I doubt it. Sales of the regular might off-set losses on an exclusive. As Chad said on Rogues Gallery Live last night, only 35 orders were placed for the Cheetah EX, but it's being made.

Borrow money from a pessimist, they don't expect it back.

I think he said end up making about 75 EX on her as may be the base level to produce. I expect them all to be sold out either by the time she releases or not long after.

I remember Bowen only made a little over 75 of the Beast in his blue and red costume. One will pop up every now and then on Ebay but usually goes for a large amount.

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

I think that was 35 orders placed through Tweeterhead, right? I wonder how many Spec Fiction received. That was another where Chad undercut his site by allowing an exclusive to be sold elsewhere. It's cheaper at Spec Fiction, so anyone familiar with that site would likely buy it there.
Chad did make it seem like he could not survive off of the regs alone. I was surprised by that, but it sounded like the discounts given to other retailers don't give him enough of a profit to make it worth his while, if I understood correctly.

Super few pieces get canceled once you have a prototype a few P1 pieces did, I remmeber many years ago SSC canceled the Rick O'Connel PF.

Yep, The way Sideshow does it for their accounts is their pieces can't be sold for less that 10% of what Sideshow sells them for.

I've always heard places like SSC gets the statues for 1/2 off. Probably why P1 had to leave.

Even better for TH. Might sell 500 of a really great statue.
