It's always random times. Freeze is prime 1 but that was late evening when it went up.

But at the end of the day every piece is attainable. Whether you sell off a few other statues or work a few extra hours. If it's a must have piece then those who missed out can get it it's just going to take a little extra work. But I hope everyone is eventually Satisfied with the outcome of this. And some good people flip for a low cost
750 is low but it's not low enough to where these won't be all over the aftermarket.

Takaboi thank you! You are one of the few sane ones here and Mr. Jones. It's not even a hobby forum, it seems like these people hate themselves for collecting statues.

Do you guys enjoy these things at all?

I think most were just caught off guard at how quickly it sold out and are now bitter about it.

Is it too late to retract my apology to him?

Ah you're right, I forgot this did sell out less than 10 mins. But based on sideshow history, camping on the computer for 30-1hr shouldn't be hard if you really wanted this

I was having a hard time finding the item on their website around 12pm that day!! They didnt post the link to the Thanos EX until the waitlist became available

Didn't need to listen to forps. When they announced the ES it was obvious to me it was going to sell out right away and I made sure I ordered as soon as it came up because I didn't want to take any chances. I thought it would go in an hour but it went even faster. Apparently $1200 was in no way a deterrent.

A few of us DID say don't play games with this piece sitting on a low ES. If you want it, order minute 1. Wasn't just forps.

Now ssc is getting a backlash on this whole fiasco and rightly so they should be.

You'd just make it easier for flippers to just come in at that exact time that its supposed to come up, and scoop it from right underneath you. Being it random, even flippers missed out. Like it or not, it was fair. I didn't know the time, and i managed to sit there for a few hours refreshing and waiting for po's to open, and I got one the minute it opened up. Simply put, like many others have stated. When you get a heads up advanced notice, and you really want something, youll do everything in your power to get it. Again, I dont know why you're surprised about that? Is this your first time to the rodeo?
