[laudel7]

There is indeed, It can be exspensive enough just in comparison to what you would pay over there

I got mine converted while ago and I was genuinely surprised since I was a day late when pre-order went up.

Really, was it the exclusive, I was an hour late and no conversion here.

 

[laudel7]

Must be, sure the reg is still up for pre order

$100 says it will be delayed

Whos feeling lucky?

[laudel7]

Yeah April will be fine with me.

I suspect we'll see this in April. But March would be cool too.
Then again, we could end up with the same type of fiasco that went down with the AMP Suit--major delay and bad QC. Trying not to go there but that seems to be the tune that SS is playing with these big maquettes.

 

[Awesome]

The pieces that have had the deposit required are most likely going to be looked at very carefully, and most likely every new pieces going forward will also. Sideshow loses money on every broken piece.

 

[laudel7]

Yeah April will be fine with me.

[pepez]

Sweet. Only about 4 months at the very latest to go then. And if so, SS will be releasing new pics of an actual production piece. I'm just glad we'll get this before Dark of the Moon.

 

[pepez]

Yes, I can be impatient too lol but the good thing is that I can have more time to save

 

[laudel7]

Thats good news pepez. Thanks for checking
