It will still be limited to how many people own this piece in the world so who cares 7 billion people in the world millions of Thanos fans and some hard core ones, some that don't even know that sideshow exist and might not until years from now just to see an amazing Thanos piece was released years ago and sold out lol. Even if it were 2,000 regular think about that only 2,000 out of 7 billion have that statue! I'm happy with the regular edition now would I have preferred the Ex of course but hey you win some and lose some I go through this type of pain with everything from comic variants to shoe releases it's part of the game you win or lose, at least in this particular case I can still get a statue just with an add on missing if it were shoes and they sold out then I get nothing. Plus we have the luck that there is other skilled artist out there willing to do extra pieces like heads and nobody will say hey that head isn't original to that statue but back to the shoes there is no person who could replicate the exact shoe I want and not have someone tell me I have a knock off lol. So I say congratulations to both parties the EX and the regulars we own something that a very small amount of people in this world will own. Be thankful we can even afford this hobby that means most of use are blessed with good jobs and have that type of income to spend it on things like this. Proud regular edition owner and print owner

Who am I to argue about this character ? I really don't know him that well. As someone who does not follow the character he looks like he wants me to come over so he can tickle me.... granted in the most evil way possible. It's why I like the reg head as it is more menacing. But I know the Character well enough to know that he smiles a lot. So I can see why it would be a must. I just don't think this is ex or fail for those that missed out on the Ex...... unless you are concerned with value..... then it is ex or fail.
You're a good man P1X4R. Nice seeing you around again!
Here's a tip. Some of you may have caught my direct pre-order link for the exclusive the night before. It was ready to go but password protected. I posted it again about an hour before it went live. Although at noon PT the entire Sideshow website had everything redirected to point to the pre-order page. Nothing new here. We've seen this before.
However, it's pretty easy to predict these URLs. Here's what to look for. The blog showing the exclusive pics has the SKU in the URL. Also, they normally add a "1" at the end to distinguish it as the exclusive.
Just find the item name. Here it's "thanos-on-throne". Put "/collectibles/marvel-" in front and "-collectibles-" plus SKU number at the end.

It's not a big secret but gets you there that extra faster.
I hope this helps you guys get to the direct ordering page faster next time. Of course when there's so much traffic hitting the site and the database not responding then there's not much you can do but wait until you get a valid response.
I remember a few years back ordering the Grey Hulk PF or Patient Zero EX PF. I wrote a simple script to check URL's every X amount of time. Once the link was active my script would email my pager. haha, good times.
