Sideshow looks to be getting a little big for their britches lately. Maybe this economic downturn will bring them back to good customer service.

I guess the demand for this piece is high. Sideshow wants every collector to have the piece I think.

Bowen Designs does it all the time. If you order more than 1 and the demand is high. Bowen will limit to one per person, so every collector can have the piece.

However, this is the first time ive heard from Sideshow

Hot Toys Iron Man mark II - A little annoyed with Sideshow

So when this product was listed for pre-order, there was a limit of 2 per account. I ordered two (two different order numbers) and had it listed in my account for months. This morning, I get an order update notification that one of the orders is cancelled and for no reason. I know there are people on the waitlist but I feel like Sideshow should honor their initial listing.

I promised one for a friend as well - this really bites and I am incline to cancel more orders if they stick to this policy.

So it would appear this is not an isolated incident.
I hope someone gets an explanation from Sideshow as to why they have done this.

This is exactly what I have done/am doing. Moving must haves over to corner store comics and cancelling the others.

You know I can get the regular edition of many of their pieces for far less at retail guaranteed so I will cancell all my pre-order with them - I only regret I did not order Mark III with the retailer.

Thumbs down

with sideshow making so many pieces and selling out on a consistent level they can go about doing what they do without any explainations, kinda sucks, sorry to hear about them squeezing you out ODDBALL.

Disappointing to hear this oddball. Sounds like a slap in the face.

Thank you for the information.
