    Acid Rain World figures are selling out because they look really neat and everyone is fleeing from Hasbro and have more money to spend on other figures.

    • @dubesquire6329
      @dubesquire6329 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

      Nope.. they are selling out because scalpers are buying six and ten figures at a time and more to resale for double and triple. And I think some of the companies are in on it too.💯🙏🏿🤷🏾‍♂️

    These may be selling out faster as their popularity and knowledge about them increases. You have done a great job spreading the word about ARW and showing how cool they are. Bernard is a great example of ARW figures (possibly figure of the year).

    • @trialsandtribulations7181
      @trialsandtribulations7181 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      That's because you don't know the difference between a pre-order and "made to order" production runs. Fortunately, it's pretty simple. If your production run is limited to 10,000 units, and you have any ethics or scruples, then your pre-orders are limited to 10,000. Maybe fewer if you retain some stock for customer service issues. The only reason pre-orders shouldn't be limited is if you're using pre-orders to guage the size of a future production run.

    • @SkellywagsTV
      @SkellywagsTV  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      I had no idea either. Probably because when you pre-order it doesn't mention anything about that anywhere, and Toys Alliance are pretty crap at replying to questions. Fortunately, we have fine folk who can share their wonderful knowledge through the magic of the Internet!

    I don't really get Acid Rain. The plastic looks weird and grainy... and they are expensive and not available on aliexpress. They have original and cool designs, maybe if I see one in hands. Great review as usual !

      Lol yeah, I get the grainy look. It's the unique acid rain weathering. As Kliment mentioned, they are on Aliexpress through Fireflies, Ailinna and a few others, but usually for a higher mark up.
      That's how it started for me, I wasn't necessarily convinced right away, but as soon as I had one in hand I couldn't stop buying more!

    Acid rain has gotten a little pricey for me. With all companies raising prices though every purchase now becomes very selective. As is, Joytoy for me are making the most interesting stuff so that's where my spending goes mostly.

    • @piratesofthegalaxy
      @piratesofthegalaxy 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I was never really a huge Acid Rain figure fan, I always had a hard time overlooking their longer arms and bigger feet. However, their mechs and vehicles were always top notch, but you're right, the pricing is just way too high these days.

    • @martincraddy2400
      @martincraddy2400 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      You're right about the vehicles. I wish there were more detailed 1/18 vehicles like the Ankylo. I also have the Joytoy crazy reload truck which is awesome but I'd love others.

    • @SkellywagsTV
      @SkellywagsTV  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yup, prices are crazy guys, which is why it's so perplexing that they're selling out on pre-orders. This never used to happen before. It seems the hardcore crazed ARW fans are just willing to adorns more and probably buy multiples.
      I'd definitely be up for me vehicles, so have to pick up an Ankylo, really want the Bucks version coming out next year too.
      Joytoy are really doing a great job at the moment

      @SkellywagsTV  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I saw him come back in stock on pia twice and sold out almost immediately. I've got another on pre-order as I wanna do a head swap. I have a Ratko on pre-order at BBTS and managed to get one on HLJ as well, just in case lol

  • @neirim
    @neirim 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    They choose to manufacture "on demand" it doesn’t give the impression that the company is doing well.🤔
    If we look at Joytoy, the company grew fast and it manufactures in large quantities and quickly had several resellers emerge, but not with Acid Rain while they started almost at the same time,
    So, yes, if you manufacture in large quantities and don't sell, it's problematic for the company's financial situation.
    Not everyone has the money at the time of pre-order not to mention the fact that we're living in a golden age for 1/18 figs which means we have to make choices. I was ready to buy Ratko this month despite his high price, but alas, that's never going to happen, as he's out of stock like Bernard.
    Personally it drives me not to collect their figurines, too complicated to acquire (reseller, availability, price)

    • @SkellywagsTV
      @SkellywagsTV  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Oh damn. I hope TA are doing alright. Yeah, that's my problem with pre-orders, I can't spend all my money on all these pre-orders, but then I don't wanna miss out. To be honest, I've felt the same. I almost swore off ARW a few times. Then they get me with something! I paid a bit more then I should have for Bernard on Aliexpress before he popped up on pia a couple times. There's still a couple on there, but Ratko has never come back in stock. I've got a Ratko on BBTS and managed to get one on HLJ. Did you try any of those places?
