Statue Legolas Maquette

[Fritz]

Hmm, well i've just checked and my waitlist order is indeed still there. And yes, it is Flexpay!
I like how they've put a photo next to your order history so you can see at a glance what you've ordered, cancelled etc!

I guess that means that the no flexpay orders were cancelled or had any credit card declines.

No idea, but i don't really mind if it doesn't convert, because i don't really like the exclusive, i just ordered it because i could and then if i didn't like the statue it would be easier to re-sell at what i paid for it, but if, as i suspect, it looks awesome and everyone here raves about it when it arrives - hopefully - over the next few days, i may well go straight ahead and order the regular on Flexpay as at the moment it's better to pay in installments rather than all in one go from a local seller.

Even though I'm not collecting this line I agree with you regarding the exclusive. I wouldn't display it that way either even if I was. I like the look of the regular pose in this case as well.

I love the EX on Legolas more. I think the pose itself goes better with the elven knives than the bow. Unfortunately, I don't think my waitlist is going to convert.

 

[gagaliya]

I wouldnt be too worried, after this converts just wait a few weeks and pick an EX up off ebay/here for close to retail. legolas has one of the lowest track records in term of resale value next to gandalf.

 

[furystorm]

Only 350 of this one, and 500 or more of each of the others.

I'm sure there will still be deals found on this, but I'm happy to have the exclusive reserved.

 

[tomandshell]

I'm going to switch it back and forth. It's nice to see him doing something other than firing an arrow every now and then, and I think he looks pretty cool with those knives out:

The edition size is lower, and when the line continues to grow, this will be a harder EX to track down compared to other pieces with an almost 50% higher ES.

 

[Entropy]

I think this is a brilliant EX, almost as good as the Aragorn one. Being able to stow the bow or daggers is great.

And SS needs to hire Trev to do more full figure pieces!

 

[Drakul]

Yeah I'm not a fan of the EX on this one either, which is why I haven't waitlisted it.

Complete agree with you. I love the pose.

 

[The Josh]

I like the EX pose but I will display it with the bow. For me personally there is a bit more flow to the piece with the bow than with the knives.

After seeing FOTR in concert a few weeks ago, I'm watching the extended edition of TTT. Just hanging around, waiting on a shipping notice for Legolas, and dinner with GrueSam and LOTRFan! Fun LOTR day.

 

[Valarauko]

My order's been put on my CC and the status has changed to "Item Shipping Soon". Should leave SS today and I'll probably get it on Thursday.

 

[slynger]

"Item Shipping Soon"

 

[furystorm]

Gonna run and check my account now too. If it ships today, it is very highly likely that I could have the piece tomorrow!

Edit: Yep, shipping soon here too. Come on Sideshow, come through, you can do it!

 

[furystorm]

$238.44 pending charge on my card! Woot!

Now, if I can just rely on SS to slap that FedEx sticker on the box and get it out the door today...

 

[ElvenPrince]

Don't understand how some people don't "like" the EX. What is it if not better than the normal version? If you had to choose, why not choose to get more for the same price? Even if you don't "like" to have an additional display option...

 

[The Josh]

Yup, ISS as well.

 

[tomandshell]

Pending charge of $254.60.

I had to cancel the Palpatine PF to keep this when it converted. I asked if I could do a one time only transfer of my NRD over to the new Legolas order. Looks like that was a no go. That was my first NRD cancellation, so I guess there's no way of working something like that out. Oh, well. I'm still really glad to be getting this one!

Its the fact that we can buy the regular for a steep discount in 6 months time. Ex may hold its value better but if you are only paying 150-175 for the regular (which I would always display anyway) then why bother with the ex. At least this is my strategy. I'm tired of wasting money on collectibles that depreciate in value over time. Of course this only makes sense if you dislike the changes made to the ex (which I do in this case, not so with aragorn, or gandalf).
