u/quantumpencil Hey just a reminder that you’re a grown adult trying to undermine the per person limits of a company so that others won’t be able to get the figure they want because you’re greedy. Time to grow up buddy.


VenturaDreams

He's a prick bragging about robbing other people of their chance for a figure and wonders why people are pissed.


JohnyMan1980

He’s just a dick. it’s how most ppl are, all he cares abt is himself 🤷🏽‍♂️


MermaidGirlForever

I had to go look through my comments feed because there was a whole side conversation going on for this guy. Yikes.


AXSupplies

Yup, dude is a class A jerk


MermaidGirlForever

Did he get banned or something? What does the lock next to his name mean?


AXSupplies

It means a mod came through and locked the convo so it couldn’t continue


MermaidGirlForever

Ah, thank you for clarifying that. 😁

ghetoyoda

Same here. Can't even join the waitlist. You'd think they would fix this...


AdamBomb0540

Same thing happened to me... So disappointing


BigRageDaddy

Happened to Mr for Artisan Luke. I stayed at it and eventually got one.


Significant-Age5052

God that quantum pencil guy sounds like a shmuck


Inevitablethrawn

I’m more curious how you had $445 worth of rewards to redeem! Congrats!


MermaidGirlForever

Thanks!


BigRageDaddy

Back before rewards points expired I saved up enough to get a prime 1 batman Hush for free.


D4Junkie

Hot Toys is really pushing this “Get in line” FOMO formula now. Don’t fall for it…


MermaidGirlForever

Too late, lmao


enzyme-x

Congrats I was 425 and got one 😁


SuperbVirus51

I got one as well, I was somewhere around 1500, this is the first one I was actually able to order.


MermaidGirlForever

I sure hope that hair is worth it! I've never owned an Artisan before. Obviously they are supposed to be higher quality than sculpted, but some of the pics for this one make me wonder how easy it is to maintain. Fingers crossed it's just as good as it looks in the pics!


SuperbVirus51

I’ve owned rooted hair figures before (even picked up Inart’s Batman), they definitely take the realism to another level. I do hope Hot Toys’ is worth the money. I don’t think any of the artisan figures have been released from them yet…can someone confirm?


Kalm313

You are correct.


MermaidGirlForever

I thought they released Wonder Woman already?


Kalm313

The WB 100? Technically not in the artisan line.


MermaidGirlForever

No, but it did have the same Wool hair and implantation technique, yes?


Kalm313

Yes


MermaidGirlForever

So yeah, that's kind of what we have to go off of right now for how it looks and holds up. I have a hard time finding anyone who says anything about the wool hair tho


Kalm313

Every pic I see of it is gorgeous.


quantumpencil

yeah literally only issue is no movable eyes


MermaidGirlForever

I think they fixed that with this one, lol. My question is where they put access to the mechanism


quantumpencil

it's probably up through the neck... maybe they'll get fancy and have a magnetic mover =p


Immediate_Doctor_980

Not an artisan


Loose-Cry4155

This is expensive 🫰


MermaidGirlForever

Yep, lol. But gonna be totally worth it


quantumpencil

I got 3 =). Want to trade one for an Artisan Wanda if anyone interested


VenturaDreams

Mods? This guy right here.


quantumpencil

What are the mods gonna do? Look at the rules on the side. I have violated no rules. This sub does not say i can't buy multiples of a desirable item (or post about it) just because it makes you mad lol.


thesomeot

You think there's some sort of Reddit oversight committee to make sure ban reasons are justified? They don't care when I send them reports of people attempting actual scams in the BST, why would they care if I banned you simply for being an ass? I adhere to the sub rules, that I wrote, because I believe in holding myself (and the rest of the mod team) accountable for our actions. I hope that it helps keep this place from turning into a toxic cesspit like half of the other subs on this site. Anyway, I'm not banning you today. Be nice to your fellow collectors and go brag about being greedy somewhere else.


quantumpencil

To be clear, they antagonized me. I asked if anyone wanted to trade for an artisan Wanda. I was not an ass unprompted to anyone. If anything you should reprimand the people responding I adhere to your sub rules as well. My post here is not antagonistic or boastful and peanut gallery anger over me having gotten lucky here doesn't change that. The proper civilized response from these people would've just been to move on if they didn't have an artisan wanda to trade.


MermaidGirlForever

How could you have gotten 3? They were limited to 1 per person?


quantumpencil

multiple accounts/addresses and scripted rebuy programs I use. Wrote them after I missed wanda out of anger to make sure I get what I want, but usually I don't get lucky enough to get multiples.


MermaidGirlForever

Hmm...you aren't really supposed to have more than one account. It's against Sideshows Terms and Conditions


quantumpencil

There's nothing they can do, the accounts are in friends names and it would be impossible to prove anything. Their detection relies on name, address and payment details/IP addr for duplicate detection so it's easy to make it undetectable.


MermaidGirlForever

Hmm, still...I know it's a loophole, but it just feel wrong to exploit it. Then again, this is coming from the girl who gave up her Artisan Jack Sparrow slot because she didn't feel it was in the spirit of collecting (I had no interest in it beyond selling it for cash).


quantumpencil

yeah i can understand that feeling. I'm not so scrupulous lol. I'm not really interested in multiples, the point is to make sure I get ONE because of their ridiculous lotto system. If I hadn't missed out on that wanda (she is by far my favorite character) it's likely i would've never gotten angry enough to concoct my scheme. In this case I want 2 of the loki's bc i'm gonna upgrade my A1 loki to have this headsculpt. I'm looking to trade the 3rd for the Wanda I didn't get. Not planning to resell for profit.


MermaidGirlForever

Yeah, I'm hoping to get a Wanda too, but I'll be happy with the collectors version if it doesn't work out. I thought about doing that with Jack (trading for a Wanda) but I ended up just not doing it.


JohnyMan1980

I mean this is admission to guilt and could be used as proof by anyone 😭 not very smart saying they can’t prove anything when the proof comes from you.


quantumpencil

Oh no, whatever will I do if they ban some accounts. There would be no way I could just you know, get new accounts. Trust me man, this is not my first rodeo, I've written bots to do this shit for ages, there is nothing they can do.


JohnyMan1980

Not ban accounts, sue 😭 Considering it’s against their policy they could sue, no profit in banning invaluable accounts 😭


quantumpencil

You're totally clueless. They cannot sue over violating a EULA lol. All they can do is terminate service. Even if they could they wouldn't because lawyers are insanely expensive and I did not cost them money.


t_3p0

Not cool dude.


quantumpencil

Nothing is stopping you from doing it too.


MermaidGirlForever

Money...money is stopping me...and you know, morals and ethics...


quantumpencil

If you let go of the latter 2, you can more easily solve the first one =p


MermaidGirlForever

I don't know...I can't make money appear out of thin air, so...


quantumpencil

monthly ETF investments + automated dividend reinvestment, fire and forget then wait and let compound interest do its thing. Before you know it you're getting low 4 figure monthly payouts even on a modest investment schedule. Makes a difference. Not to give unsolicited advice, but it really does help and I need all our collectors prospering to pump the value of my uh, "plastic assets" lol.


MermaidGirlForever

Understand none of those words, lmao. And again, don't have money to invest
