I can understand the frustration, but honestly the people behind Glyos are amazing and do everything they can to take care of their customers.I was among the first wave to complete an order. Still managed to get a message of apology that Phanost was sold out. I uh... Well. I just kind of assume they sent the figures to friends and names they recognized instead of in the purely chronological sense. Cause with a 2 figure single order limit in the first hour, I kind of doubt they sold out of in the 10-20 minutes it took for my paypal to send me a receipt. I realize that it's sort of an embittered reaction, but I get the feeling that I lost out due to being an unknown rather than being too slow on the draw. Other than that, the figures look great and I'm excited :L
There was a drop sometime last year with a Hades figure that was EXTREMELY popular and sold out very quickly. I was lucky enough to snag him but some longtime collectors missed out. So it wasn't about being friends or familiar names, drops just go that way sometimes. It's not always fun, but that's the reality when you deal with special drops or sought after characters.
I've missed things in the past that I want, but I keep coming back because there's always something new and they're just damn good people.
If nothing else, join the forum at OT and try to make a trade or something. It's a great community of really good and helpful people, so it's only a matter of time. Of course, they may just do another run of him...
