And yet every company has dramatic price increases. All you have to do is look around. P1 pieces that used to be $799-899 are now $1,200. Koto bishoujos have all but doubled in price. Neither of those companies give me $60-150 in reward points every single year.

But hey, if you want to live with your head in the sand and think that Sideshow is the only company with dramatic price increases, by all means . . .

I'll give First4Figures credit too. They do a lot for their customers in the way of rewards and giveaways as well. But what you say is true, all the prices have increased and yet very few give anything back to the customer.

Here is a rough definition online for swag:

A slang term used to describe free stuff and giveaways offered by vendors at trade shows to encourage attendees to visit their booth.

This is why I said well played Sideshow. I acknowledge their marketing prowess to convince customers to buy swag. I even looked and considered it myself with that login limit, free shipping, and sell out hype.

Well played Sideshow...

I had that screen up that said “something cool is coming and the countdown was going to 3am here. Just woke up and it’s reset for a little over 4 hours from now. Wonder what that is all about?

You are wasting your time with this guy. Sideshow is the company that has raised its prices the most.

Sheepshow could crap on his head, he would still lick their butt.

The other companies don't do the gimmicky reward points because they actually put VALUE in their statues. None of that 6k production run crap. Do you honestly think that any factory can spend as much time on QC on a 900 run as on a 6k run? And I am not even talking about the most hollow and thinnest casting in the industry. It's a well known fact.

In the end, you know what you are paying for. The lowest production value and quality by far! But hey! Look over here, you can get SWAG!!

No they are not, every company has dramatically raised their prices across the board.

The irony with this post is that Sideshow has delivered some great production pieces within the past and current year.

Also, factories do prefer to work on projects with larger runs rather than smaller statue runs. So yes, they are prepared to take on that capacity.
