WHAT ARE MY CHANCES?

[jason2885]

I know I am still looking for one, I am mad I missed Lonnies he sold it pretty cheap.

I know I saw that to late too. But I just bought a GG Dewback for $350 on ebay so I dont have any money to buy a big item right now but Im a worried about this seller. I had already bought a GG Speederbike and Tauntaun from him and didnt have any problems. I had it 5 days later but he said he had to go get the Dewback out of storage and said he would ship it with in 10 days. Its been about 2 weeks now but he did promise me that he would ship on this Friday so I guess we will see. I really hope I can get one for $350 and not have to go through Paypal to get my money back.

I don't know--I missed him when he went up. I got on the wait list afterwards and got him that way.

I got on the wait list a few months ago but all I have is a fools hope to no hope at all that way.

Oh, good luck! You're going to need it.

I got on the wait list in the summer of 2005.

I got on it in July of last year and nothing so far.

 

[tomandshell]

Well, they haven't closed the wait list yet, so keep your fingers crossed!

And someone got one off the wait list like 2-3 months ago.

LOKI - thank you so much!! My buddy told me everyone on here was very friendly and he's so right. I really appreciate all of your ideas/help!! Very cool of y'all. I'll jump on there tomorrow right at 12:00:01 and see what I can do!! I'll let you guys know. THANKS AGAIN!

It's nothing. I know I will need to depend on some help here to get some GG exclusives so I like to help out where I can.

You will have no problems getting this on your own though.

 

[Darklord Dave]

Han exclusive took at least 24 hours to sell out. And there weren't anywhere near 1000 of him.

 

[Bonehead15]

The thing with PF or anything this high end is I don't think you can compare the sell out rates of the 1:6 to these. Sometimes I think folks do that and get to feeling negative about the PF lines. This will last past the 2 hour mark I think but that doesn't mean it's a slow seller.

I agree.

People are more willing to spend $65 for a 1:6 figure than $200++ for a PF. The demand for 1:6 figures is MUCH greater than PFs.

Normally I would agree with you 100% on this point, but this is Darth Maul we're talking about. It probably will still be available after the end of the special window, but it wouldn't surprise me too much to see it sell out during that time, either.

It could. I'm getting mine that's all I gotta say.

Well, I'd sure like to know how someone got one 2-3 months ago. I put myself on the wait list at the end of 2005, and I got a notice from Sideshow last July that no more were available, and they canceled my order. If there really were still some available, I'm going to be very, very upset.

 

[tomandshell]

Well, at one point I received an e-mail from Sideshow telling me that I had basically no chance of ever getting one since there were so few made, and that if I wanted I could purchase a sold out regular Han instead.

I turned down the offer and kept my wait list--even though there seemed to be no hope. It was eventually converted and I received a Han Exclusive at regular price.

I wonder when he got on the wait list?

 

[user 1190]

He said later that he got on it 8/29/05

 

[tomandshell]

I went back and checked. I got on the wait list only a few days before that, on 8/20/05. Mine was converted and shipped on 1/24/06.

So even though he got on the wait list nine days after me, it took nine months longer for him to get one. Every day counts. Getting on the wait list even in September or October of 2005 might have already been too late.

There just weren't enough of these to go around.

 

[user 1190]

I seriously don't think it will ever come thru but I am not canceling it either.

 

[tomandshell]

Don't cancel it!!

It doesn't hurt at all to leave it in there. You never know what will turn up in the warehouse. I still have one or two Wait List orders in my account that I don't think will ever get converted, but I leave them there just in case. Who knows--they might just run across an extra Treebeard Bust one of these days...
