Well yeah, not like most of us don't have Sauron already... but the next time it could be a Grey Hulk PF or something!

Yes, I was thinking something like that as well. SSC is tricksy!

Ohhh, Sauron, my old flame... such a problem to get you shipped overseas by anyone apart from Sideshow... and now they offer you again, and at a sizeable discount... now, when I'm not even home to receive you... now, when I've burned my polystone funds for not just January, but February too...

...O Sauron, woe of my collecting life, thou and I shall not cross paths just yet.

 

[Darth Caedus]

I don't have Sauron and I'mthinking about getting him...........must control self......

 

[tomandshell]

I ordered Sauron.

I cancelled Sauron.

I ordered Sauron a second time.

I cancelled Sauron a second time.

Sauron sold out.

I put myself on the wait list for Sauron.

My wait list request was turned into a real order for Sauron.

I cancelled Sauron a third time.


I just can't get myself to commit to purchasing this guy.

Ah, the true beauty of pre-ordering at work.



I'd love to have this statue towering over my 12" LOTR figures... but I just can't do it. Maybe a 50% deal will come sometime.

Ah thanks Tom!

 

[tomandshell]

Josh, I hope you already had Sauron!!

 

[The Josh]

Yeah, I ordered mine when he went back up originally.

Date Placed:

2004-01-21

 

[tomandshell]

My order was from 02/04/2004 and was T123456. I always thought that was a cool order number, and easy to remember.

I also cancelled the Gandalf on Shadowfax I ordered the same day, but eventually got Gandalf as a Second Chance offer when he finally shipped. I never quite got around to Sauron...

 

[The Josh]

I ordered Sauron the minute he went up. I was posting at a forum called Tolkien Online and we all got up nice an early (ala SW PPO) and made sure we where online. We did slow the servers that day.

 

[Seretur]

All five seem to have been snapped up.

Well, no wonder, at $225. Congratulations to those who got him!

Is that a joke? That date and that order number are pretty cool and easy to remember! You seriously had 123456 as your order number?? How random, and cool... too bad you cancelled it

Yes, that was my order number. And it's too bad I had to cancel it--but trust me, the money was diverted to you guys anyway! I had begun collecting the Star Wars PF line when he finally shipped, and then along with the announcement of the 12" figures that summer I knew that I was going to need to transition my LOTR spending over to Star Wars. So Star Wars forced Sauron out of my budget.
