Re: NEW Medusa limited Release Rattle Warning > Partial nudity WAITLIST

Can't believe people get so wrapped up about a number, as long as you get one why isn't that enough? It just oozes greed.....ARH calls the shots, we don't. They are in a bad spot. The demand was more than they thought and people were, yet again, left with out a chance to get one so ARH tried to make it right...... Now they can't make everyone happy since they have, thankfully, changed their minds.If a simple stamped number means that much to someone than just cancel it.

so correct me if i read that wrong, your sayin WE'RE being greedy.............um ok, I must've been out in the sun too long today
(we did hit 41)

So the regular will also have the name plate? And like what was just stated... If it says 15/50...this sounds like duplicate number cluster eff if there is no difference whatsoever

Re: NEW Medusa limited Release Rattle Warning > Partial nudity WAITLIST

So numbering is the only difference? Both statues are the exact same, that is, the statue comes with everything advertised with the EX version (nameplate, 2 arrowed fallen guy, removable breastplate, etc..)???

Back to the point of being upfront yes I hope your not upset. It was an unexpected turn.

Understood. I'm glad you guys have come to a decision and drawn a line in the sand about the future production of this statue.

Re: NEW Medusa limited Release Rattle Warning > Partial nudity WAITLIST

Dingo:

If an individial, not the entire collector fan base, would rather not allow another person to purchase this statue because it would make theirs slightly less exclusive, I think that is greedy.....I would rather more people enjoy it myself. The demand caused ARH to accept more orders and because they gave some what they wanted you are saying THEY are greedy?!? looks like I need some sun block..........

Re: NEW Medusa limited Release Rattle Warning > Partial nudity WAITLIST

Anyway, I love this statue. Glad to be able to get one. Glad additional collectors can get it also. But as a collector, I don't want any doubts about the lineage of the statue. If the Reg numbering duplicates the EX, that would be bad. Worse would be if they are 15/15, which would make them more rare than the EX.

Hello Skillet
No there will not be 2
15's floating out there

And no the ES will say 15/50
Regular - ES

There just not going to be made. So lets say 15 orders on the waitlist then 15/50 Reg but we will not make the other 35
People look at the EX as special, but what is special that you have one of these. You are one lucky guy!

We are not saying another 1000 statues here, we are saying Aprox 15. So if you think with me, its not going to matter since no one will care once this beauty is sitting and looking straight at you on your shelves./

I tell you what brother, come back and visit this thread in a few months when you get yours and we will talk about this.
This statue is amazing, ask anyone who has it now from our sales before. The ES topic is really silly, you know no one will be selling theirs.

In fact ask VS, right here! He had been looking to buy one for over 2 years!

Lets all do an experiment, right now go on Ebay and type in ARH Medusa, how many do you see for sale?

As they say the proof is in the pudding No one wants to get rid of these!
It is that specular! It is that good!

If it was an open ES or even 2000ES and we produced 50 and then another 500 I would have been sooooooo.... very upset with Arahom, but you know we are not doing this. Its simply not going to happen! Its just not the way we do things here.

Re: NEW Medusa limited Release Rattle Warning > Partial nudity WAITLIST

I agree with all you've said, Averone. Again, not upset, just want clarity around numbering. I agree with Dingo, just do away with EX or REG. Just make it ES of 75, waitlist another 10 and close it out. Very glad that you are here to respond to our concerns.

 

[s_paulik87]

Re: NEW Medusa limited Release Rattle Warning > Partial nudity WAITLIST

hmmm, didn't SOTA do something with the ES Numebring on their exclusives/reg? Like the EX would be xx/65 1-50 and the reg would be like 51/65 where 51 would be the first number of the regular and it would say "Regular Edition" or something to at least differentiate the 2 SOMEHOW.

That is if you are doing 2 ES's. But if they are the same exact statue, I agree with some other's. Just increase the ES to 15 or 20 more whatever the number is while the waitlist is still open and make it xx/65 or whatever the number ends up being. Jerry did the same with Reptile. The demand was so big he just raised the ES 50 and made them all xxx/150 instead of messing with 2 different ES for the same statue and no one really minded. So I don't see people minding if you just do that. Maybe bring that point up? It would jsut be a lot less confusing when people are looking back a few years from now trying to figure it all out =)

I think that would be a smart move. It would eliminate confusion. If your going to close the waitlist orders in a couple of days anyways just add that number to the run on the EX if there is zero differance in the statues.

No cluster effs here, its will have reg and EX numbering.

There are no differences expect for the designated Reg or Ex Numbering

Understood. I'm glad you guys have come to a decision and drawn a line in the sand about the future production of this statue.

I wish we had a good grasp of this, we had no idea this would have been this popular. As I am sure, I will get emails a year later when this is sold out!
I never expected this to sell so fast at $800 a pop!
Trust me, 10 more is just a little pocket change, its for the fans we are doing this. We want you back!

just make the ES 70 or 80 and and be done with it

ES is sold out at 50! We cant!

Now, now, no one is greedy here. If you are a collector and you got one of these consider yourself very lucky and in the elite ARH Studios grail section. Your only greedy if you buy more than one of these to sell later!
And I know no one here has more than one purchases.


If you think we are greedy, I hope this is simply not the case. Its not money in our pockets for a vacation! LOL
Im using this money to make Ares for you. Arahom is using it to help pay for the Minotaur. Guys dont forget Im a collector too! I understand what you are thinking

no mate i wasn't callin anyone greedy you were, re-read your post
yeh i was pissed like a few about them not being up front, but end of the day you cant blame ARH for trying to squeeze a few more out (just a few) they put out some good stuff, i'm glad i got this girl she'll be overshadowing BR Leonidis, and i'm glad for you, but don't try putting words in my mouth

Yes I will suggest that. I will ask for all of you. But I think the whole point of this was not to raise the ES! Im not sure if it will matter at the end, but yes less confusion. The factory will do whatever we tell them

I like to hear more about this from the guys who already purchased the EX, I am all ears to your ideas. Remember only Aprox 20 guys from this forum purchased one, so there are others who have to be heard

If you dont mind and enough people are ok with it then I will offer this to Arahom.

Im all ears .....

Your vote counts

Funny, that's exactly what it sounded like you were doing to me when you said " your sayin WE'RE being greedy"........made it sound like I was calling out the entire fanbase, no, just those that opposed others having a shot at this.

 

[Vader AL]

Re: NEW Medusa limited Release Rattle Warning > Partial nudity WAITLIST

Choices are:

1) make the ES 65 (or whatever the 50+regulars is) for the EX

or

2) make 50 EX and 15 Regular edition (or whatever Regular # is)

I think what they are doing (#2) is the closest to making the EX preorder owners happy in this imperfect situation.

I am an EX waitlister in case anyone was wondering.

 

[wanderlai]

Re: NEW Medusa limited Release Rattle Warning > Partial nudity WAITLIST

Thanks averone. I dont really think anyone would object if your going to make 75-80 of the exact same statue. Numbering would then make sense. The only guys who would object are ones that only thought 50 total were being made but now that your going to make 75-80 anyways, I just dont see why 2 differant numbering systems would really be helpful to anyone. Good move to get feedback from the guys who already ordered though.

Re: NEW Medusa limited Release Rattle Warning > Partial nudity WAITLIST

Aver. there's no such thing as "we cant"
tell that foreman in China you're gonna extend the ES
and then tell him to break the mould

 

[s_paulik87]

Re: NEW Medusa limited Release Rattle Warning > Partial nudity WAITLIST

I have one of the first 50 of the ex. I'm all for just increasing the ES to 75 or however many people are on the waitlist. Way less confusion in my opinion.

Lets just forget about this, I think its just sounded wrong.
There is no arguments about being greedy, everyone is looking for a valued product.
You all should be very happy your in the know. Not many outsides of the forums have even heard about this! No retailer advertisement, no ads nothing.
This is a very special run and in fact very exclusive
