Asmus - Gandalf the White - Crown Line

[Gipetto0812]

Is this implication they're actually shipping this soon? Or just....putting it up for pre-order? I'm assuming the latter but it's very confusing.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Asmus is no longer doing pre-orders. They're having them in-stock, ready to ship when they fully reveal something new. Something like that last I remember, but someone else might know more.

There is no pre-order on this one.

 

[Asmus]

No, no pre-order for this wizard.

 

[Kalkylen]

No, no pre-order for this wizard.

Any chance of a sneak preview for us loyal lot please?

 

[ObiGlennKenobi]

No, no pre-order for this wizard.

Anychance of a sneak peak @Asmus ?
Even if it's JUST the box art

Totally going to order as soon as it goes up

Ready to ship. They said they are not doing pre-orders any longer.

@Asmus Can we buy it in other retailers apart from asmus store?

I’d like to know this too!

 

[Waiden]

I think Asmus will go back to preordering process once they gain the trust of the customers again but I would also like to know, and many others, if these figures will go to retailers or not. I know many local collectors who only shop from local retailers and never elsewhere.

In my case, buying at asmus store means paying shipping + absurd FeDex commissions + import taxes. In the end I always pay an extra 100 USD to buy from asmus. However if I buy from Onesixthkit or Tns, it is free shipping and no commission or taxes. Honestly, if it's not available to other retailers, I won't buy this figure,

I 100% agree. Just last week I paid 44 EUR commissions + taxes to FedEx for a product that cost me 80 EUR from Asmus (an exclusive accessory for Arwen). I had no nerves to call FedEx how is that possible but it is kinda outrageous.

I have contacted OSK and Giantoy if they will carry this or not ... let's see

EDIT: I was told by Kit Chen (OSK) that he does not know if Asmus will offer this in China. If they do, they will carry it.

So many questions ...

1) Is Shadowfax included? (In either an exclusive version or as a separate purchase?)
2) Does he have his ring Narya?
3) Will other retailers be carrying it or is it going to be sold exclusively through Asmus' website?
4) If other retailers will be carrying it, will they be carrying all versions (if there are exclusives)?

Looking forward to this guy.

 

[lordnastrond]

Very exciting news!

 

[scumonkey]

Price?! (wanna know how deep in da hole i'm gonna be)

1) Yes
2) No, sorry we couldnt get it approved because Gandalf hardly wear it in the film
3) Yes, all other retailer will be carrying it, but they will go through pre-orders (3~4 weeks) before coming back to us, so it will NOT be in stock item like our website does.
4) There will be only ONE version

 

[RandomHero]

Shame about the ring, but that really shouldn't be a make or break thing for anyone. It would be silly if it was.

Very excited about Shadowfax. Pending product photos, that has sealed my purchase.

Do you anticipate this being for sale next week, @Asmus?

Asmus, does it mean everyone needs to buy the horse? I'm happy for the people that want it but I got no space for it and don't really want it.

Sounds like that’s the case. What you got against Shadowfax?

Thankfully, the figure will come with a box you can store the horse in.

Shadowfax will not be kept like some common barn horse!
