Yes" man when it comes to any company,so I do like to have serious discussions about matters that bother me

I know you are not looking to argue with me Jerry,nor am I.All I do is post why I order something,or why I don't with my reasons.I can understand why my reasoning may not work for you,and others,but like I said edition sizes are huge factoring in my decisions,and when I saw an increase of 33 percent more busts (whether it was a mistake or not) those numbers stand out to me,and I cannot support that,no matter how much I love the product (again financial reasoning) I will leave it at that,and I sincerely hope sales for the bust are good.Out of all the companies out there,PCS is one of the few I genuinely wish well for

They already experimented with it. From the other bust thread.
