That's the death of a company like PCS - people not preordering anymore. And it's exactly what is happening right now.

Value is in the eye of the beholder. If a company creates something, places a price on it, and a buyer is happy to pay that price, then all parties should be happy. Should the price increase or decrease, so long as the buyer is happy with the product, what difference does it's value make?
Sure i understand, buying something, seeing it's price fall, and feeling it. It happened to me with the Gentle Giant Derby piece. I paid the price Gentle Giant listed it for. Search around now, and some companies are offering the piece at a lower price. The fact remains, i like the piece, it's a keeper, it's value to me remains the same
On the subject of pre_ordering, it's also happening to Sideshow, collectors waiting to see how the production pieces turn, before pressing the add to cart button.
