Let's hope they were not part of the shipment lost in the Fedex fire

I just said the same thing here

If it is the case then with an amount of only 200 then they will be worth more

no, i believe they get either frieght to haul it or by container, since they're also the distributor they have large orders coming in all the time.

have looked at getting him in the past, but that's the one thing that's kept me from pulling the trigger is the larger size of him against the Hulk etc.
also one of the reasons i doubting if i'll keep my Hulkbuster piece.

Technically the Juggernaut is supposed to be signinficantly larger than Hulk in the comics. Hulk 7-8 feet tall and juggernaut is close to ten feet. Therefore a 1/4-1/3 scale would match up well with a hulk PF

marvel.com lists character stats. They have juggernaut at 9.5 feet.

Ok, then the 25" height on the Jugger commiquette does make sense, and puts him in 1/4 scale. It will work with the 1/4 scale.

Anyone in the EU get one of these yet?

 

[kinky queen]

I asked my dealer yesterday and he said the one he got his hands on would be at his place 15 January

 

[Bullseye]

Cool. I would say direct shipping would be a killer on this piece.

My LCS has them coming in on Tuesday next week. I will be waiting outside the shop when he opens . I am not holding my breath as knowing my luck they will be delayed but good things come to those who wait as they say. If I get my hands on it I will take some pics and post them straight away.

What a surprise. I just got a mail to say they might not get them in on Tuesday and they will mail me when they come in Good thing I didn't hold my breath then

 

[kinky queen]

Seems this is hard to get already

 

[chris rankin]

Seems this is hard to get already

And it will only get harder. I am guaranteed one but I don't do waiting very well

Same here. It's paid, but my seller 'expects' it next friday. I'm not relaxed until i got it in hand

I hope it is going to be as hot as we think it will be. There was not much hype about this when it was released but now all of a sudden it is a must have . I wont relax until I have it on display at home.

100% sure. I don't have links etc, but I know because my Endo full size 1:2 Endo came in under warranty and he gave me a call. We discussed the Man-Thing as I was interested in buying another one. He had them in stock literally yesterday.

Now, when they get shipped out to the stores, I do not know.

This I do know: The Canadian distributor for SS is one of the best distributors I have dealt with, and they do not mess around when it comes to getting stuff for the LCS. They are simply superb. I would not be surprised if they have not already begun the paperwork of getting them out already.

Chris, IMO people are making this a hot sculpt because of a few things, some of which are unusual. I think what is really making this a big hype (and hopefully not over-hyped) is that 1) it is an unusual character, 2) a low ES, 3) a piece that will strike conversation instantly on display because it not well-known, 4) just such an unusual sculpt from all the rest out there.

All these put together are really making people notice a character that just normally does not get this attention.

It is kind of neat.

... and to further that, the story behind Man-Thing is interesting, with whom some will empathize with.
