I just want to share my sentiments on this statue.
I have been collecting the PCS statue for nearly 3 years now and I love the statue that comes out from this company. I actually have the complete Street Fighter Character.
There is an official and license distributor of Sideshow Collectibles product in our country, and PCS was initially partly brought in by them. There were only 4 release(Ryu, Vega, Ken, Cammy) Akuma was not released here in Philippines. Suddenly it all stopped and I had to order direct from the States just to continue the line. I ask the Local Dealer why they didn't continue ordering the line? The answer was short and clear! TO MANY BREAKAGES". I had to ask permission from the local distributor if I can bring them in and was permitted.
From then on I had to bring this line in the country at retail price and shipped it locally. I accepted pre-ordering so that I could have someone to share the shipping cost and taxes. Starting from the release of Zangief onward. Guile, Bison, Felicia and Kabuki and till now even Chun-li, Plus Lion-O and Mumra, I am the one bringing them in. Now this Scorpion is the worst packaging! Broken pieces.
Jerry I have been following your line and I think you really don't care about your followers clamor. I hardly share my sentiments on the board but this is just way out of hand already. Increasing the prices on higher edition statues is just not right anymore, (MOQ) Minimum Ordering Quantity up in China means you can get lower prices, by meeting their request you then by get wholesale prices. Yet still there is no improvement on the packaging. I hope you still fly over to China to talk with your supplier and tell them upfront the situations your getting. Not just complaining over email and internet. I think you do have a responsibility to your customer in providing good product, service and quality at the premium we are paying.
You can see I was lucky enough to get the lowest statue I have ever received #3 and still it is broken.
