Doc, I'm telling you, I was shocked he did that after reading his stellar feedback record. I guess he was having a bad day, or something.

K80, I've preordered that one also. Some have complained that he looks like he's pouting, but I think he just looks really angry and am looking forward to this figure. Thomas Jane Punisher would have been my first choice, but this one will be a very welcome addition to my collection.

I left my story on his feedback thread. If any of you post on osw, his username is royalewithcheese. I felt I was very polite about sharing my experience. I'm sure the hate will commence any minute now. hahaha! If any of you post on OSW, go check it out when you get the chance.

As for WM, I'm definitely looking forward to him arriving in the US. I've had him on preorder since he was first offered, and can't wait to get him in hand.

Ugh. Thought I scored a Truetype Advance without the head (for my Sideshow Snake Eyes) for $30. The guy sent me his paypal info and thanked me for the purchase on the 10th. I was not online at the time and I paid on the 11th. Right after I paid, he sent me a message saying not to pay, that someone else bought the body. I asked why he told me we had a deal, only to tell me later that we didn't. He mentioned nothing about paying before someone else bought it out from under me in his message.

He said that he "clearly stated that payments must be made withing 48 hours." I wrote back, saying that receiving paypal id on the 10th and paying on the 11th IS less than 48 hours. He then came back with this:

"There is no point in squabbling over several hours. The fact is you responded too slowly and I will not wait for you, especially if others are willing to pay promptly. You had the opportunity, but failed to take advantage of it. You received your money and lost nothing, so why complain? I lost time waiting for you and that is the reality of the matter."

What the heck? He almost made it sound like I should be thankful I got my money back. This guy is a major jerk. The sad thing is that this guy has great feedback on the OSW forum. If I say anything on there, I'm sure it'll turn into a "he's been here forever and you're the new guy so you don't know what you're talking about" thing. So I figured I'd vent here.

Man, I need that donut head! Actually, I need the whole figure. lol He's next on my list.

Yeah, P1 Predator is the best. I got started with 1/6 figures too late to get that one at a decent price. I'm hoping to see Hot Toys do the classic Predator from the Predators film. That'll be close enough for me.

If the armor doesn't fit well, it's not translating to the pics. That thing looks amazing! P1 is still my favorite looking Predator overall, but the Guardian is incredible. Really digging the looks of the breathing mask. Nice score, man.

And HD, how in the world do you have such an awesome figure and NOT have it opened?!?!?!? Unacceptable!!!

Nice! Get some pics posted when you get a chance, man!

Understandable. You can't take it off without breaking the triangles that hold it on. To be movie accurate, they are actually supposed to be attached to the cowl anyway, so I used some electrical tape to reattach them. Someone else came up with the idea, and it works great. Something to consider if you ever decide you're not going to sell it and want it to look even more awesome than it already does.

The pic quality is crap, but here's my OC Batman with the velvet lforigno custom cape. My photography skills and poor lighting kill the look, but this thing is amazing in hand.

I always liked Flint, but I'm not real crazy about his head sculpt. I like just about everything about Firefly, but I just bought the OC Batman last weekend, and I've got 5 other figures preordered. I also want to get the T-1000, the 1984 Terminator, Black Widow, T-1000 Donut head, AND at least three truetypes. Two narrow, one advance. That's a staggering amount of money right there. Sheesh. It hurts when you actually type it out. hahaha!!!

I agree with you, K80. I got Duke and thought the same thing. I'm still seriously considering the Firefly figure, but other than him and the eventual Zartan, I may not fool with too many more Joes. I'd rather spend the money on a Hot Toys figure.

I could always use a truetype body, but not real hip on the sideshow bodies.

Yeah, Arnold's T2 Terminator. I like the spiked hairdo better. The punk rocker outfit on the original Terminator is pretty cool, though.

I keep trying to convince myself I don't "need" the first Terminator, but I know I'm going to end up buying it anyway.

I figured it looked a bit short, but I agree with you. This is going to be an amazing figure. T2 Terminator is still my favorite, though.

When the day comes that Leo is up for grabs, let me know.

Thanks! He's missing the smallest blade (the one closest to his hand) on the right wrist gauntlet, but for the price I couldn't pass him up. I'm hoping to find one from someone online, maybe from a failed custom or something, but if not I can always mangle the mangler gauntlet or just try to remove the blade from it and glue it on the other one.

Sometimes the routine LCS visits are not routine at all.

That sucks, dude. I've seen it discussed on the sideshow forum. Doesn't seem terribly complicated, but still it's a hassle you have to fix it in the first place.

I don't like how much shorter the hair is on the BD head, but if that's how it looked in the movie, so be it.

Hey K80, I think you may need to sell me your OC Batman to help fund your T-800 purchase. hahaha!!!

Crap! I might as well just sign my life over to Hot Toys. They're going to own me before long.

Wow, if it sells you'll recoup most of what you spent on Sarah. Good job!

I hope my Superman gets close to that. He's currently sitting at $5 with a day left. I sold my GL mates as a set. I've got Kilowogg, Hal, John Stewart, Guy Gardner, and Salaak and it's currently $39.

I've been debating on the collection vs. individuals, and I still feel that selling singles or small lots is the best way to go. Yeah, you get burned sometimes, but more often than not it works out.

Awesome! Good for you!

Sarcastic Christian Bale voice?

I didn't think of that when I posted it, but yeah, let's go with that tone. You and I are done professionally.

Guardian Predator waitlist is converting!

Awesome! Good for you!

Yeah, I was even thinking of a Batsuit along the lines of the sculpted bodies. The new Predators figures, or the Wolverine or T-900 bodies, for instance. Probably wouldn't look quite as nice, but it would make for less of a statue.
