Question about Hobby Search website:

When are they expecting everyone to pay for this pre~order in full?

When it actually ships?

Thanks guys.

I'm really wanting to get one but, it all boils down to the timing of the final payment for me.

I agree..

That's why I went ahead and Pre~Ordered the Special Version of this Sano piece last night!

I figured that if I really can't decide on which one to actually get, then why not get em' both? .. My GF is gonna kill me now..

Next year is gonna be a great one for Alien fans. I can feel it already. I'm soooo hyped for all these new Big Chaps!!

Thank you to whoever posted the email address of Yumiko Maki at Roswell. I sent an email last week, and I just got this back:

Hello, Nathan.
Thank you for your inquiry.
I am Yumiko Maki of Roswell Japan.

Now, we can accept your order of the Sano Big Chap full figure statue kit.
However, it is very popular kit, so it is almost the end.
We will give the priority to the customers who sent payment.

Here is your price quote.

Resin Kit---------------JPY28,000
Shipping-----------------JPY5,400
----------------------------------
　　The total 　　　　 JPY33,400

I just saved half the money of the regular version, and it's going to end up looking better than the special version.

My 33 year wait for the perfect representation of the Big Chap Alien is now over.

BTW, it came out to about $450.

 

[Sabres21768]

Yep, this is as perfect an Alien collectible as you'll ever find.

 

[SilentSurfer]

And if it were not based on the museum piece, the pose might be an issue, but...

Totally agree with you on this one ... finally a Alien Statue that is perfect, love the museum representation

Okay, just outta curiosity.

Who pre~ordered one so far and which 'version' did you get?

So far I think I read..

Playa7: Special Ver.
AlienHelm: Special Ver.
Demorathis: Normal Ver.
Silent Surfer: Kit Ver.
THX217: ???
Sabres:???

Did I miss anybody?. Who else has one on PO and what version are you getting?

 

[alienhelm]

That is right so far ...

I think THX217 might have gotten both, I think he will def get the Special Version.

 

[SilentSurfer]

I had the regular ordered until tonight when I got that email about the kit. Reg. cancelled.

Ordered the Special Version and currently deciding whether to keep my pre-order for Sideshows big chap. The Sideshow pose just looks odd, its like the ALIEN spotted a mouse and is like "EEK!!"

 

[Bullseye]

Looks great. Look forward to seeing those in hand pictures. for me though the pose is just way too static.
