Not really sure who you are referring to with your comment. I didn't see dramatic hoopla or conspiracy theories, just a few comments concerned about why they were missing.

Sorry not sorry that I sent a message to Sideshow to look into it.

Was not directed at you. But here are some samples.

Not seeing an edition size either. Maybe the new business model will involve panicking potential buyers to impulse buy. Could be 100, could be 3500 lol

So far, I am not a fan of this redesign.

The issue before is if they put up a large es, lot of people wait and dont order. If they do a small es and the statue became popular and gets sold out they miss all the profit. The way it is now, they can increase the es indefinitely as long as the statue is popular, meanwhile hide the large or changing es from buyers to avoid any issues that affect their buying decision

Like someone said, just view it as walmart not some limited collectible anymore, those days are long gone. Preorder the ones you really truly love / must have (which for me never happens anymore, sideshow pieces no longer create that emotion response...they all just seem cookie cutter). Wait for in stock and inhand photos for the ones you love, and wait for discount + free shipping for good to have.

If you miss a few, you miss few. The days of reselling them later to get your money back is long gone it's like winning jackpot to be able to sell a statue later and not lose money once you add on sideshow shipping + tax (~$100) on buy side, then ebay 15-20% fee + shipping on sell side. Looking at $250-350 in addition to msrp just to break even. For the europe guys i dont even know what they are smoking buying from sideshow lol

Those are just in this thread. The "Sideshow First! 2023 Event" has several of them also. I was just remarking about it. The doom and gloom about ES can be over now.

I like the way they simplify things and make the website look a little more stylish. I wasn't a big fan of the old layout.

All the pages I like are still there. Not a big change in content. New look for the new year. All good to me.

I guess slopes/angles are the in thing..
No doubt a future website will see the straightening out of the slopes/angles. And on it goes

While i do not like the new lay out, i found the previous one to be more friendly, estimate size are still there with what version you getting. The only time i don't see the estimate number is on the item that were TBA before. The estimate number is on the picture if the item.

Hmmm.... For the record, I was clearly being facetious...hence my intentional inclusion of the "lol" at the end. Tough crowd...
