Crimson Guard Shipping Soon??

[PimpDaddySatan]

"We have found a G.I. Joe Collectibles Crimson Guard 12-inch Figure - Sideshow Exclusive for you! Your wait list reservation #WB605491 for this item is due to become a live order on 2012-05-25. Your item will then ship out to you shortly after that!"


Thats the message I recieved, says the Crimson Guard will ship out shortly after they convert my order from waitlist to preorder? So is the guard coming out now? I thought it wasn't coming out til july?

[GIJOHN]

My understanding was July as well...?

[RolandofGilead]

I haven't received any sort of email for my pre-order. Also, there was no listing for any GI Joes shipping in the next 30 days in the Sideshow newsletter yesterday.

It may just mean that someone cancelled and they are converting your Wait List to an order. At least I hope so. I like that he's not coming until July and wish Commander Bacara would wait too.

[bountyhunter69]

I think that is just because a space opened up on the wait list.

[teemu8]

Ships in July!

[Keenan]

Whenever it ships, glad you were able to score one.

[Black Rose]

Congrats! From my understanding it ships out in July.

[Davestro]

Yup, looks like the Siegie Fred ships in July. Can't wait...I got MJ's "Thriller" playing in high anticipation! LOL

[YT74]

Man I hope they ditch the pleather for production!

[nilcam]

The more I look at the figure, the more tempted I am...

[dorian247]

Just checked Sideshow website now it shows the CG as being released in August. So this guy and Snake-Eyes will just be a few weeks apart. Im both happy and sad about that.

[Davestro]

Can't be any worse than RnR, Zartan and BD Ninja shipping in a span of 45 days...

Good point, hopefully the dates dont slip anymore cause we should be seeing who is available 4th quarter soon.

[CrimsonGuard101]

hopefully they will get delayed again till september lol...CGs are my last purchase till Snake Eyes....and they can push him back as much as they want too so I can recover from Joecon expenditures...with retaliation sunk I can save booku cash with these delays

[GIJOHN]

Was hit today with first of 2 flex pays. 2nd in July in late July, so Aug it is...

[RolandofGilead]

Just got a notice that the Crimson Guard will be here in about 23 days.

[Davestro]

Yup...got my notice as well. He will have a better looking jacket than the "Thriller" pleather shown in the prototype. Check out the Flag Point podcast for some details. Can't wait!

[RolandofGilead]

Now if only they'd spruce up Snake Eyes.

[Keenan]

Got my notice on the CG as well.

[dorian247]

just recovered from comic-con... time to start saving again.

[RolandofGilead]

Ok, I just received Sideshow's newsletter for the week and in the shipping updates it lists:

G.I. Joe: Exclusive Crimson Guard Sixth Scale Figure - Now September 2012
G.I. Joe: Crimson Guard Sixth Scale Figure - Now September 2012

Then in the coming in the next 30 days list it also says:

G.I. Joe: Exclusive Crimson Guard Sixth Scale Figure
G.I. Joe: Crimson Guard Sixth Scale Figure

Now I'm confused. I guess in just under 30 days it WILL be September.

[GIJOHN]

I have on flex pay, and my last payment is coming out Aug 25th. Should probably ship early Sept, is my guess??

[mech-grunt]

I also have flex pay and I got a update saying my final payment was moved to Sept 25th.

[dorian247]

Really? That means we could be looking at the end of September then :/ well if so it would give me more time to focus on my transformer collecting.

[Davestro]

I got the e-mail with the amount they're charging for 8.23.12. I wonder if they are doing what they did with RnR...charge then ship out a few weeks later. Hmmm....

[RolandofGilead]

Just got a notice that the CGs will be arriving in eight days and they will be charging my card on 8-23-12.

I so wish I could have afforded two of these bad boys.

Me too. I just got my 2nd viper thanks to a $100 GC. Eventually I'll have to try to figure out a way to get a 2nd one of these as well.

[RolandofGilead]

I'd hold on to my Sideshow gift card if I thought I could get another CG.

[Davestro]

I'm getting the Sideshow fever again..can't wait to get the Siegie with "Fred" EX head sculpt!

Ships end of this month...too bad I don't have the Crimson Cobra Commander to go with him...

[Davestro]

The material and color improvements to the jacket and weathering on the helmet give it that "real world" look...plus the functional backpack adds to cool factor.

[kennywr22]

Yeah this guy is looking awesome! Will need to get a second one eventually.

[RolandofGilead]

Sideshow charged my card today. If only he were showing up tomorrow because I'm on vacation all next week.

[Davestro]

My EX got charged as well...I'm relishing the anticipation because this will be the last Sideshow Joe for a couple of months :(

I need a couple months, Ive been going a little crazy with 3rd party transformers lately.

I've been able to stay away...but that Constructicon set is calling my name...LOL

[vermillion21]

I pulled the trigger on the MakeToys Green Giant set. Now I am out $300 plus, but waiting for him to arrive from BBTS!!!

I have the TFC set as my devastator... but now I want the Maketoy set as my individual constructicons.

Sorry to get back to sideshow though... I really want to get a 2nd crimson guard to pose with my CCC... too much good stuff.

[Davestro]

You'll probably be able to get a regular off of BBTS or other 3rd party sellers. That CCC would look sweet with two CGs flanking him!

[Mr. Gone]

charged the card on the 23rd, and still no shipping notice?

[Cksport]

I think they will ship this week.

[Davestro]

Should ship 1-3 business days...probably ships Friday with an early week arrival date.

[Kaedryl]

Got shipping notice from Sideshow this morning, looking at tracking it actually went out last evening around 8pm.

[dorian247]

Ah it never fails. I gotta have my money for the subscription figures this weekend and come up with money for this guy as well... Anyone wanna buy some Jinx figures from me ?

[Mista2x]

Mine should be here tomorrow, funny thing is I ordered 3: 2 regs and 1 exclusive. The 2 regs are coming tomorrow and the exclusive still says "Items shipping soon". I'll post pics tomorrow after work once I open the regs.

[Davestro]

Post pics...mine won't be here until Wednesday. Can't wait...but know it will be a while before we get another (Commando SE).

[Disrup]

I just got the notice for my crimson guard. Status shipped should be getting that tomorrow friday. Especially since i like like 30min away from their warehouse. I wish they had a store front.

[dorian247]

Crap too much stuff all at once. I just had to buy Masterpiece Thundercracker today and Ive gotta pay for the GI Joe subscription figures this week too.

[dorian247]

my local comic shop guy just called me to tell me he has it in stock.
