TMNT is saturated with licensees but I like this Raph, and would get him as a standalone.

Me too. I emailed them over a month ago and called a few different times. They don't pick up and voice mail is full. This is crazy and should be illegal. I don't know how they are a company.

It's obvious PCS are a lot smaller than Sideshow. It used to be one guy (Jerry) plus the help. Now it's two guys plus the help, the difference being, neither can sculpt. From what i can tell, PCS (Ant & the other guy) obtain licences, have a sculptor/sculptors create the prototype, find a factory to produce the product, and have a couple of guys in a warehouse ship the product out once it's arrived from over seas. Given the amount of product being released, which is a lot less than Sideshow, then i guess the profit isn't there to have a CS person (or persons) in full-time employment. When Ant and the other guy arn't busy running their other business/businesses, i guess it's safe to assume it takes time getting licences agreed, prototypes signed off, factories to agree a price/timeline to completion. Then there's Bryon Webster (Action Figure @PCStoys!) who appears to be a full time guy at PCS. He appears to be the one doing the travelling, checking out the production pieces. It's anybodies guess how long he is away for each time, and how much he has to do to correct any issues he spots. As for PCS being missing in action, i guess the guys are too busy to waste too much time being unproductive on Forums, social network sites etc. If they were to have someone take down every question, phone call, and relay that to either Ant or the other guy, would probably take too much time. It appears PCS have taken the ignore route, and focusing on product, pre_order info, shipping info. I guess those wanting to cancel, wanting a refund are viewed as least priority, time-wasters, that will be dealt with at some point.

..am i close ?

I like the TMNT raph I see...I'm tempted to pick him up..but I won't pre-order from PCS..I'll just buy later on when they're ready to ship and ppl are selling the PO at a discount.

Why anyone Pre-orders from PCS anymore boggles my mind.

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

is pcs still in business? they stopped responding to customer service emails even for simple stuff like changing shipping address on an invoice.

Below is their auto reply, end of april my ass. It's now end of june and it's only getting worse. There is absolutely no credibility left with this company, old excuse from beginning of year was customer service rep car accident, what is the new excuse now? shark attack?

Quote:
