Let the flipping commence!!!

Let the flipping commence!!!

Heh. Technically, he's not allowed to put that auction up, as 'pre-orders' on ebay are only allowed if the item is due out within the next 30 days. I pity the buyer who picks that up.

Question:
Why wasnt the first armored figure an "Inclusive"? Has that ideal been squashed by SS? I would think this would have definitely fit the bill.

Inclusives are dead and not a bit too soon.

 

[Darth Cruel]

I have a STONG preference for the Inclusive program. Although I have not missed an exclusive that I have tried for, I think it is just silly to make an exclusive version. The only purpose that I can see them serving is to make a select few people into jerks.

[Anzik]

When does this go up for pre order?

 

[The Josh]

I don't know if I'd say dead. I think it will be used when it has to be. Like with Vader.

 

[Shalamar]

When does this go up for pre order?

Feb 22nd. In other words, yesterday.

 

[galactiboy]

I think they are dead... you might be right Josh, but I would have thought we'd see another inclusive by now if they were going to continue them.

Old Ben, ANH Luke ESB Luke would have been prime ones IMO, but just regular PPOs.

 

[Anzik]

March 22nd. In other words, yesterday.

Oh I have plenty of time. Its only February.

 

[FQRizzo]

Oh I have plenty of time. Its only February.

Unless I missed something, he meant Feb 22nd.

 

[Shalamar]

Unless I missed something, he meant Feb 22nd.

Yeah. I screwed up the date. Feb 22nd.

You can buy the regular right now, but the exclusive sold out in 9 minutes.

 

[Anzik]

Yeah. I screwed up the date. Feb 22nd.

You can buy the regular right now, but the exclusive sold out in 9 minutes.

Yeah I was just being a smart ass to break up the inclusive debate. I got my exclusive in under the 9 minute sellout.

[DCFett]

Didnt mean to start a "debate" per se. Just wanted to know what gives. Im not sure what the "exclusive" does for collectors. I would be just as happy with the figure if everyone got the whole enchilada. Unless folks are really speculating on cashing in on some future value, I dont see the issue. Havent missed a PPO exclusive, but shouldnt everone get a little gummi Rex?

Nope, everyone shouldnt. The PPO/Exclusive system is in place so SS is sure they have a certain amount of orders through their site and probably to help clear production costs. I haven't missed a gold sticker yet and don't plan to. I also think the Inclusive system is a way to stick it to SS by saying "oh yea I'll get 3" and then say "no Ill only get one" and now they are left with two extra figures. I saw it happen with Maul and Jabba. Not only were SS left with extra stock but the secondary market is almost nil for some of these. Product saturation is always a bad idea and that's what Inclusive usually means.

I was at work all day but my buddy hooked me up with my general kenobi!

If they dont use it for Vader and for Boba Fett then it will be a very long day and their will be a lot of complaining unlesss the ES for the exclusive is like 3000. I think those two should definitely be inclusives.

Almost anything else can be a regular PPO exclusive.

 

[The Craw]

i can probably live without an exclusive vader. it depends on what the ex. accessory is. i can only think of a mouse droid or his severed mechanical hand from ROTJ. i would prefer the severed hand to be a regular accessory.
