UPDATE:Origins Angel arrives in the next 5-7 days

[ajmets]

Hey guys, I just got this email. Thought you'd want to know. Man, sideshow doesn't give us a break. It looks like they are going to whack us again with a bunch of figures coming out all at once...werewolf oz, regular oz and Angel so far.

Dear Valued Collector,
Thank you for your pre-order of the 12” Orgins Angel Sideshow Exclusive from our Buffy the Vampire Slayer Collection. We appreciate your patience in waiting for the arrival of this pre-order item and we would like to inform you that the item will be arriving in our Los Angeles warehouse within approximately the next 21 days.

Oh dear. I don't think I can afford 3 of these at once: both Oz & Angel.

Hmm I know I cancelled this figure. The exclusive accessory doesn't excite me all that much and I can wait to get this one. And I just totally got this email too. So much for Sideshow's new fancy system. I'll try to cancel it once again.

[ajmets]

The least Sideshow should do is allow us to combine freight. When they have at least 3 figures shipping within days of eachother they should give us the option of shipping them all at the same time and only charge us freight once. That said, of course I'm still very pleased that Sideshow is even making Buffy/Angel figures and doing an awesome job on most of them.

I didn't think the exclusive of this figure was that neat, so I just ordered it off of time & space toys, along with an instock figure awhile ago. Which means, thankfully, that I've already paid for this one. That's one less figure that will be taking a bite out of my wallet this next month.

Glad I skipped ordering this one from Sideshow. They should get their shit straight...once again shipping so much at once. Kinda ridiculous. Definately makes me think twice about preordering...waiting for them to become available for $20 on Ebay is getting more and more tempting.

I got this email today too. This is going to be one expensive month coming up, I ordered Oz, Exclusive Oz, Werewolf Oz, and Origins Angel.

Sideshow Subway Spike should be out soon as well, as he is also due 3rd quarter (July/August/September)
Xander is also due 3rd quarter.

So far Vampire Buffy is the only one that is shipping in the 4th quarter. I wonder if they"ll announce any figures for the latter part of the year. I'm still hoping for a Vampire Xander, Cordelia, and Giles to be out this year. Even though it will be more money, the money will be worth it.

Same situation for me too - I've got all the new releases coming and it really pisses me off when they release them all at once. You can try and call them and request that they ship them together but they won't guarantee you that they will. What really annoys me is that Origin's Angel was supposed to ship out 2nd quarter and then they bumped him up to third quarter as well. Hopefully, Xander and Subway Spike will be towards the end of the third quarter.

I am excited about getting them all but I kind of like it better when you get one or two at a time. Lets you appreciate them a bit more than when you can bombarded with a half dozen all at once!!

If Xander gets shipped anytime soon, I will definately be cancelling my preorder. The yearbook just isnt worth it. Does anyone know if the yearbook will be all burnt up or normal looking? If it is burnt up, I'll go ahead and cancel the preorder right now.

[ajmets]

Hey, just got the notice that they would be charging my card and it would be shipping to me in 5-7 days. I have to say I'm a bit ticked because at the very same time I rcvd my notice that they'd be charging for Oz as well and yet no break on shipping. Amazing.

[jmay25]

ah. the bright side: within a few weeks I will have 3 new sideshow figures added to my display.

the down side: a few weeks straight of macaroni and cheese for dinner.



Oh well - I am glad these are coming out despite the money woes. It's my fault for being "preorder obsessive compulsive".

[FireflyFlanatic]

Expensive month for me as well. I also have ordered both regular and exclusive Oz, Werewolf Oz and Angel. Regular Oz is coming from a different store though. I think I'm going to call Sideshow and ask them if they can ship Angel and Oz together. I've done that in the past and they won't give a guarantee but it's worth it to ask to save some money.

[buffyfannumerouno]

I should ask them to do the same considering that I have spent so much money at their website in the past. I can't wait to get this amazing figure. He looks really good.

[FireflyFlanatic]

I did call and asked them about combing the shipping for Angel, Exc. Oz and Werewolf Oz and they said "No problem". Normally they say "we'll try but can't guarantee...yada, yada, yada". So that should save me a little bit of money anyway.

I just noticed the Sideshow exclusive version of Angelus is still available on their website. So this thing'll probably be on pretty good clearance in a few months on other sites or ebay.

[FireflyFlanatic]

I just noticed the Sideshow exclusive version of Angelus is still available on their website.

He's only available in Europe though. This is weird though because he supposedly was completely sold out not too long ago. Umm, do they have Comic Con over in Europe too or do they always put some of the exclusive figures for Comic Con aside for their European warehouse? If that's the case maybe that's why they are listing him available now.
