Darkness PF!!

[tomandshell]

I have a feeling that with all this unexpected interest, the edition size will be changed to TBA.

[JohnnyFavourite]

What would be cool is if the went ahead and made the exc. size 666:devil:devil:devil:devil:devil

So everyone would have standing 666 on his darkness, that's:emperor

[galactiboy]

This is crazyness... when is Darkness gonna go up!?!

[pjam]

I'm guessing between 10 and 10 after...

[King Darkness]

This is crazyness... when is Darkness gonna go up!?!


Not soon enought, thats for damn sure:devil:devil:devil:devil:devil:devil

[customizerwannabe]

I have a feeling that with all this unexpected interest, the edition size will be changed to TBA.

Yeah, but in all honesty, that interest, here in this thread is probably less than 25 people.

[Shai]

i bet everyone who post in this thread in the last hour or so will get one...:lol ..we're just freaks...lolll

[King Darkness]

Yeah, but in all honesty, that interest, here in this thread is probably less than 25 people.

Thats kind funny.

[Toastybuffoon]

I

Want

One

Now

[galactiboy]

Yeah,
I think its pretty unlikely this will be a super fast sell out. I love the movie and character... but its a lot of money and a big item.

[geto10]

10.00 PT now :D

[Toastybuffoon]

I've been refreshing front page, Toyfair page, and Darkness search

[Vader AL]

someone tell me what the freak is anyone gaining by not telling us when the damn order time is. it's not like i don't have work to do.

[Shai]

sideshow your late.... :tap

[galactiboy]

In reference to some earlier comments about the movie... I really prefer the Directors cut of the film. One thing I never liked was that godawful Tangerine Dream soundtrack... and to find out that it was released overseas with a Jerry Goldsmith score always made me a bit jealous.

In one of the special features (I'm paraphrasing from memory here) Ridley Scott indicated that he changed the score because during a screening some people who were stoned laughed a lot and didn't like the Goldsmith score... and later regretted it.

[vespagirl]

Perhaps it will go up for preorder later this afternoon like yesterday's preorders?? Like, 6:30ish PST?

[King Darkness]

Okay damit, the window has passed! Where the hell is the Pre Order?!?!?!?!?!?!

:devil:devil:devil:devil:devil:devil

[tomandshell]

It's funny--I'm not even that interested in buying it. I just want to see more pictures.

Thats not what Dusty said, and generally Dusty is highly reliable.

[wofford29]

I actually couldn't even sit through the directors cut with goldsmiths score. It made the movie seem completely out of pace. I almost felt like I was watching a movie with a soundtrack playing on my radio in the background.

[tomandshell]

Thats not what Dusty said, and generally Dusty is high.

Huhh??????

[El Roranous]

Thats not what Dusty said, and generally Dusty is highly reliable.
but she does like Justin Timberlake so...

There is no PPO for this, just straightforward pre-order, hopefully between 9-10 AM tomorrow morning (PST) - unless something happens, then it'll be later in the day. :duff

This REALLY pisses me off.

[IrishJedi]

Did you miss the part where Dusty said that she has NO control over when the items get posted on the site? Cut her some slack.

[tomandshell]

They® didn't announce a preorder time.

On an unofficial fan site, Dusty said that it would hopefully go up anywhere between 9 and 10 unless something went wrong.

So the use of "hopefully" should have clued us in that there was no time set in stone. And she also made a point to prepare us for a delay.

There was no official announcement at sideshowcollectibles.com that "Darkness WILL go up for preorder Wednesday at exactly 9 AM."

We got an hour long possible/hopeful window along with a disclaimer. Let's take it easy on poor Dusty.





But BSHERRIS--You might just be the most devoted fan I have ever seen!! I hope your power comes back soon, and I hope you are among the first to get your order in for Darkness--no matter how or when it happens!!

:peace

But why complicate pre order when sideshow could send all pre order in same time and not make people waiting, don't want to not sleep just for pre order item when release all in same time is possible

[tomandshell]

As an organization, Sideshow officially said this:

We will be posting more pre-orders tomorrow along with some great announcements!

We also saw this:

http://www.sideshowtoy.com/placed/020807darkness_03.jpg

Also this:

And don't forget to watch for the pre-order to be posted on Wednesday, February 14th!

Finally, this:

You will be able to place your pre-order for this fantastic figure, measuring in at approximately 23 inches in height, on Wednesday, February 14th at SideshowCollectibles.com. Be sure to check out every detail of the product with our Sideshow 360 [click here]. Watch our Toy Fair coverage for all the details!

i feel your pain. i had the same kinda crap today, snow, ice, power, surgery, blah. but i asked a very kind soul to order for me. took alot off my mind, even tho i was able to make it to the comp to order. definitely not Dusty's fault. and SS probably didn't expect this kinda turnout/attention or it woulda set up a PPO.

Finally, this:

...and your point IS??

[IrishJedi]

...and your point IS??

That there were absolutely no promises as to WHEN the item would be active on the site for pre-order... just sometime today.

[tomandshell]

...and your point IS??

My point was, after you said this:

Wasn't blaming Dusty per se...I said SIDESHOW as an organization.

I wanted to show that Sideshow "as an organization" (your words) never said anything other than the fact that Darkness would go on sale on Wednesday. You said that they should "stop *****king around with these preorder times and post 'em when they say they will."

My point was that "as an organization" they never gave us a specific time. They just said to watch the site on Wednesday. If it goes up on Thursday indtead, then we can accuse them of not doing what they said they would do.

But I do sympathize with your sitatuation and I hope you get your order in.

It sounds like 1 PM PST is the best time to check. Although it could be later. If it isn't posted on the web site, any time you hear is just a good guess.

[akamonrg]

It's better when they announced PO time, no surprise, no wait, you know when and you just have to be on sideshow website at the hour they told you.

Leave D alone, man!

SW dio is up for order.

[akamonrg]

Yeah pre order this one, so next one with legend and I can go to my bed for sleeping, having a good night :D

I really like the looks of this one, and definitely don't want to miss it.

[nash]

Me too, but apparently it is an "TBD" edition size,

says who???

[JSA]

I'm not gonna take a chance and miss out on the Exc.
The regular version is no biggie, and I can order that at a LCS any time.

Still counting down and hitting F5.............................. :cool:

how did you know? :monkey3

[hydrobud]

i think i have carpel tunnel syndrome from refreshing so much

[wofford29]

They can make as many of the regular as they want, but I hope the exclusive is set no more than 500.

[nash]

dont worry I hear unicorn horns are very mystical and rare.

[wofford29]

what the hell, everything else but darkness went up.

[King Darkness]

dont worry I hear unicorn horns are very mystical and rare.


This is true!

[galactiboy]

dont worry I hear unicorn horns are very mystical and rare.

Not as mystical and rare as a Liger... they're pretty much my favorite animal.

[darth dypshyt]

Wednesday at Toy Fair 2007 is in full swing on the east coast of the US - despite the weather! Place your pre-orders for the latest batch of items to be added to our store! Just click on a thumbnail above to be taken to the pre-order page. We have one more pre-order today - coming up shortly!


Damn you Sideshow!!:lol

[King Darkness]

Not as mystical and rare as a Liger... they're pretty much my favorite animal.

Ligercorns are way more rarer and way more cooler, cause they, like, have a horn and stuff.

[tomandshell]

"Coming up shortly..."

More like 23" tall.

[wofford29]

so does shortly mean another hour from now?

[Shai]

grrrrrrrrrr....:monkey4 wtf...this is too long....

[King Darkness]

No Darkness yet, but I did just order an Aliens from HTs!

[nash]

the alien looks nuts!

[galactiboy]

Okay... now its time for Darkness... Lets get it done!

[IrishJedi]

Crap crap CRAP!!!!! Now I just KNOW this is going to go up for pre-order when I am stuck in rush hour traffic. And as soon as I leave the office I'm heading straight to pick up my kids (while trying to avoid The Evil One... not Darkness, but the ex) and taking them out to dinner for Valentine's Day.

I very likely will miss this pre-order. :monkey2

:banghead :banghead :banghead :banghead

Seriously, the freakin' Hostel figure is up but not Darkness?? :cuss

[El Roranous]

Come on Sideshow. I need to do other things today.:lol

[hydrobud]

looks like this bad boy is gonna be the grand finale.....only 5 more hours to go

[Shai]

how short is ''shortly'' ???

[customizerwannabe]

5 hours? You kiddin?

[BSHERRIS]

Anyone wish to apologize for Sideshow jerking us around NOW?

[vespagirl]

I haven't been this unproductive and distracted since Spooktacular. :o

[galactiboy]

Anyone wish to apologize for Sideshow jerking us around NOW?

No, but it doesn't mean they're jerking us around either. No time was set... so we wait. No need to be surly :monkey1

[hydrobud]

5 hours? You kiddin?

well 6 pm is closing time at SSC :monkey2

[King Darkness]

I haven't been this unproductive and distracted since Spooktacular. :o

I know exactly what you mean.

[IrishJedi]

Anyone wish to apologize for Sideshow jerking us around NOW?

Well I'm certainly not gonna vent at Dusty if that's what you mean.

Someone call again and try and get a SOLID ETA on when this sum***** is really gonna be up.

Seriously, if they end up posting it when everyone on the East Coast is either in rush hour traffic or out to Valentine's dinner they're gonna be sorry. :emperor

Freakin' Left-Coasters (apologies to my friends out there). :monkey1

[customizerwannabe]

Maybe they think if we sit here long enough we'll break down, get bored, and order that vastly overpriced SW Dio.:rolleyes:

[Vader AL]

SS, why don't you want my preorder money? Why?

[El Roranous]

Is the SW dio the same size as the Marvel Vs line?

[darth dypshyt]

One would think/hope that it will be 2pm PST..:confused:

Someone at SS is getting their jollies out of this me-thinks..:lol

[Bodie The Cursed]

LOL.. you guys are funny.. *smokes a bowl and waits*

[IrishJedi]

Maybe they think if we sit here long enough we'll break down, get bored, and order that vastly overpriced SW Dio.:rolleyes:

Hahahahaha! That probably is their secret strategy. But I won't budge.

Ironically, if they wait too long they probably won't be getting my money (if the Exclusive sells out quickly) because I will only be online for another hour and then will be offline until AT LEAST 6:00PM PT. :monkey2

:cuss :cuss :cuss

don't even say that....they wouldn't do that to us over here would they? although for the Eastern time zone people it is after 4.

[Darth Waller]

Seriously, if they end up posting it when everyone on the East Coast is either in rush hour traffic or out to Valentine's dinner they're gonna be sorry.

I live 5 minutes from work and my wife is cooking me dinner tonight since it's my birthday, so no problems for me if it goes up after 5:00 CST. :monkey3

[Bullseye]

Whats the problem guys this is going to be up for three days at least before an edition size is set lol.

[El Roranous]

LOL.. you guys are funny.. *smokes a bowl and waits*
Not by Doom's pimp cup:rotfl

[customizerwannabe]

It's my brother's birthday too. You'll never guess what his name is...he got screwed.:D

[Vader AL]

Whats the problem guys this is going to be up for three days at least before an edition size is set lol.

SS hasn't said that so we don't really know for a fact.

[IrishJedi]

don't even say that....they wouldn't do that to us over here would they? although for the Eastern time zone people is after 4.

I've spent enough time in California to know that no matter how hard they try most people out there are on their own time and really cannot truly appreciate the Eastern Time Zone difference. I mean, they even have us waiting until 10:00 or 11:00 PM for highly anticipated Newsletters every now and then. :banghead

[El Roranous]

That's what they said about the maul exclusive

[Bullseye]

That's what they said about the maul exclusive

We got plenty of notice on Maul.

Or our poor European brethern waiting until 4-5am in the morning! :monkey2

[darth dypshyt]

I am just waiting for Tom to paste his famous.."SOLD-OUT" Sideshow order page..Darkness version...:D

[IrishJedi]

I say it again:

The Medicom HOSTEL figure was made available for pre-order on SideshowToy.com before the Darkness PF!

:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

:cuss

[JSA]

I'm a pretty easy-going fellow, but I'm even getting annoyed at this point.....
If I miss the exc. version while I'm on the road in 5 more minutes, I'm gonna
be mighty upset after waiting and refreshing repeatedly for hours now........

*takes deep breath*

JS

[IrishJedi]

Or our poor European brethern waiting until 4-5am in the morning! :monkey2

Yeah, but our Euro friends get so much vacation time I have a hard time feeling sorry for them in this area. :lol

[darth dypshyt]

Maybe Sideshow is behaving like our mothers used to...

The more you whinge and whine about it....the longer you'll have to wait!!:D

[Bodie The Cursed]

I love living in Cali.. :lol < LOL!

[LOTRFan]

Sorry to all your wives and or significant others --- delaying V-day plans for a spawn of hell. How are you all smoothing that one over?!

[Vader AL]

that's true and don't they work half-days?

[Vader AL]

didn't someone in customer service say 1 pacific?

[IrishJedi]

Yep. Jennifer told someone here that on the phone earlier.

Any loving, self-respecting wife or significant other should hopefully understand the scope of this endeavor!

Patience is a virtue clearly many of you here don't have!











:D

[customizerwannabe]

That was me. She told me 1pm after she asked someone while I was on hold.

[lcummins]

One more pre-order??

What about Sauron Legendary scale bust; ALIENS Loader; MGS 4 figures????

[IrishJedi]

Sorry to all your wives and or significant others --- delaying V-day plans for a spawn of hell. How are you all smoothing that one over?!

:devil

Easy. My girlfriend is out of state right now and she's actually encouraged me to order this. :D

I do have a Valentine's dinner date with my kids, however, and I'm not missing that for any collectible... even the Lord of Darkness himself. That's why I hope SSC doesn't screw me here by not considering what day it is and what time it is here on the East Coast.

[Darth Waller]

That was me. She told me 1pm after she asked someone while I was on hold.

Who'd she ask? The janitor?

[Darth Waller]

One more pre-order??

What about Sauron Legendary scale bust; ALIENS Loader; MGS 4 figures????

You're right. They have quite a few items left that haven't gone up yet.

[Toastybuffoon]

Who'd she ask? The janitor?

:rotfl :rotfl :rotfl

[IrishJedi]

One more pre-order??

What about Sauron Legendary scale bust; ALIENS Loader; MGS 4 figures????

They're probably all going up at the same time.

... which probably means about the WORST time for us here in Eastern time. :(

[BSHERRIS]

One more pre-order??

What about Sauron Legendary scale bust; ALIENS Loader; MGS 4 figures????

Maybe just for the fun of it, Sideshow can haul out for preorder some more bobbleheads that they can't seem to get rid of. :rotfl

very well said.

the least they could do is verify the ES or that is is TBD.

[customizerwannabe]

2 minutes!!! GET READY TO FUMBLE!!!!!!!

[Kookie]

Who'd she ask? The janitor?

Take it easy...Jennifer is very good..don't attack the messenger

[Chen Zen]

Who'd she ask? The janitor?

As a janitor I take offense to that :elefant

[Toastybuffoon]

2 minutes!!! GET READY TO FUMBLE!!!!!!!

Where you get this info??

[Darth Waller]

Take it easy...Jennifer is very good..don't attack the messenger

It was just a joke. I respect Sideshow's CSRs more than anyone else.

[Darth Waller]

It's up! :D

[akamonrg]

Wow 3 days thread and 73 pages, better than grey hulk :lol

[customizerwannabe]

Got it. Took 15 seconds

[Kookie]

It was just a joke. I respect Sideshow's CSRs more than anyone else.

I Know :D

Jennifer has helped me a lot....I'm protective :D

[Darth Waller]

I Know :D

Understandable. :cool:

Oh snap! :-) Too bad Valentine's isnt a day off for them yet. :rotfl

My only true love is Darkness! I will wait eternally for him. :D

[WetaWork]

Patience is a virtue clearly many of you here don't have!
:D

Not so much patience as it is that I'm about to have a hellish commute from downtown NYC.

The NJ Turnpike has turned into one big ice skating rink. I fully anticipate a 3-4 hour bus commute tonight. If they do list during my commute and set an ES of 500 or less for the exclusive, I expect to be getting on the wait list when I get home tonight.

[IrishJedi]

WHERE?????

I need a direct link!

[nash]

Not funny ... at all. :rolleyes:

it was up seriously for a minute

[customizerwannabe]

It was! I ordered mine. Now it's gone!!!
