Got my credit card statement and QMx already billed me for my phaser. Guess I didn't realize they charge you that much in advance. Well, hopefully it will ship next month.

Is that naughty or is it simply trying to guarantee a Market for what they're making? Things I used to pay a deposit for (new glasses) no longer work that way because too many people pulled out of what they'd contracted for.

Most collectibles I have ordered over the years only charge when they ship the item. This was partly true because there were times preorders were many months ahead of shipping dates (even a year in some cases). Now, some companies are charging small deposits up front and the rest at shipping. I guess it's a sign of the times and the economy. For a $50 item that will ship next month it doesn't bug me that much. Now, if the item cost a lot more and wasn't going to ship for say six months it would bug me to pay for something that far in advance. I doubt eyeglasses take more than a week or two to make, so charging up front seems fair to me. Especially for something as custom as a pair of glasses.

Yeah, I can't argue with it either really but months ahead of delivery would be aggravating.

My phaser was shipped today. Hopefully I'll have it by this weekend's podcast to review! :)

Check your email Bryan. That's how I learned mine had shipped. I thought you even ordered yours before I did? I guess us long time Trek podcasters get priority! ;)

Set phasers for shirtless..... ;) I'll do a little audio review and send it in!

Nice phaser and shirtless as usual. I might need to do a shirtless shot here I'm probably about able to match you in looks me and my martial arts muscles.

Awesome Bryan. Oh, and I mean the phaser! ;)

P.S. Does the emitter nozzle rotate?

Bryancd · May 03, 2011, 05:20:28 PM

No, it doesn't. I sent you and audio clip for this weeks show reviewing the phaser and a few other collectibles. :)

When 42 years old you reach, look as good you will not. ;)

This BodyCombat Instructor begs to differ. (Guess we'll see in 20 years.)

...and your twenty years of age difference (but I guess Bryan's already pointed that out).

How many people simply collect these things to look at and how many can't resist playing with them and 'stunning' passers by?
