    Ugh, same. Oh well, sounds like this will just be a Christmas gift to myself instead of the pick me up I GODDAMN NEEDED. Kidding, kidding.

    So the question is Hydra in time for Halloween or Thanksgiving?

    It's too far out. They wouldn't know.

    My dog's calling "the guy who knows a retailer who knows dalianjj". One bark means it's Thanksgiving, two means Halloween, but then again it might mean that it's just hungry. Hard to tell .......

    I don't know that store specifically but offering a small discount for preordering early is not unheard of, though as far as I've seen it isn't as common as it used to be. People in general don't preorder so they offer the discount as an incentive to try and have a little more cost certainty in the process.

    To be fair all he said his retailer buddy told him was that he was going to be invoiced. The rest of the post was speculation based on that. While I don't think they would be invoicing for Sixshot if wasn't coming at the same time I don't actually know that.

    I know The Chosen Prime has him listed at December 2018, however FT does not have the best history on release dates beyond imminent.

    Unless you have a strong sweet tooth most guts tend to lean towards Thanksgiving.

    This is Fanstoys. For me personally they make the best MP style figures outside of TT. But I have little faith in them ever hitting targets I'm afraid.

    @Ryanme1973

    Pls ignore the comedian, he is just doing what he normally does, some type of "comedy". You just keep doing what you do, informing us of what your etailer tells us.

    And yes, I myself have seen cases where the product released faster than ft had told me, it happens, and would be cool if your buddy does get it sooner.

    Now on to more pressing matters, Any word on xtb Wildrider? ;)

    I actually asked that and MY guy said Keith doesn’t give him a heads up on anything. He just gets a bill and he pays it. Fanstoys at least gives him a heads up. Especially since it’s 2 anticipated pricy releases at the same time.

    Please keep the discussion on-topic, which does include speculation regarding the release date, but... let’s show one another respect and refrain from bickering.
