Whatever happened to the anticipation in collecting this stuff. I enjoy the excitement building up to a release.
I don't need you guys to rattle off how eFX is terrible with release dates, I know all about that. However, would you rather have a company that spends its time in wanting to achieve a perfect product (Vader Legend helmet), or a SS-esque company where after a delay or two they throw some paint on it and ship it to your door. In doing that, they screw up the exclusive, so they alter the wording that made you order it from them in the first place!
I took me (and most here) years to acquire the collections we have. But that's the point of it. The thrill of the hunt for that next sought after piece. What fun would it be if we all ran down to the local retailer and plunked down some cash for our grail character piece. Wouldn't be a grail at all, because there was no fun in hunting that piece down and adding it to your collection.
Will this piece be a long time coming - probably. Will Bryan & Gino make sure it's the best replica prop of the ship available and not cut corners - absolutely.
Can you say the same thing about SSC and their products?
