"We wanted to let you know that the shipment of your Dog Alien Deluxe Maquette item will be delayed. Based on the latest production information, we now expect your item to arrive into our warehouse in June - Aug 2019."

What was the announcement again?

Just got mine...

"We wanted to let you know that the shipment of your Dog Alien Deluxe Maquette item will be delayed. We here at Sideshow have decided to push back this piece and any other future Prime 1 Alien and Predator pieces in hopes that you will buy some of the Sideshow Alien and Predator trash that’s warming our shelves. So please, help yourself and check your email for a $5.00 off coupon. Oh by the way, don’t get your hopes up with the Prime 1 Predator 2 piece either because we’re going to put that off until we sell off all of our Sideshow Predator trash. Don’t forget to let your geek side show!"

Oh god.. I don’t buy any of their products at all but all of their politics and trickery marketing tactics with other companies products is frustrating. I’m glad I won’t have to order through them anymore.

Can’t you just sell something without trying your worst at raping people.

Prime1, please don’t ever turn into this company.

Sounds like that SS rep swallowed a truth pill by accident.

I bet you this is sitting Sideshow’s warehouse right now.

Also notice that all the pieces that Prime1 partners with SS on, SS must have made Prime1 adopt the payment plan scheme where as the time draws near to release they shorten the payment window. You end up with less than 10 payments at Prime1

Now go back after all this has happened with the new warehouses, all of Prime1s newer stuff you have all the merchandise with like $89 payments for 15 months.

Sideshow only allows 8 at the most. Which makes things like Power Optimus Prime very difficult to make payments on.

It’s so you don’t go an order through Prime1s better payment plans.

That’s flipping crazy. What company would sign up on a deal like that? With the Exclusives, Sideshow makes make all the money.

Sideshow is like the Gamestop of the collectible business. [emoji23]

It is prime 1 delaying it, I'm sure it is just to get it right so I won't complain too much. It is however very strange that even with such a large Edition size, this never did go up for sale on Prime 1's own site.

 

[Puni]

but it did for the japanese side.

i was under the impression, that sideshow had a deal for the exclusive distribution for the western market.

Prime1 Japan told us this week that they will start shipping it this month.
Although, I don't know if it applies to Japanese customers (ordered directly at Prime1) or if it will be worldwide.

Cheers

It’s not for sale on Prime1s website though?

Interesting, so we should be able to see production pics soon

The dog was on sale on Prime1's Japanese homepage. I bought it there before it even became available on Sideshows site.

Hey I can see mine right there!!

(Honestly, I’m a bit concerned about the horizontal head/ neck key position. Must be a super strong magnet there to hold the head on)

To make you nervous.

To make you nervous.

With all of the production photos I’ve ever seen, this is the first one I’ve seen where they were worried enough about it not staying together that they shrink wrapped in place like that.

I suspect the tape is holding the piece together simply because these pieces are being moved around the assembly warehouse. Even with magnets/ etc. you can never be too careful.
