Re: Gollum PF available NOW!, Link to buy in 1st post...

Can someone confirm this is indeed available to international collectors (which is my belief) but English is not everyone's first language.

Looks like it...but the last part is rather shady..

Sideshow Domestic Web Exclusive

Within the United States, this product is available only from Sideshow Collectibles.

*note* "within the United States"... I'm wondering if there will be an international EX.....

Thanks for the clarification guys.

You know, I'm probably going to order anyway. I can't help myself dammit.

Plus, it'll look good next to Gandalf as a combo Lord of the Rings / Hobbit display.

Ok it has

3 Upper bodies
4 lower bodies
5 middle bodies
6 bases
12 rings

Just don't cancel this time for something Tonner.

Excellent point. But it's funny how the ******* that was in chat had no problem coming in and being an ahole rather than trying to get clarification. You know who you are even though you hid behind an anonymous user name coward.

Does that mean the exclusive is available to people outside of US? Just order direct from SS?

You know, I'm a pretty laid back guy and there's not too much that bothers me but implying I collect Tonner is just crossing the line. I am both offended and appalled by the suggestion.

A couple of SF members lost their cool because they thought it was a US exclusive. It can be difficult when you are dealing with someone who doesn't speak much English but acting like an AHole isn't cool either.

Re: Gollum PF available NOW!, Link to buy in 1st post...

oh nvm just got the update through facebook

This edition is a Sideshow Domestic Exclusive - if you live in the U.S. it is only available direct from Sideshow. International customers can either order direct, or contact their local distributors to see if they will be carrying it. Plus, it comes with dual torsos & nameplates and extra display base so you can show off both Gollum AND Smeagol in your collection!

Re: Gollum PF available NOW!, Link to buy in 1st post...

I predict it will incorporate rocks.

Re: Gollum PF available NOW!, Link to buy in 1st post...

Even with the second base to display the alternative torso I am extremely tempted to buy a second regular piece. Hopefully for alot less than $299.

I believe that all there will be is this one. do you think there will be an international "reg" available for less?

With 500 being the total number being made I'm tempted in getting two myself...

Re: Gollum PF available NOW!, Link to buy in 1st post...

ORDERED!

Knowing that an extra "little" base is included more than sealed the deal for me! That's something I've been wanting Sideshow to do for AGES with their PFs!

It always seemed like such a waste to get a great PF with multiple amazing heads ... and then not have a way to showcase them.

So I'm actually in the process of designing some bust bases for my extra Raiders Indy, Gandalf the Grey and Mola Ram heads. The plan is to sculpt the bust bases to be similar to their corresponding PF bases. I'll also be using some fabric/costume pieces to match the multimedia feel.

Hopefully someday I'll actually get past the planning stage!

Re: Gollum PF available NOW!, Link to buy in 1st post...

I still have an itchy trigger finger to order a second one, but the added possibility to display the alternate un-used torso alongside the statue takes some of that sting away. I just can't see dropping $600 at once on this to get two of them.
