I'm trying to think that way too dude, and I also hope that these delays fix any QC and cheapness that might arise with Bats. I might stand a little corrected when I said that a higher ES means lower quality and QC problems. Have you seen the thread for the Predator 2 Legendary Scale Bust? What a nightmare for the customers who spent the $450 bucks and bought that thing. I think that started of with a pretty low ES all together (might be wrong though). I know sometimes the production pics are not always gonna look like the prototype. There's usually a few miniscule differences that people can normally live with, but the final production pieces in comparison with the prototype pics in that thread are completely night and day. It's not even close. To top it off, Sideshow went so far as to change their gallery photos from the pics of the prototype bust to the pics of what people are receiving now to keep from all the backlash that's getting tossed their way. That's the shadiest thing I've ever seen from a company, and it's crap like that scares me when I, or my wife (since she bought Bats for me) drops $400 on an extremely high ES product in hopes that it doesn't arrive with major QC issues. All I know is, the more reading I do on this board, with every nightmare story I come across, the more my positive thinking goes into a downward spiral, and the more faith I lose in SS. This one was bad.

Could be an amazing towel rack. Or you could install a shower head on it unfortunately it would look like it's peeing on you though 
Upset?
It will be epic! I think King's and 89 man aswell so get in quick!
I agree, but next time you make a point don't use bold blue text, I still have a headache from reading it
