You can tell 3D Studio/GG is a Hollywood company. Movie houses are well acquainted with the mindset of "treat the fans like sh--, they'll keep buying tickets"
Sucky news. Sorry guys.

I have a funny feeling that due to Black Widow's low edition size of only 600, allocations for the EU market was severely limited. And therefore those retailers were not able to receive much (if any) of their anticipated stock. It really sucks for fellow collectors in the EU market. Too bad the edition size was not 1000 or more. Otherwise, I am sure more people would be able to purchase this magnificent statue to display/admire.
I have mine sitting on my computer desk on the left-hand side of my keyboard. As I type, the corner of my eye is intentionally accidentally glancing at her fine behind . I love 3D scanning . There is just way too much to love about this statue. My newest 1/4 scale statue and is by far my favorite one to date. I mean......who doesn't love Scar Jo????
Was the low Edition Size due to lack of Pre-Orders for this statue? Seems like as soon as we had in-hand pictures everyone was scrambling to get one....

Gentle Giant set the ES low at PO. IMO collectors waited to see in hand pics & reviews before POing due to the high cost which caused the scrambling.
I'm not sure that this is a factor here though. I mean I don't doubt what you are saying, but even if we had all pre-ordered this on the day of launch, I don't think it would have made a blind bit of difference.
They signed off for 600 and I can't see them changing their mind on this because of say an additional 600+ orders from outside of the US.
Well, after 24 hours of inner turmoil - I have swallowed my pride (and probably common sense), and purchased a piece from eBay.
Despite my Wanted Thread here on the board - I couldn't see it pulling anyone in, so it was a case of do I keep trying and trying and in the mean time loose out on the last low (ish) price eBay listing.
I had to look from the point of view that now that the EU (and indeed maybe others too) pre-orders are cancelled there will be those much like myself eagerly seeking to pick up this piece. With a total of 600 all in, it's unlikely the prices listed are going to get any /better/.
Unit Price + UK Shipping + Import fees (which I am dreading) - I still think it's worth it. It's that one piece that I just have to have for my collection and well I just had to take the heavy hit on this one.
I just wish I knew sooner!
