so much for promises p1 : (

This company has lost my respect.

They promised to be transparent and advise customers about variants well in advance.

Sigh...

Are you referring to something in particular?

That's a bit vague, care to elaborate?

But Prime 1 did state that they would inform us ahead of time regarding variants.

And no matter how you look at it, they're still variants even though they're for a 'limited market'.

As they're simply repaints of probably the exact same sculpt it's still in essence increasing the sculpt count in the market. Because it's not like these new pieces will all remain in China. Some will inevitably cross borders, and even if they didn't it doesn't make a difference.

But then even Sideshow has been doing it quite a bit. But they didn't make any promises.

Sorry, do you work for them, because your response gives this impression? I believe that this is a very tricky and disrespectful way to treat people. It is very cool to define a Edition size, ex Guts will be 999, sold out and then they just trow a damned blood and make this exclusive for an event and increases the edition size. More, they did tell that this would not happen. If you can justify everything in this world by saying that this is business we will be dead by the end of this week.

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