Yes, but that is from the product page itself, not from a newsletter... so, we were never officially informed of the change... not cool.

Are you on the square?

It may have been, but I personally rarely go back to read a description of a product I preordered weeks ago and is already sold out... but maybe that is just me...

Not just you Lonnie, not just you.
Very true, I guess cos I heard people mention it, I must have assumed it was from the Newsletter because I mostly just glance across them anyway. My bad
Lesson learned.

I know, that's why I mentioned that it was a sneaky web page update. Hopefully they planned to tell people about this at some point, but who knows?

Doesn't sound like they were gonna. Although they did move back the ship date. Hmmm.......

I'd be ^^^^ing pissed!! Mainly cause I did Flex-Pay and I won't cancell because of the fee. Or I might and sue for my fee for false advertising! OK, no I won't.

I kind of get the impression that prop replicas aren't really their strong suit, so it's entirely possible that they didn't realize the cost or difficulty involved in making the handle wood. But that doesn't excuse making a change without informing people. Maybe they're coming at it more from the point of view of a statue or figure making company, where the materials that are used are secondary to how they look. But when you're making a prop replica, the materials used are a pretty huge deal.
What other replica weapons have they made? I don't count the original Samaritan as a replica because it was made of polystone -- it's really a 1:1 statue of the prop.

That's so they can replace the metal with polystone.
They do that, and they can drop the ES to 50 cuz that's probably all they'd sell.
They will let you cancel flexpay if they have changed something and you
do not want it anymore. The will also waive cancellation fees and refund you
what you have already paid.
At least that is what they told me regarding another item I have on Flex pay.
I am still getting it but would have preferred wood!
Isn't that what R&D is all about!
But I'm pretty sure that there is plenty of machinery in China that can produce wooden grips for pistols.
But yea the cost likely increased or whatever excuse you want to use.
I emailed them.
yeah they definitely exist. Theyre set to sizes of real guns that have runs of hundreds of thousands and cover the extreme high cost of the machinery,
Im giving you real world ordeals.
... but Im sure youre thinking SS is trying to screw you one way or another or whatever excuse you want to use....

Maybe we could change the "got" to "want".
