Darth Vader life-size Bust--PREORDER NOW ON PAGE ONE!!!!

Not that I'm in a hurry to pay the $250 deposit, but I'm kinda surprised that my WL hasn't converted yet for the ex 
Not to crush your dreams, but I'm not surprised it hasn't yet. For having to drop $250 the instant you place your order, pretty much everyone that preorders this bust isn't going to cancel until he's right about to ship and they're dead certain they can't afford this thing. The positive aspect of the deposit is it thins down who preorders to people very committed to getting it, no one's going to just casually drop $250, if you spent that up front you're determined to get this thing and only an unplanned change of circumstances that means you can't pay the rest is really going to change you getting it, that or the final product turning out poorly and in either case, cancellations won't come until like 30 day notices for shipping. Maybe a few from Flex Pay if they can't afford to make one of the payments and have to back out.
I never thought of it that way..... So crap. Guess my WL won't convert
Maybe I'll put myself on the WL for the flex pay of the ex version

Have to agree with you there... I know I certainly don't want to loose my $250 deposit.
The only way I'll cancel is if something prevents me from switching over to FP or just paying it off when time comes for him to ship. I made sure I was locked into getting this before I hit that order placed, and I'm sure everyone else going through a site with a deposit requirement is doing so too.
Maybe not everyone - my waitlist for the exclusive started converting yesterday.
Really?! So when did you get on the WL? I got on maybe a few days after it sold out....

Well, that could be mine. My WL Excl. converted 2 days ago but I cancelled it, because they never answered the questions I sent them.

And what did you ask them? You could have called, if you didn't already

I asked about shipping costs just as it says on the product page. And I wanted to know if this will really ship from the EU warehouse (I know there is a EU flag on the site, but that wouldn't be Sideshow's first mistake on product info
). Because if this is sent directly from the US I would have to pay more on customs and VAT + I would have to pick it up from the customs office. Which would cost me even more money AND is a huge pita (the box will be gigantic) because I don't own a car.I'm from Germany so I used the helpdesk form that is linked on the product page. In my business customers expect me to answer mails within 2 regular working days. I asked SS 2 weeks ago.You could have called, if you didn't already
I know my cancellation won't hurt them because this is very limited and waitlisted, but I wasn't satisfied with their lack of communication so I cancelled.

Still - someone else, not on the waitlist, who had already paid the deposit had
to have cancelled.
That would suck to have pissed away $250 ALREADY...... That's why I think my WL won't be converting
Not necessarily, there could be system issues and the computer miscounted orders or something and few slots remained opened when they did a full count. I can't imagine someone so quickly giving up the $250 once it's paid, I'd ride it out until the last minute.

Besides direct from SSC, is there anywhere else that has these for PO for a good price right now?
Not sure whose question it was, but good effort. I'm always surprised to see questions answered like this, always seems like you may as well not have answered it.

I'm still keeping the faith. The second sentence seems to not understand the point in the question though, which is to accomplish that but having the extra piece that makes it a full second bust and not just the pieces.
No matter what it is, I'm eager to see the final stand design, and excited about this piece still. It's fallen off the map a bit since SDCC, but it's tops on my preorder list.

I hope I get a chance to see the catalog.

Kickass... that was my question 
I asked it around the same time I started the neck piece thread.
But yeah, sounds like they didn't really change anything
Guess worse case scenario someone out there might be able to customize something together.
