Cinemaquette Underworld: Evolution - Marcus 1:3 Maquette

Did you order the Lycan before January?

Interesting. Perhaps I better email them and ask questions regarding my order to confirm that I will be getting one and that it's not up to chance if someone cancels. It would suck if that is the case for they do not display the status of waiting online even now.

Yea, I don't get that either, it's weird. The thing with this company is they always make less than what the ES is . I just put in my order for Marcus , so we'll see how that goes. I think anyone that got their order in this month or before will be ok. I noticed the shipping cost dropped on Marcus compared to when it first went up.

If the question is for me it's no. I ordered after January but I was told that my order would be delayed by two months not that it was based on cancellations or a wait list with a chance of it being fulfilled if an order was cancelled. Below is the response they gave me:

As for the Lycan, they will not be at our facility until the end of
February. You should be getting an email from us around the 20th for
confirmation. If you have not yet preordered this item from us, the back
order is now a 2 month wait. Only preorders received prior to January
1st will be delivered at the end of the month.

I sent an email to them to clarify the conflicting info that iamgroot and I got and we will see what they say.

If you talked with them already you should be good to go. I was told what they told iamgroot.

I ordered it on 02/03/15 the same day I got that response. Curious, when did you guys place your orders for the Lycan that you got that waitlist response? Did you get an email after you ordered? After all, as previously mentioned, the Lycan is showing as available for preorder, still.

I ordered 2/13 and I got a email yesterday.

 

[iamgroot]

Yeah that probably means you ordered it at the right time before the shipments went out.
I ordered both Marcus and the lycan about two weeks ago. Marcus is fine because they haven't left the factory it is still available which is great but the Lycan I was also told two months but also that I may not get one because production has stopped

My gut instinct tells me that I will get my Lycan somehow.
There is the master God of collectors somewhere up there watching over me and he thinks I should have the Lycan

There is some interesting information on shipping on all of these bust and statues on Cinemaquette/Elite Creatures Facebook. The Cinemaquette's website blog page has a page which has a link to Elite's Facebook page. Good pictures and info regarding Marcus, Lucas bust, and the Alien bust.

Now Cinemaquette's website says: "limited stock" for the Lycan. This must mean that they must of gotten some of their stock from the docks and we who order before/and or order now will be getting one as long as they have,well, limited stock.

Oh crap guys it appears I'm getting my Lycan next week or so! Just saw this on my account status:
We have some good news. The Longshoreman Strike is over. The two parties have finally been able to settle to an agreement that will hopefully last for the next 5 years. What does this really mean? It means that the item(s) you ordered will finally be coming in. Please be advised that we anticipate our shipment to arrive tomorrow and we should be able to inspect and process your order by tomorrow afternoon or by Friday. If there are any issues processing your credit card that we have on file, please contact us immediately. Otherwise, we will charge your card this week and forward you the tracking number within the next couple of days. We know it has been a long wait and we want to thank you for your understanding. Hopefully, you will not be disappointed with your purchase. Regards, Cinemaquette.com
Oh and this includes the Alien as well!

Wow a little heads up would have been nice or an email sent given me the 7 days lead time as they said they would.

Oh another thing too, it appears that they raised the price of the Lycan by 150.00 never seen any company do that...EBay perhaps but not a distributor??? I bought it for 1100 now it's listed for 1250.00 wow! I hope iamgroot got his at the 1100.00 price point. Kind of shady in my opinion that they all of the sudden changed the price on people. Oh well, happy to be getting mine at the lower price, now just scrambling to get the money for the Alien as I was not anticipating that bust to ship in addition to the Lycan. Yikes! Very expensive March!

Spidermonkey and iamgroot sounds like your orders may be filled a lot sooner than you guys thought-may want to check your order status on your Lycans to see if they will charge you this week as mine was a surprise; would have not known had I not checked my account.

Thanks for the heads up, good to hear. I think my doom lsf was stuck in that strike too. Btw- it's normal practice for them to raise their prices once they get an order in stock. They've been doing that for years, nobody knows why though. At least you can cancel with no penalty, so it never hurts to put in an order .

I hope so man, I just checked my account and it still says pending so we'll see. Thanks for all the info, and congrats on getting your bust soon.

Thanks? A little sooner than what I want it to happen but excited on getting both Lycan and Alien bust;though wondering still about edition size on the Alien bust??? It appears that it will be an open edition since they are already producing them and shipping them. Kind of weird since on their Facebook page they mention that an edition size would likely be decided later on. So what would that make my bust if they do decide to commit to an edition size, an open edition version??? That would be a little disappointing.

Hope you get yours soon!

Anyone ordering the Alien bust other than me? Well, for anyone else that is they are making a limited run of 500, per Elite Creature's customer service. Just an FYI for my fellow collectors.
