This is precisely why I can't understand the complaints about delays (other than wanting the item sooner ). Release dates being pushed forward and releasing AHEAD of schedule is something to b!tch about as you can't necessarily easily prepare for it.

I'm not complaining by any means for the delay and bump in payments. I just got back from vacation last week, so I'm needing to have a little bit of extra cash. July is Flex Payment Free Month.

Flexpay

But, it shouldn't matter what type of pay plan you have. Just knowing that you originally planned for that payment to happen at that time gives you the foresight to set that money aside into a separate account for when payment occurs. Besides, don't they let you make a payment now outside of your flexpay schedule? Can't you still pay the amount you were expecting at the time you were expecting it? Or is that just a "pay off the entire remainder" option?

HAppy Canada Day BTW

Why would I go to the trouble of doing something as organized as that?!

When they re-shuffle flexpays, sometimes they conflict which can be a pain in the arse, the new Pay when you want helps, but still a major pain. And if you have paid off the majority, if not all & it is delayed for a severe amount of time, they should give you money back IMO

Because thats not how I pay for these things! It's a delicate balance of credit card payments ensuring there is enough to pay for one figure at a time without having a stupidly high credit limit, so two together is not good news

So, pay your credit card before they start taking payments. I know that there is a $2500 credit card charge going through any day now on my card. So, 3 weeks ago, when I had the money, I paid my credit card $2500... making my balance -$2500. When my $2500 charge goes through, I'll be back to even without having to worry about other charges making my balance stupidly high.

Apparently they're all that way but can be fixed. This is what they look like out of the box:

yes, but if you just put something like bubblewrap around his ankles it should solve the problem

Wow! Who is going to want to buy a damaged item? After all, they are all going to be labeled as such.

[Show spoiler]If I'm going to buy a Leto Joker, he better have a crazy smile on his face.

[joy-division]

Other Toyfair Exclusives include Knightmare BAtman, Disco Iron Man (gotta have an Iron Man!! ) & Stormtrooper - Jumptrooper version

So no Fn-2187 or Han Solo in disguise

Money saved though as I doubt I will be getting Knightmare Bats & already have Gold Chrome Stormie on order

Not a fan of the Jared Leto Joker.

However, that Knightmare Batman looks really good.

I'm just not a fan of the Leto Joker figure because it just looks too damn serious and lacking any type of charisma. The character looks as if someone just told him a bad joke.

I'm sure they're saving the laughing head for the suit version. At least this gives options if they are. Laughing and non laughing.

I ordered Knightmare Bats.

Same here. My second flex pay for the year. I may hold off on the Armored Bats until a few more months. Knightmare Bats has the potential to sold out in a matter of days.

Jared Leto's Joker is a "trying hard" version for me. However, Margot Robbie as Harley is very interesting.
