So piggybacking on the conversation we had a week or so ago about the Spider-Man buck, I was going through my Roger Stern Spidey Omnibus and you guys are right about the newer body from Vision/2099/Sunfire/etc using would make for a great classic Spider-Man, especially if they base him off of Romita Jr's artwork.

The body is actually less muscular than I initially thought now looking at the details closely.

They've even managed to lower their shipping prices over the last year, and everything always gets to me looking like a million bucks. More importantly, they have NEVER cancelled one of my pre-orders because they oversold or couldn't fulfill it...which is something I can't say about Amazon, EE, Sideshow or Dorkside.

I don't like the changes they've done to their policies and layout in the last year. It makes it a hassle to cancel preorders now because there is no straight up cancel option until you go into the modify section, which is annoying. Plus, they penalize you now if you cancel too many preorders (how it is my fault that a local physical store gets some figures instock months before they do??).

I just think patience levels that we have as toy collectors is insanely short.

Oh I am totally this, always have been. I like instant gratification. If I had a choice, I would never order online and buy everything in person. I hate paying for a product I don't have in my hands at the same time.

Seeing as how Amazon took my $10 credit with them when they canceled my order, I'm going to have to start up a chat because I gave them a week and it still hasn't shown up on my account.
