No. It wasn't a joke. Asmus canceled the Deluxe packs with TNS and they offered me to order smeagol or gollum and a baseball cap as compensation. I canceled my order and TNS refunded my deposit. Ordering from Asmus from Spain is not an option. FedEx charges absurd fees apart from the VAT that...

I can confirm that my order is canceled and I received a refund of the preorder deposit. From what I've seen in Facebook comments on Asmus posts about the new heads, I'm not the only one affected. Strangely I didn't care. I like asmus figures, I have all the ones from middle earth except...

yep

Direct email about order update.

According to TNS Asmus has canceled orders for Gollum Deluxe. Instead of the base with the rock and the fish, they offer us a wonderful baseball cap. There is no possible way to defend asmus anymore... After a year and a half since the preorder... It's time to print my own Gollum and cancel orders.

So there are no preorders anymore because the photos on their website are the final product so people don't complain, what you see is what you get. However the photos show a different chainmail than what you receive. Can we go back to the preorder system then?

If I'm breaking any rules by reposting, please delete my post.

Asmus posted those photos here, then deleted them. I saved them by chance because I sent them to a friend. EDIT: There was a third photo, which I did not save.

Sorry, Asmus... I think it's a good sculpt.

First time I'm seriously thinking about canceling preorder. The more photos I see, the less I like. I will wait to see if there are final photos of the product. Neca's is still my favourite.

They don't even have ears.

And two extra house floors just for display of figures... I wish I had 1000 dollars left over "just in case" :cry:

I just hope that the releases of Gollum, Boromir and the legendary Gandalf upgrade heads, and Thranduil crown don't come out all at once or we won't have enough kidneys to sell to pay for all that. We just paid Gandalf the white just before Christmas...

I don't know if it's anger. In my case I have not been angry with them because it's my choice not to buy it at that price due to the import tariffs and the additional theft that Fedex does, but I think it is necessary to let Asmus know that many loyal buyers in Europe do not we can afford those...

I made that screenshot from OSK's Facebook

Everywhere outside of Europe, which means a lot of fees and taxes for us. You are lucky in the USA.

I calculated how much Gandalf the White would cost from the Asmus website to Spain. Fedex always goes through customs because they charge a commission for the procedures. Counting the figure price +shipping costs + 21% VAT + extra tariffs for being a merchandise of more than 150 eur + FedEx...

This is why I have always preferred preorders, it is a way to ensure that you will have a copy of what you want without having to hunt and capture when it will be back in stock, where it can be bought or if it will be available again. . It's an expensive hobby, if it also becomes difficult, I...
