i kno how u feel man… i pre-ordered mine early august and got an email respond yesterday from the ppl i ordered from saying it is not in stock yet… i wonder y other places got them so early and US is lagging so bad…GGRRRRRR!!!
The votin sometimes bites. My gripe is how the hell Gen beat Guy in Round 3? WTF.
On a different note, keep in mind that the majority of the votes are fans of SSf2 Turbo and never played the other games. I also go to a toy forum(rival of action-figure.com,) where I heard from other’s opinions that they would stop collectin the line after getting everyone from Super Street Fighter II Turbo.
Even Sota said that they are now using popular characters sparenly, which imo, is too late since E Honda and Dhaslim are the only figures that ppl want the most(for reason mentioned above.) So, if Sota made the most popular characters(E-honda and Dhalsim,) now, most fans will stop aftwerwards, which will hurt the line
I really Want a ROSE figure
Wow, I called this one:
Shin Akuma variant just added.
Also variant colors for Series 4 added, and Series 3 delayed til 10/10/05…WTF? :mad:
Series 4 delayed til 1/15/06
Series 5 delayed til 4/15/06
Probably safe to assume that those dates will be delayed at least 2 to 3 additional months like usual.
I’m getting upset about this. Is there really THAT much demand for this stuff? It seems like series one was deliberately under-produced to create demand, but series 2 can be found almost anywhere I go, online or brick & mortar. If they’re using all the delays to produce enough series 3/4 to flood the market I’ma be pissed.
Is it just me or are some of the variants for Series 4 the original colors? Correct me if I’m wrong but I thought:
Akuma in dark gray not blue was his default.
Fei Long in gray pants not black was default.
Birdie in gray vest/pants not blue was default.
So now I have to buy variants to get the originals, WTF?
Yup. :sad:
I wouldn’t be suprised if Series 4 came out on time. It would be about the same time Series 2 hit earlier this year.
The biggest negative about the line is the huge gap between releases. Series 2 in Febuary, then Series 3 dosen’t show up until September??? It’s dangerous to have such a big gap between releases. Just like comic fans, action figure fans have extremely short memories. One day your the hottest thing around, next day nobody cares. UDON found that out the hard way.
Jerry from SOTA said that series one wasn’t as large a prodyction run as teh current series’ because they wanted to see how it would do.
That I understand…SF is a very old property, and taking a big gamble on something only the diehard faithful are sure to buy is a bad move. But Series 2 is everywhere. I actually saw some in Gamestop yesterday(dunno if they’ve always carried 'em…don’t usually shop there)in addition to the other stores I’ve spotted them in and all the websites have plenty to go around. But Series 2 didn’t take this amount of time to get off the ground, did it? I should think they have a good handle on how many they need to produce, and how much they are capable of producing in a time frame.
I’m not saying I won’t wait, but the longer in between series I have to wait, the more my interest will wain, because I think the longer they take the less likely they are to complete the lineup(which is the main reason I started collecting them).
Co-sign. I actually have (er had) a lot of faith in SOTA for actually completing an entire set of ST and possibly Alpha/3S which is why I started also. I’m seriously beginning to have my doubts though. If it weren’t for Series 3 being released in other countries already I probably would have assumed it was canned.
Fuck you SOTA…fuck you with a big rubber dick.
Series 3 delayed…again. :mad:
10/21/05
Yeah, that makes no sense since I picked up Guile and Balrog a week ago.
Where did you buy them from?
The first retailer that receives the first shipment is always Hot Topic- then everyone else receives the figures later, which is in a delay now.
I emailed a online retailer a day ago, they told me this:
I feel your pain.
I wouldn’t have minded if they said from the start something like late 2005, but the original date was early July, how can they get it SO fucking wrong?
i know!!! DANMIT!!!
IT BEEN MONTHS!!!
ROAR!!! GRRRRRR!!! AND ALL THE OTHER WEIRD NOISES!!!
:lp: :lp: :r: :lk: :hp: THEM!!!
With Alpha and 3S Akuma variants I’m assuming it’s still just a color change right? Meaning, they aren’t going to change the heads or the sculpt.
