In a way its great that they are getting all the JP lines out so quick, but I wish they would space them out abit like maybe have the raptor go for pre-order in the new year and they could of just had the stego, compy rex bust and breakout for this year. But I guess its all about supply and demand and people not having patients on waiting for certain things lol. I guess Chronicles are not like hot toys thank god pushing so much ---- out lol.

instead of a piece being $749 for 30 days...and then $799 from day 31-until sold out...why not make it $749 until sold out? but I've said my peace I see no reason for me to post about this anymore.
The Raptor bust is very nice.

The only reason we have ever offered pre-order discounts was due to the fact that people here wanted it.
We offer pre-order discounts for the first thirty days, after that we open our products up to US wholesale. We don't want to compete with our US distributors so we set a final retail price.
After about 60 days we know how many units we are going to sell and while we've started production, we set the edition size.
I will continue to offer pre-order pricing. The 1-1 Raptor has saved a lot of collectors hundreds they can apply to shipping.
So like it or don't like it, it's not going anywhere anytime soon.
I would like to initiate a discount for loyal customers. I promise we'll work on getting that in place for 2017.
Also regarding the Black Friday sale, nothing will be discounted deeper than the pre-order pricing and it's for the weekend only. Holding large items in stock takes up space and we can use that money to fund other projects.

What fees? I didn't pay any fees for my stego Marquette. This isn't financing. More like a lay away.

Are we going to be able to use the payment plan on these items or are you trying to get rid of them quickly?
What form of payment should we use since it's STUPID to use cash? Women, drugs, cookies, kidney, land, statue trade-ins?
Can I send you my Hot Toys Ed-209 and get a discount on my ED-209 maquette?
