Sideshow Making 20"+ Movie Optimus Prime Maquette

[INFECDEAD]

I want to kill my self for being so stupid. Experience is really important!!!!!!!!!!!! Now I learnt it the hard way.

I have never do this preorder before. I thought the newsletter will be sent to my email. Keep refreshing it and nothin happened. Keep browsing sites like IDIOT then I refresh my newsletter page.. BOOM it's already there.

Click it and when I check waitlist!!!!!!! WTH!!!!!! I dreamed of this for so long and I cancelled all activities today for this..

I am so sad now

Hi Pepez
The newsletter is posted on the sideshow site at around 6pm Thursdays pacific time. You don't even need to open the newsletter really because the new products appear in the scrolling products bar on the Sideshow Home Page at the same time.
Cheer up mate, it's early days and the waitlists do work!

 

[INFECDEAD]

please dont rub it in lol

i plan on calling sideshow tomorrow to vent...maybe they will feel bad for us early waitlisters

Yeah, they might say that the edition size of 100 was "a type-o" like in the Darth Talon BS they pulled!

How do you find out what your edition # is?

Went out to A&W with Wife and came back home to missing a great piece

Jump on the WL, if you haven't yet. It will probably convert. The economy isn't going anywhere (down maybe if anything), and as soon as a few months pass, I'm sure there will be non-fans and flippers that will have second thoughts.

Sorry to hear that happened to you, sounds like you're a really big fan.

The exclusive isn't that special, the thing is so expensive anyways that people wouldn't value the exclusive version all that much more

 

[darthviper107]

Also, I doubt many waitlist converts

Since there's a $240 non-refundable deposit, for the most part the people that order aren't going to cancel.

How do you find out what your edition # is?

When it shows up at your doorstep. It's random they way they ship them out.

Anyone,

How do I know if my waitlist get converted to approved? Will they send email or what? I don't want to miss this one as well. Thanks

You will get a random number when they ship. It doesn't matter if you were first or last to order, you could get any number...

Thanks a lot Le Fantome. I am a big fan. I forced myself to afford it. I argued whether to buy it. Now that I missed it I would buy it on heartbeat. LOL so humane..

How do all of u know if there's even serial number? Is there any certificate or something?

You will get a waitlist converting notice in email. You will also have to confirm payment of the deposit if you want the waitlist to activate into an order. You'll probably get a week to make up your mind before the order is cancelled.

They'll email you. But read it carefully. It will probably be quite a while, but keep an eye out.

The bottom of your statue will be numbered as well as the full colour box and the outer brown shipper aswell. There are no certificates.

i feel your pain man. this really is/would be my 1st sideshow purchase, been waiting, following this piece for a long time. looking at the time it sold out and when i was put on the wait list i think i had just missed it.

so im guessing they go by who's atop the wait list first? do you have an order id?...maybe that will indicate how far down the list we are...

 

[INFECDEAD]

You are right starscream, waitlist orders are converted in the order they are received. I know the EX would have been nice but if you miss out you could always make your own blades for the regular version - the switch out hands and guns make it possible for you to put your own custom blades in there.
