This is F'ING GREAT!! :eek
Even though the price is pretty high, it's well worth it. Like others, I'm seriously doubting where to score this beauty. Considering Sideshow appears to have changed styrofoam suppliers since they started with the LSB's (which have VERY crappy qualilty styrofoam!), and this piece looks really fragile... picking it up at a local dealer would be too much of an issue when it turns out broken or whatever.
That said, I'm definitily getting this piece of art, whether it'll be through SS or through a local dealer. This rocks!

I agree, it's not a must have but very awesome!!!... plus that thing is pretty big. ...and with Indy,Conan,GIJoe all coming I need to save some cash!
I can't wait to see it displayed in everyones collection!
I'd bet ya a dollar 2 a donut that the ES is no more than 1k. Sure, its a damn fine piece and all but I don't think they'll let this one get any more than 1k.

Josh you might be right and if you are then anyone sitting on the fence about this one might want to move soon as I don't see this one hanging around for long even on credit card declines etc

My thoughts as well. I love the fact the FB is actually the right color this time around and I don't mind the glossy finish on the FB as it's scales are iredescent or 'oily" looking so the glossy finish is quite appropriate, but I don't think it's appropriate on the eagle. As soon as I showed a picture to my wife her first words were "I love the FB, but the eagle looks like a Franklin mint statue...it's way too shiny and cheapens the overall look of the piece". Perhaps it is just the lighting and/or the result of the camera flash, but it does look to have a shiny appearance whereas I would much prefer a matte finish.

It's a double-edged sword situation. SS bases their ES's on pre-orders so the best way to guarantee a high ES is if everyone orders one, whether they intend on going through with their purchase or not. On the other hand, with SS you never know what they're going to do so if you don't order one you could potentially miss out if they throw us a curveball by deciding on a really low ES
Got mine ordered - through one of our board dealers. I don't worry about breakage when ordered through one of the dealers who frequent our boards - every time I've received a broken piece from one of them, it's been replaced immediately, no problems.
This is just an incredible piece. I'll figure out where to put it when it arrives...can't wait to add it to the collection.

I have no idea where on earth this is going to be displayed... but I do know that I have to have it! And Badly. 
Some additional thoughts on the piece, after studying it over.
1. As previously mentioned, I LOVE that the base is similar to the SS/Weta style. It will fit in perfectly with my other SS/W pieces.
2. IF the ES is 750, this may very well become the GRAIL of this line.
3. I believe the parts breakdown will be as follows:
a) Base.
b) Rocky outcrop/Fellbeast torso and Eagle as one piece.
c) Fellbeast left wing and right wing will both be separate pieces.
I can already see that a huge box will be needed, in order to minimize breakage.
