123 left on the TH website. I guess preorders for the EX are coming to a slow halt. Hey, but that still means that they sold a bunch of EX’s.

I can only assume that pricing had something to do with the slower sell out. It may not be the only reason, but I bet it was a part of it ...at least.

Not sure why we always equate sellout time with success or failure of a piece. Sure, if it's ANOTHER Batman, maybe, but where else are you finding a 1/6 John Stewart GL? Why should TH leave money on the table by not making enough pieces for collectors, who for whatever reason didn't participate in Day 1 PO, to still buy him?
Sure, stock in a warehouse is tied up money, I get that, but there is probably an easy cost benefit calculation to be done there.

well if more than 320 exclusives have already been ordered I think that is a great sign. Since this piece is limited to 450 exclusive pieces hopefully that goal will be fulfilled. Still, even if the exclusive ends up getting capped at a lower exclusive number I do think that would still be considered a success. I do wonder how many of the regular pieces have been ordered so far.

No one was equating sellout time to success or failure. I didn't use the words success or failure, at all. I don't think anyone even said they should've kept the ES smaller. I surely didn't.
All I notice is that John Stewart GL is selling slower than say, the Superman 2.0 EX MAQ. And all I'm saying is the price could be a factor to that.

It wasn't directed at you in particular, which is why I didn't quote you 
But it did get me thinking, and yes, people equate it all the time, regardless of the exact terminology they use...
I don't disagree with anything you said, no worries .

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

Especially when remembering that Chad couldn't move 250 of previous exclusives. I have to imagine sticking them on Sideshow's site gets them moving quicker. Never made sense to me that the first Joker exclusive wasn't an instant sellout. Now this John Stewart EX has surpassed sales of that Joker EX at this price point? Wow.
No problem selling the newer Joker EX, either. Things seem to be going much better for TH.

I agree Brandon-hopefully with the uptick in selling means that within the next 12 months that we will see a few more B and maybe even C level characters.

Tweeterhead wasn't as well known at that point and that Joker is a huge part of it. Don't think any Superpowers had shipped by the time it PO'd, either. They've put out like 25 comic statues since then and really expanded the fanbase.
I certainly didn't know until it was far too late to grab one.
