Got my EX! :banana

I'm glad to see that the teal colored scabbard and sword hilt in the first pics I saw are back to their familiar dark blue - someone must have messed with the earlier pics. :dunno

They must have changed the PPO procedure a little bit since the last time I participated in one. It seems like, back then, when the PPO started, you were automatically taken to an order screen for the Ex. I realized about 10 seconds before the thing began that I needed to click on the link for the PF. Then I got so flustered, I forgot to use my points! :banghead

Anyhoo, I've got one of my fave LOTR characters on order. I'll just use my points (+ the points from Legolas, the Meg Mucklebones LSB and the Darth Talon Ex PF) on the next PF (RINGWRAITH!!)
 
My wife and I had an appointment this morning at 9:45 to do our bi-weekly check up on the baby and while he was talking to us at 10 AM I pulled out my iPhone and ordered. Made sure I got my confirmation email then put my phone in my pocket and continued to listen. When he left the room to double check something, my wife leaned over and said "I take it you got Gandalf with no problems since you put your phone away so quickly." :lol

You have a good woman. Many (and not me) would've been pissed you doing that during that time. Kiss her feet! :lol
 
Close, the excl. Indy was $5 more. Still, for an extra $10 your getting an awesome looking extra sculpt and and lower number. :D

I'm sorry, I thought you were talking about the first Indy PF with the hatless head. That one was the same price for either.

:lol In the 10 years we've been together my wife learned to accept my obsessive personality first. Since I've been talking about how I wanted a Gandalf the Grey PF since they announced the line, she knew that nothing was going to stop me from ordering it. :D

I was...and you were right. I got the two different Indy PF versions mixed up. Can't wait 'til there's 4 of them.......:google
 
Normally I don't really care about the exclusive unless its central to the character, in this case it think it is because between all the fighting and running Gandalf hardly wore his hat in the Mines of Moria. With or without his hat its still and iconic piece.

nah, Sam carrying Frodo up Mount Doom was more exciting, because it was SO limited, 30 or so pieces, and such a popular item too. Infact has it been on ebay much?

Yes, there have been quite a few on eBay ever since it came out.

lol me too! Ordered, but do i really want to get into the PF's? He'll look good on his own though.
Took 4 minutes, page loading was slow, but ordered! That doesn't mean anything though, i cancelled Frodo once and the Lurtz exclusive twice :lol

You cancelled the Lurtz......TWICE???!!! You need a good spankin'!!!! :mad:

That's my grail piece!

The PPO page refreshed at 9:59:55 for me, so I had to wait for a new refresh. It took me right to the order page. Got mine at 10:00:28 :D

I'm searching for my wide angle lens as we speak.......:monkey3 :lol

:horror You might need a panoramic lens! ;)
 
Ordered the ex. :rock:rock

I had a party of people coming round to my house for my party at 6pm, and pre-order was 6pm too. They got here 5 mins early so I had to sneak out to do it, and when I came back they were all like 'where did you go', so in the end I showed them pics and the girls were like 'more money wasted then?' and the guys were like 'wow! where can I order?!' :lol Always the same :lol
 
You beat me by 20 seconds (the time it took for my page to fully load after check out so I could get that all important "T" number)

Mine:
