Well if they are going to the "in stock" system it will not stop people bitching I bet. It seems that there is no winning with "certain" communities. I liked the pre order system so that there was a ton of stuff to choose from. Only complaint I have is that on occasion there are items with no picture. Not a big issue.
You mean Joe fans. They're the whiniest, cheapest bunch out there. I guess it has to do with the fact that a single figure is $5-10, versus some other toy lines.
Yea, I could understand if it took a year to get something but considering they make it according to orders is perfect. It allows them to get everything people want in their hands. Now I would imagine they could see what the better sellers are and make accordingly but that will always change. People have different projects in mind as compared to what they may have the first time. The order I placed yesterday was a few different heads for future projects. Odds are, next order would be completely different.
I really am sad to see the PO system go, but I guess they're doing what works best for them and they're testing it out. Who knows, it may work out really well so long as the proper stuff stays in stock and they do adjust based off what demand seems to be. If something keeps selling out, it'd make sense.
Yeah, the only way they could make everyone happy is to stock every item in their inventory, and have a lot on hand of each sculpt. Obviously, that's not feasible as they would lose so much money, it's not even funny. Even then, I'm sure people would still find something to complain about.
Yeah, people will always complain. Especially in the nerd community. Having everything in stock would never work, you're right. And I can't imagine that all items will sell very well. But I think it may suck for those wanting the few niche items that don't sell really well. But again, I hope it works out well and Slayer gets more business than less.
Really, the only wait problem I've had is since the shipping notification was sent for an item that apparently wasn't. I am fine with waiting, there's plenty of stuff to do in the meantime and it gives me a break from customizing. It's been 3 months since I've had my work desk out, and it's kinda nice to have a break. I am starting to want to get back to it though, as I have about 10 customs that need finishing or starting, and Slayer parts are a key part of nearly every custom I attempt now.
