Show it now and impulse pre-orders become future cancellations.
Pretty much, wonder why they stopped for all recent pf's though, would've been great to see cable.

Does this mean a no show at SDCC?

They may be starting to realize that there really isn't much of any benefit of showing it so far in advance before it ships. They don't really make any changes based on customer feedback, so what does it matter? All you're doing is showing it to people many, many months before it actually ships and sure some will order and keep that order, but I'm going to wager the great majority of those people are still going to order it whether the statue is actually shown 10 or 2 months before it ships.

There may be some payment plan people who have their decisions altered/delayed, but I really doubt it's enough people for it to matter to them. From the business side, I really don't see the benefit of them showing things so far in advance. They rarely ever change a design and the impulse buyers have plenty of time to reconsider/see something else they'd rather have.

No, the reply was just regarding the weekly facebook live show with Susan.

I'd be very surprised if Juggs isn't at SDCC.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

I thought the same thing and then on today's show they showed the new green lantern with fully painted energy so he doesn't look like his arm is cut off. Sucks , not more translucent energy look, but better than a cut of arm.

That's all good and fine but scenarios like that are the exception, not the rule.

The Rancor was #1 on most wanted toy list as a kid. Never got him but I’m interested to see what they have in store for that one. There’s a SW short fan film about the Rancor on YouTube that’s not too shabby.

I am looking forward to see Juggernaut in the show and am lookig forward even more to see Juggy in real life in my display room
A Rancor statue would be incredibly cool (I hope a Jabba the Hutt statue is also a possibility in the future)
but the Juggernaut Maquette is the one I am waiting for now.
