Sideshow Waitlist Question

Just curious if they ever cut off a waitlist or if they will let as many people who want to be waitlisted be on it?

Also, has anyone ever had any luck being on their waitlist?

Thanks,

- Mike

Yes and yes. The earlier you get on the waitlist, the better chances you have. There have been situations where I’ve seen the waitlist being full because Sideshow doesn’t want to get your hopes up.

My only experience was with Psylocke variant, which amusing I'm still on the waitlist. I do know others have had success with it converting though.

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

I had a skeletor convert but always wondered if it was someone’s return as it appeared open.
That being said I am on a waitlist right now for another statue that I hope goes through.
Also the skeletor was in excellent shape from what I could see so wasn’t a big deal to me. Just wouldn’t want something repaired sent to me as new. Seam to be hearing more unfavorable things about sideshow anymore. Have heard from many that had issues lately, but me personally, they have taken care of the very minor issues I had (replaced small statues head).

There are waitlists on Sideshow right now that are listed as "Waitlist Full" There are also waitlists that you can be on for years and with no chance of getting a statue.

Most problems with Sideshow arise from being too afraid of missing out. Don't become attached and treat each order as it is to Sideshow: "not personal, just business"

Most of my waitlist converts. Heck, I have had 3 statues convert twice.

^ I've never had anything convert twice. Hoping I do and wonder how they schedule those secondary conversions.

What Bill said.

I have seen where an item says waitlist full for an item I was still on the waitlist for, so in that case sideshow had to cut off the waitlist.

I had a recent waitlist conversion where it was clearly a return. A few broken pieces. Some of the pieces weren’t in bags or tissue paper. For the bags the previous owner didn’t put the pieces back into, they balled up and stuffed the bags into the empty parts of the styrofoam tray. The styrofoam had debris all over it, from what it looks to me being opened on the previous owners filthy @$$ floor. It was obviously taped back up by the owner and sideshow didn’t inspect it before sending it to me. I’ve never had a sideshow piece not have a quality sticker, and this one didn’t, so I knew it was bad business.

Most people won’t have this experience thankfully. But especially after that experience I don’t put anything past sideshow.

There are pieces without the QC sticker for the entire run just FYI.

Thanks. In all that I buy I’ve never received any. And still, sideshow sent me a quite badly shaped return either way. Shouldn’t have happened.
