Premium Format Buffy Delayed ... Again

[slayerone76]

Hey, Just a note to all of you who would like to know ...

Dear Valued Collector,

Thank you for your order of the Buffy Summers Premium Format Figure – Sideshow Exclusive (item #71571FLEX) from our Buffy the Vampire Slayer Premium Format Figures Collection. We appreciate your patience in waiting for this Sold Out item to arrive into our warehouse. This email notification is to keep you updated with the most current information about your order with us.

Due to a production change on the 1/4 Scale Buffy Summers Premium Format Figure, we again have to move the final payment date of your Flex Pay schedule to coincide with the estimated arrival of this item, which is now expected to arrive into our warehouse mid-October 2006. Due to this delay, we have rescheduled your final Flex Pay payment to coincide with the arrival date of this product. Please note your final payment of $125.49 plus freight and any applicable sales tax or VAT will now be charged on October 10th, 2006. Please anticipate shipment of your order approximately 7 to 10 business days after your final payment has been processed.

I wonder if the delays mean we will be getting some more changes to the sculpt.

Hopefully this means they're fixing her hair to get rid of the weird mat effect.

I do hope the changes will be positive, not negative (like regular Willow)

They probably got bad feed back at the Comic Con and decided to due some last minute changes to the hair sculpt.

Hopefully.

I'm glad I didn't cancel my order now ... if they are once again changing the sculpt and correcting the issues.

sorry to bring this thread up but since the first post said that the fig is to arrive mid october, wasnt there somewhere that was posted that the new pictures should be up 1 month before the release? its already the 18th of sept. anyone has any news?

[BillyBudd]

I haven't heard anything.

Buffy seems to be on her way, not sure when though. I received my email saying that I will be charged the 10th, but there was no estimated shipping date. I have been checking the website for any new pics, and nothing has shown up.

When I get her, I will be happy to post pictures for you though.

[BillyBudd]

What payment plan did you choose? I am paying all at once, and I haven't received any e-mails.

The 10th is Tuesday. If Sideshow doesn't post pics soon, we won't have time to look at pics of the final product and decide whether or not we want to cancel. I remember Sideshow saying that pictures would be posted before we are charged.

They have the flex-pay on this one. Half up front and the other half before shipping ... I think thats how it worked.
