Dear Mamba,

Your pre-order of the Optimus Prime Maquette (400032) will be arriving into our US warehouse in approximately 23 days at which time we will charge your card for the item. Please verify that your shipping address and payment information are correct on your order by Thursday, September 15, 2011 through your online account.

This is the most expensive shipping cost that I ever quoted from Sideshow (and I live a state away from CA), so this piece is definitely not 8 pounds

No, I am not, I cancelled it after my waitlist was converted. Plasma Infusion told me that there could be a possibility that Sideshow will cut their order because I was the 3rd person that I ordered from them, I don't know how it works but I want 100% certainty that I will get this, so I cancelled it and luckily my waitlist was converted.

 

[laudel7]

Happy days I hope they send me my notice soon

 

[starscream77]

this is what I was told.

first batch will hit their office around Aug 31st. there will be about 90 pieces in that batch. second batch to hit their offices will be mid September.

the first to get theirs shipped are most like the exclusives, people that did flex pay and above all, people who get their credit cards processed with no hiccups or issues.

it does not weigh 8 pounds, but they couldn't confirm how much. my guess is 10-13 lbs with stand from what I was hearing.

also, I live in the states and it's costing almost $50 for shipping to here.

 

[jye318]

..... $50?? I live in LA and cost me $24, but the tax is $99....... Hate tax here...!!!!

Hopefully he is not damaged like the Iron Man maquette you bought.

Hopefully he is not damaged like the Iron Man maquette you bought.

damage = returning to sideshow or destroying optimus prime
