That being said don't be surprised if you get skunked by any or all of your requests. This has happened to pretty much everyone that regularly posts on Circus Posterus. Brandt and Kathie run a meticulous operation and try to ensure that the work sold through Stranger Factory is going to legitimate collectors. I'm sure some of you have recently read about board members being outed for flipping items. So - if your only intention is to try and resale something, please don't bother even sending in an e-mail for the show. They are extremely fair, and like was posted earlier, if you truly want something, then you have to fly to New Mexico for the opening.

What is this saying? That if we never attempted to buy from the shows in the past, than they wont honor our request? even if we get it in fast, and its one of the first emails they receive? They fill orders of names that they are familiar with?

Yeah i wasnt sure how to take this either.. Accusing us at CaD that we are flippers or a true fan would hop on a plane to the show if they really want the piece. maybe trying to bring our hopes down so the CP board has a better shot. haha .Whatever it might be, good luck to everyone

Marleybone is a top notch boardie and I'm sure he was not accusing the true CAD boardies. Unfortunately flippers prowl the boards and this was aimed at them exclusively!!!!

yeah, i hear ya stonner.. damn flippers

LonerStoner is absolutely right. There are flippers here, and on every other board, all the time. Some even under the guise of true fans.

Circus Posterus/Stranger Factory take flipping of their art very seriously. As long as your intentions are good then you have nothing to worry about.

I suspect that due to the crossover between the CP and CAD fans, Ferg is working with them to help insure that the real CAD faithful have the same chance as CP members.

Get your email in on time and wait to see what you get. If you to get nothing, welcome to the world of limited production sales. It happens to everyone, nobody gets singled out unless they have given a reason for it or not followed the directions clearly spelled out in the preview.

The online sales are handled extremely well, you have nothing to worry about. Just keep in mind there may be a lot of people that want the same piece as you do (especially true for the customs).

Really wanted a 1/1 from the show, might have to settle with Skelve Doc due to funds. At least I can think about it during work.

Anyone who went to the show, was Doc black resin or blue? Online it appears to have a blue hue to it

He is also the champion of the Collect and Destroy Fantasy Football League, which came at my expense (the defeated El Doctor), grrrr......

So top notch at fantasy foozball as well. Marleybone, never properly congratulated you for the win (ahem, bastard ).... Congrats!! Well earned!

edit: And thanks for running the league Loner! You make Roger Goodell look like a sad sack of beans, well done

back to topic at hand, F* flippers

I have talked extensively with Brand and Kathie about the sale. Everyone will be given equal/fair treatment in regards to purchase requests. Known flippers get booted.

Skelve Doc aint settling

my email is send !!!!

Ditto! I wish I could afford to buy a custom but with the 3AA resigning, my birthday and cuban cigars I am out of funds. The customs look awesome and I will hope that some make it in to retail figs!

Ferg : any idea if they'll ship internationally? I have emailed them to ask if it is possible. Really hoping to score a Playge Dok! Here is hoping that a good number of the boardies here nab one!! (And I really hope to get lucky myself - just hope they'll ship to South Africa...)

38 mins and counting...

In past sales they did international shipping. Haven't seen anything that would have changed that.

Thanks for the heads up gregm, much appreciated!

Has anyone purchased from CP before? How strict are they with their time. Would they disgard an email received at 11:59am?

The way I see it 11:59 is not 12... I would not chance it... that's just me.
