Gandalf LSB Notice

[gtb]

Got my notice too... So far none of the LS fails me, but since the Frodo PF, the PF line has been... rather not too promising.

Finally got mine!! Now I need to decide whether to hold of until SS releases a Saruman bust or to go ahead and purchase the Balrog LSB? Decisions, decisions...

I'd get the Balrog before its gone...got mine preordered and can't wait...

I also got my notice for Gandalf the grey lsb. I love the face sculpt. He looks great, can't wait for him either!!

I'm having second thoughts about this. Only because I just got the Vampyre 1:1 bust and I think I can probably get the regular addition for less. I'm not 100% convinced I need the exclusive.

Thats my thinking too, I do have this Exc on order but I might just cancel and get the regular from Play.com, if I get it at all.

Got mine today!
Although not the best timing for me, I've spent alittle too much recently and Gandy + Darkness PF's could be problematic
The joys of collecting

Don't get me wrong, the Balrog is a great looking bust, but at $400 a pop and an ES of 1000 it's gonna be sitting in the SS warehouse for years.

My thinking exactly! Plus I'd probably get it from a retailer before going to sideshow anyways.

Its a good thing that you guys in the States can get it from a retailer probably at a lesser price (sometimes much lesser) than from SS itself. Over here, it is always more expensive...

With the slight weaken USD, it only has made my purchase more affordable.... in any case, it is always the shipping that put me off from ordering..

I feel your pain man! Shipping is a killer being in Australia.

Shipping sucks ANYWHERE OUTSIDE OF THE US
I try to find a Canadian retailers or I just use ebay because the shipping is a whole lot cheaper. An example is the Cave troll LSB I got one through ebay and won it for $200 and only cost $44 to ship from the seller in Pennsylvania for a total cost of $244 + $30 for duties/taxes = $274. If I ordered through sideshow it would have cost me $299 for the bust plus about $90 shipping plus $49 for dutes/taxes = $438. That's a difference of $164.

Exactly! I don't know why anyone would buy this directly from SS unless they like throwing their money away. There is no exclusive and most SS retailer's out there are selling it at below retail.

I was going to let this one go but got on the waitlist anyway, not expecting it to convert...but it did, so I think I'll just keep it and consider myself lucky. Fortunately, the Darkness exclusive is on Flexpay...but now the GTW exclusive PF just converted... and the HT Powerloader & Ripley are on the way...ULP! Hope I don't end up having to cancel anything, 'cause I really want 'em all!

There is an exclusive, if you were talking about the Gandalf Bust

The exclusive is an interchangable staff.. Also when you order directly from SS remember you get reward points..

I think woodsy was referring to the Balrog LSB.

I like this piece. I just cancelled the Darkness PF but I would like to try and keep my order for this. But I really do need to get some Christmas shopping done...

Yes, I was refering to the Balrog LSB.
