It’s like no one here really knows anything but they all pretend to. They pretend they are Geoff or pretend others are Geoff. It confuses me. I just wanted to be sure I could get the figures in June like it was said it would be. Who knows now! How come noone from Shocker will come here and set this all straight? Not just more boardies but a real person that works for the company.

The topic is the second shipment that is coming in June. Why can’t we talk about that?

And none of this was a complaint…simply a question about when they would drop at TRU and why this site was implying they may not drop at all. That’s it, simply asking for a clarification as to why whomever writes the rumors on here said the second shipment may not come because of IS2.
No complaint, I am just waiting until June…but I was curious about the strange reports that pre-order sales were low, but then they were sold out, and the second shipment may not come at all…blah blah blah…I have posted and re-posted this stuff several times. You can go look at it. They were easy questions, not attacks, not whining, not complaining.

Simply asked a question and I got nuked. Perhaps therein lies the sales problem, no?

if you want to buy one just buy one and stop complaining about shipping dates and local shops not stocking them when they are freely available online.

If you need serious answers and they are burning you up inside go to their site and email them direct. That is what I do with NECA, Mezco, SOTA and a few other toy companies who take the time to respond. I can also understand the confusion about all of this but honestly step back and look at this from outside the bubble. People say things like it was on a sinking boat, robbed by pirates, Diamond canceled due to comic shop scams, the products are not here because the people showing them are mailing the same figure back and fourth. If you saw all that you would be confused too.

Not only that but if Diamond did really screw them over that bad do you think they are giving stores the truth when they call? Comic Shop Owner” Hi can I order the Indie Spotlight from you?” Diamond’s replies” We have never heard of it”, “It is sold out, sorry”, “Psssss hey I wouldn’t order those they are no good”. Now local comic shops have a bad taste in their mouth due to all the crap floating around on the tubes. Well if you can’t get it at your local shop and they give you a hard time why give them your business? You can support a company better by ordering direct, that is what I do. Eventually they will realize; hey this stuff is in demand and I need to get some for my customers. I have walked into many shops to order something only to get a crabby owner who doesn’t give two bits about the customer as if he can do what he wants and still make money. With that type of attitude you will only lose money. As for Geoff that goes for him to and I agree the customer is king!

With that said I would like to apologize to Mr. Gone for my outbursts and continue on a sane discussion about Indie Spotlight and how we can help get it into our local stores.

My focus is on the toys. But when you say “they have been released” you are incorrect. From Shocker Toys’ own previous statements, this initial release was only a small release just for the pre-orders and a few more.
Now it seems that it changing, rumors were dropped about the second wave being delayed, or not coming at all. I asked about it and Geoff went bonkers (I mean it’s all right in this thread.) I didn’t make any of this up to stir up trouble!

Now we’re being told that the first wave WAS a large release. And I am asking, if that is what we are to believe, does that affect the second release? I would think with the president of Shocker Toys posting here it would be a simple matter to answer my questions.

Will there be a second wave, and if so, when? (June from what I understand…tho not from Pinto) And a question of lesser importance would be to whomever wrote on this site that the second wave may not come at all. What made you say that? Was it just a regrettable statement that meant nothing, or was it based on some rumors?

Others have chimed to politely answer those questions, but Pinto/Geoff ha done nothing but spit at me and fly off the handle. There’s only been one troll in this thread.

They have been released and everyone who has owned the figures loves them from what I have seen.

Lets just keep focus on the toys.

If that is being retconned now, I would be interesting in knowing why, and if it will affect the second wave.
I am looking forward to going to TRU in June and buying a Scud fig.

@Nothingplace
Are you making up a quote from GEoff? Cuz Geoff has said before that the first shipment was a small one. I thought that was why i couldn’t get them anyhwere I looked! Now you are pretending like he is saying it was a big shipment. So why can’t I get mine from the store I ordered?
Nothingplace, your just like Pinto, always thinking your Geoff but your not such a big shot! You shouldn’t make things up like what Geoff didn’t say!
Waiting for my set in June/Can’t wait!

Uh, what? That was an actual quote. I’m not sure what you’re talking about.
