Didn’t Asmus say this supposed to start shipping in May?

Yes,
but China is still in a very bad quarantine, it has been worsen since Febuary and now on going.
all the shipping and delivery has been greatly delayd.

If you have been noticing, Shanghai was in locked odwn for like 2 months,
it is crazy compare to the rest of the world that is going back to normal.

Sorry we don't have many progress for you guys laterly,
so just a quick photo I took of the Bagend diorama with the factory sample of Bilbo standing in front of it.

It is a shame we decide not to manufacture this,
it looks really amazing on the corner of the office.

Wow - those dioramas

I just got an arrival notice/invoice saying Bilbo is in but the address is from [email protected]

Has anybody else gotten this notice? I do not remember Asmus sending notices from them before. I thought the notices came directly from Asmus.

Yeah I got the same.
Just paid for Bilbo.

Thanks! Wanted to make sure it was legit.

Hmm, when I log in via the payment link, it shows a balance due of $345, $165 for Bilbo and $180 for the Nazgul; anyone else have this happening?
I guess I don’t mind paying the remaining balance on the Nazgul, if it’s also due to ship soon? Any thoughts?

*edit* Never mind; when I click to pay, it prompts me to pay only for Bilbo.

 

[rjszar]

Got same notice. I was also wondering if legit.

 

[darkeyes]

I hope it is, just paid for mine. I did get the reply email from Asmus saying it was paid.

 

[Chopper Face]

Payment is failing for me. Last thing I need is more time to decide if I really want that miserable mug on my shelves.

 

[FlyAndFight]

Payment went through fine for me. Stern Bilbo should ship out next week or so, based on the email.

 

[Mike86]

Glad I checked this thread. The email went to my junk folder. Figured to check for it after everyone else said they received their notice.

 

[scumonkey]

paid

 

[Bucky Underbelly]

Paid!

Lol I had the same issue this morning. Would have chimed in to let you know but I didn’t log back in until now.

Sideshow still taking orders. I don't like being on the Asmus Complaint Wagon, even if it is warranted, but perhaps another, proper Bilbo head sculpt will be forthcoming down the road (?). Since they are not above issuing apology pieces for past mistakes.

 

[Sixth Scale Man]

I’ll be pre-ordering locally soon. Bilbo is too important to me to not have on the shelf. And while that main headsculpt is just a tad serious for me, I also hope that Asmus may offer up a more jovial or contemplative sculpt in the future. My initial thoughts when he was first announced was that he would come with an “Eleventy first birthday!” expression and a barrel to stand on.

Exactly my thoughts.

I thought that too. A barrel would have made a great stand for him, similar to the old SSW statue. Fingers crossed for an alternate, more cheerful sculpt somewhere down the line too.

Glad I was alerted on this thread that Bilbo invoice had been sent. Found mine in my spam folder which I never check. Think a few more collectors had same thing happen. Anyhow no problem in the great scheme of things, and he is now fully paid.
Like already mentioned by many if not all of us, it would be great if Asmus did a happier Bilbo sculpt at a later date.
