I didn't vote, cause I don't want to tell SSC WHAT to do, but it's clear that they SHOULD do something to avoid these situations in the future. I belive they are smart enough to come up with a suitable and CLEAR solution to keep ALL their collectors happy.
Ok, I changed my mind: I'd like to have the AP Cave Troll they still have as a compenstion.
Increasing the ES is something I probably wouldn't have done, but choosing a odd number is pretty cool, and also a small strike against scalpers that put the Grey Hulk on Ebay days ago, stating a wrong ES of 150 now.
Personally I love the low edition sizes, but this unexpected adjustment of the ES (https://sideshowcollectors.com/forums/showpost.php?p=198175&postcount=256) , will make this piece even more notable in the future. SSC is building a legend here, even though some of us see this situation as a curse. The curse of the Grey Hulk. It will become a perception among collectors, if it hasn't already reached that status due to the Grey Hulk Vs. piece.

I do care, among other collectors. But I agree: 29 is peanuts.

one of your items was Marvel Grey Hulk Premium Format figure.

Hey all,
As I said even though we try to hit the mark everythime, we do make mistakes. I am sure if you compare the hundreds of products that we have brought to the market over the past fews years with the number of edition size issues, the screw up factor is extremely minimal.
Obviously, in our grey hulk alert posted from SF, the return by date should have been Aug. 9th not Aug 4th, too.
Best,
Chicky

All I know that the Gray Hulk Vs Spidey piece is looking that much cooler to me now in terms of collectibility.
They could have offered a "bump" system like airlines do to keep the ES at 150. In fact, they *still* could and I can't imagine anyone crying foul.
With airlines you give up your seat if the plane is overbooked to get a free ticket on the next flight (as I'm sure you all know.)
SS could say they need 29 volunteers to cancel the Grey Hulk order to get something free of equal or lesser value.
I'm sure 29 people would give it up to pay *nothing* for say a 1:1 bust or another large scale PF. Many flippers will just turn theirs over to effectively get one or more other collectibles w/the profit anyway. Offering a bump system gives them the same opportunity but keeps the ES nice and svelt at 150.

That's an interesting idea, Khev.
