I just checked with Action Figure Xpress, where they show Free Shipping on orders over $80, unless they have a different policy for pre-orders.

free shipping is on in stock items only.

I'm actually kind of happy there is no exclusive. I don't feel like getting all sorta anxiety trying to not miss out on getting the exclusive before it sells out.

I've never ordered an exclusive from sideshow before. Is it a mad rush, as in sold out within 5 minutes? I hate rushes like that.

 

[livindaye]

holy moly!
but, this is lich king, not arthas..
they should add human head sculpt, so it become arthas...and when they do, I hope it's not EX

still, auto-PO this

I heard the Diablo 3 Barbarian exclusive sold out within 2 hours. Just what I've heard...from somewhere...

Edition Size???????????

 

[EnShinNoi]

Edition Size???????????

TBD most likely. I think it will end up being fairly high, at least 1000, because Arthas is arguably Blizzard's most popular character.

Yeah should have been a switch out corrupted Arthas head as the exclusive but it's still awesome. It is the Lich King more so than Arthas. Arthas is now dead but the Lich King still exists. Will be ordering him and Freddy.

ordered but will wait for retailer coz no ex so i can save customs

it doesnt work this way anymore, everything from sideshow now is TBD so you will have plenty of time to order the exclusive version - weeks & months. The old days where there is an edition size on release and get soldout within hours are LONG gone.

And thus so should buying these for investments.

Not really. I don't know about these types of characters but the Joker PF EX was TBD and it sold out in less than a day. You always take a chance when you wait. If you really love a statue, the safe bet is to PO it. If it's a statue I know I have to have...I'm not waiting or taking any chances. Just ask anyone who doesn't have the Joker EX or Skaar EX on order and are trying to secure one now. Skaar also sold out in less than a day.

comeon joker is the extremely rare exception, and if you added yourself to the wait list early it's an easy convert. Skaar was still using the old way, it had an edition size on PO i believe and was sold out within 24 hours.

For 99% of the new statue released nowdays, you will have PLENTY of time to get the ex before they are soldout. Sideshow has around a 1500-2000 unspoken limit threshold on their exclusive pieces, so unless a TBD statue manages to sell 1500-2000 in 24 hours like the joker did (very rare), you have plenty time to order them. Arthas and most of the new releases is no exception, they will be in TBD and open to order fo a long time.

I guess time will tell. I hope that they are not just pushing the market for coins. If there is really no "exclusive" about exclusives...

 

[gagaliya]

what the hell, did sideshow forgot to include an edition size? it's not even TBD this is strange.

Noticed that too. Strange.

1:5 scale...pass

1:5 scale...pass

it's the same scale as tychus and the barbarian...exactly where it should be...

I'm not saying your wrong, I'm just saying why take a chance? None of us know when a piece will sell out. If you know you will buy it....do it. Waiting is only a risk. For a piece I KNOW I'll be adding to my collection, I order right away. This way I'm certain it will be on my display shelf and I don't have to concern myself with aftermarket markups.

By the way, I POed this piece. Even though I know nothing of the character, it looked far too killer to pass on. Flexed and ready to go.

that theory worked great on skaar & colossus
