Especially when slightly negative posts on their Facebook pages have a good chance of being deleted or locked. Prime 1 does the same.

I've never saw them respond, I mean I believe you, but on the stuff I've followed, I haven't saw any responses, which is usually their original stuff, mainly COTD, I certainly dont run a multi million dollar company and can't tell them how to of course, but i really hope they give me something new to buy soon, I'm old, I got maybe 10 or 12 more years of collecting and then I'll be near retirement age and probably stop buying statues since my daughter has zero interest in them

Sideshow doesn't read these forums, they used to have a thread where they replied if I remember correctly but those days are long gone. Their decisions aren't based on our discussions so no need to worry about that

I do remember the days where SSAlex or Igo would stop by a thread or two. I remember when I got narced on by Susan for guessing Reward Codes during a Spooktacular livestream… LOL

Ahh, memories.

It will probably still be Star Wars heavy for a while, it's what selling the most right now so they will ride that gravy train. Other things will still be in between as they always have tho.

That's my hope to, that the next month or two they will be showing one new thing a week on PO. If not definitely going to be saving more money then.

Ya i'll say P1 showcases are awesome even if i don't buy anything from them. Tho sideshow usually tries to put stuff up for PO within the first few months of the year. P1 I think takes longer

Will see what sideshow does, they may feel whatever they do is not good enough, but they do have long time collectors have put alot of money in there stuff. Should still do something even if it only pleases half the crowd.

It seems like most companies know how to get their customers excited.

Tweeterhead does monthly newsletters
XM does consistent online reveals and reveals in their store
Prime 1 does their online showcases
Iron Studios consistently drops product on social media
PCS drops teases on social media and has even started posted info here

Sideshow used to be decent, with SDCC, NYCC, Spook and 12 Days to look forward to. These events have really, really slipped over the last few years.

I know it wasn't a SS product specific but they did put up a TMNT PCS and a P1 product up for PO, so it could be the start of the new year PO's but its going to be a variety for each coming Thursday, anywhere from PCS, P1, Tweeterhead and maybe sideshow in between.

But between new china covid lockdowns and CNY coming, delays will be inevitable. Hopefully they can still pull off reveals as these may only delay things hopefully only like a month or two and not 5-6 months.
