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

Theres no mention in the recent newsletter so it's pretty much a given this isn't coming anytime soon. No chance for July / August and I'm not prepared to wait until 2018.

After Robocop I'm not prepared to let them hold on to my cash past the original time frame anymore.

Don't order from any company anymore :P Or if you're just not prepared to wait for a long time after PO then PO from PCS anymore :P

Expectations are generally higher when you're collecting 100% of the purchase price up front. While some treat it like any other statue pre-order others feel like companies lose incentive when they've already been paid. I think it's a fair criticism. This is my first time paying up front and it'll also be my last.

As far as PCS is concerned specifically, all it would take is regular progress updates to ease most minds. If you've missed your deadline it's not a lot to ask given they're sitting on our money.

This is my first time paying in full also, which is probably why I'm more tolerant of the delay. I can understand why others aren't. I agree that some updates would go a long way to making such delays easier to swallow and stop people like dirt sadly losing their interest and/or excitement.

Delays are fine. It is the sometimes questionable QC that accompanies the long wait times that is a killer.

It feels like you paid hundreds of dollars to wait 2-3 years to get slapped in the face in the end.

This is my first PCS item so I have little experience. I'm expecting fairly good things however so let's hope this won't be such a case. I have had that with other producers too frequently in the past....
