It's not the shipping cost it's the fact i have to pay it right away...

So instead of putting my $50 down and then paying the rest off over the months i have to put $175 down.

That is quite the hit right from the start. Only good thing is that you are getting locked to current shipping rates vs more insane rates from the future. I think it won’t hurt to recommend it to Chad to maybe have to shipping divided by 11. Pay $50 + 1/11 of shipping and after that 10 monthly payments with added 1/11 for shipping. That way you are locked in for current shipping rates plus initial cost is lower.

Would that be good solution or would you rather see something else?

Just saw on Chad’s video where he said some were saying Black Adam was a fail because of his similarity to another statue. Why, because they are both floating? Really an unfair critique. Different sizes, different bases. Some people just like to complain I guess. It’s an amazing piece. Just had to get that off my chest.

Which piece are they saying it looks like? I can't think of any piece that looks like Black Adam... I think Black Adam looks great...

It's too bad XM came out with their 1:6 DC lineup at the same time as TH, otherwise, I think these TH statues would be a lot more popular and sell faster...

He said they are comparing it to Iron Studio’s version which is their 1/10 scale piece with a similar pose. XM’s version will be based on the current New 52 take which alone makes them different. Looking forward to that one too.

Must have been a troll. The IS has his arms crossed and doesn't have clouds on the base. Both are cool though.

Maybe I misunderstood:

I thought the original plan was for Black Adam to be a TH exclusive only, then I thought it was decided it would be for sale at other retailers.

Is the regular version still going to go up for sale at other retailers (like BBTS)?

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

Did something happen with Black Adam? When checking out Hordak, I noticed that he was no longer on Tweeterhead's main page. I could find him by searching, but clicking on just takes me to a page showing the available-to-order statues (which does not include Black Adam).

I remember Chad at one time mentioning pre-orders would dictate the feasibility of producing the EX, but then I think something changed.... I can't imagine it went from being a hard sell to selling out.
