Wow! That's a gorgeous statue! :drool: Why december deposits? You statue companies are killing me here... probably will have to pass on this one too, but I'd LOVE to have Zer0, Mordecai, and the two Sirens (those are the only characters I really played as in the game at all so far) and of course CL4pTr4p! (who am I kidding, it'd drive me crazy that I didn't have the "whole gang" - definitely have to pass for now).
Hopefully there'll be a large enough run size that I can pick one up down the road! :thumb:
Edit: Also can you post a link to the store in your OP? Mobile and all that.

My bad forgot to post link haha. Yea too many statues. Everyone seems to be making large scale statues. $150-$180, I will be all over these but $300 is a lot if they are going to make the whole gang.
That said.. Gunzerker and Berzerker might make me reconsider

Pre Order for Zero Statue is only opened for a period of time. Once its past the date they will stop taking in orders. Not really limited in Numbers, but order dates.
I got one myself.. seeing how i love borderlands..

Yeah, so a couple things.
We're making a few small changes to it, so we're going to reach out anyone that bought one really soon with details. Then we'll re-launch it at a cheaper price and with a set edition size. Seemed prudent to take it down in the mean time, but we were hoping to have all the final details out before too many people noticed.... Soon.
Also, it's nice that this thread is about Borderlands Statues and not just about a Zer0 statue. Just sayin'.

Hey Ryan, thanks for replying.
So the re-launched statue will be a different version or the changes are for the original version?
If it's for the original version, then all existing orders will be changed to the cheaper price?
Yes, I'm expecting a strong line of Borderlands statues so might as well make a proper thread for all of them! :barsong:

You'll have a chance to get a refund if you don't like the new deal, and we're working out something small extra for you just for the hassle.
Without getting into details, we inherited this project part-way through and weren't able to make some key decisions about the statue initially. We've since had it given over to us completely, so we're trying to make it more in line with something we thought more people would be into. For instance, the lowered cost.
As for the timed vs. edition size, that's slightly to do with us wanting to not take chances on the cost of it (and therefore be able to offer it at a lower price to you when it comes back up), but largely to do with a preference against timed editions. I'm a huge proponent of taking a stand for something, so declaring the edition size up front feels better to me, and seems like a stronger position to take with hard core collectors. I don't like to make big purchases without all the information up front.... Hopefully you won't mind terribly that it's a more traditional statue because the thing is super impressive and cool in person.

Specifics are still TBD at the moment, but the statue will physically be the same, except for the edition size. One of the things we're cutting is the fanciness of the box, which you didn't see, though it was hinted at in the description.
So, since the timing, description, and edition size are all a bit different than when we took people's money, we're going to send out emails to find out what everyone wants to do. You can either keep the money down on the final version, plus some incentive for being down from the start and putting up with this, or we can refund you. It's taken longer than we intended to iron out the details (holiday break, some other hurdles), so we should have already gotten in touch with everyone, but we wanted to make sure if we were going to hassle folks we would hassle them with super double final information....
More soon.

:thumb: Thanks for the explanation Ryan, its great to hear from you :D
I will not cancel my order, and for sure this statue gonna look awesome. Zer0 himself is already cool :p
Just curious when you mentioned Treehouse would have 'small extra' for us who ordered earlier.. Must be something cool i assume?
Dr_Jengo
01-21-2015, 01:58 AM
That sound good. I personally think it's too early for this to thrive on a Time Edition since a lot of people don't even know this exists. I have this up on my blog but I have gotten quite a number of emails asking if the store is legit or if the news is real, even though I linked it to the official store.
You can either keep the money down on the final version, plus some incentive for being down from the start and putting up with this, or we can refund you.
Too bad, I didn't put down a deposit early for this. :facepalm:
Anyway, the lower price will be a welcome change along with whatever else you guys have planned for this. Absolutely loved this piece but the price was just too much considering I would invest in the whole line.
Looking forward to the details!

Don't get too excited! I was thinking some store credit so the statue would have a bit of a further discount. Maybe I'll have to figure out something more creative....

Zer0 is coming back! His light up sword is taking longer to produce, so Moxxi is actually going to be ready to ship first even though she was started later. But you'll have another shot at Zer0 (at a lower price than before) very soon....
Also, those Moxxi photos were taken by us and I have her in my office still. So unlike nearly every other statue we've sold, I've actually got first-hand experience with the prototype. The paint looks really cool in person, and the real stocking adds a lot more to the overall appearance than I was expecting it to. It's an impressive statue.

Don't know how I missed these posts the first time, otherwise I'd have already put one away

Don't know where else to post this, but I purchased a Butt Stallion and it arrived broken. I have contacted the numbers that I could find and sent multiple emails. I honestly just want an RMA to send it back and get a refund after all the hassle that has been made. I can't seem to get anywhere wib anyone. Please help.

We'll sort you out. Ticket volume has been nutty-nut-nuts since the Fallout 4 announce, so our customer service folks have been buried (and every time you re-send, you get bumped back to the bottom of the queue because it's last-in-last-out, unfortunately)....
We've hired two new full time CS people and are interviewing for more. We've also shifted a few internal people into swinging between their regular jobs and handling tickets. Shit is just out of control still, so it's taking longer than normal to get back to folks because there are just too many requests to get through. Really sorry about the poor response time, but they're honestly working as hard as they possibly can.
If you want to PM me your order number, I can try to get you prioritized, but given the panic-level over there I can't promise they'll be willing to do me any favors right now. Regardless, they'll absolutely make sure your statue is replaced when they are able to respond....
Sorry again.

So, it turns out there was a good reason this was in a spoiler tag....
Got off the phone with the factory and there was an issue with the wiring, so he's delayed...again. We're going to push the re-listing so there's less of a gap between when you pay for him and when he shows up.
Let's just pretend I didn't leak that information, yeah? He'll still come back. Just not this week after all.

I'm so glad that I can get a response in this post. Unfortunately, it's about as poor as the service from the website concerning this item.
Anyways, I will attempt to get a response in here again...
So, the website now says that this item is no longer a preorder which I now have to assume that these are being released to those who have paid in full (of which I am one of them). The last recorded ship date was the 28th of December, however, it is basically the 31st (minus an hour or two) and I have had no shipping confirmation on my Moxxii statue...
This has been nothing short of incredibly disappointing the lack of responses in relation to questions I have asked here and at the website considering full payment had to be made up front and quite a long time ago.
For someone who was very excited about seeing a full range of these to collect, my experience has definitely been a s our one and I will think twice before considering any further purchases from here based on this poor experience/service.
If Ryan can find the time to respond, it'd be much appreciated.
Thanks

I have paid for this item in full MONTHS ago and still not yet had a shipping confirmation or delivery yet.

No one on this site affiliated with treehouse has responded to my questions in this thread for months either and I am getting quite annoyed about it.
Would love a response so I know what is going on as the service from this site has been quite poor to date...

Was going to say the same thing Funky, and nothing personal here, just some info. Ryan does us a HUUUUUUGE favor and service by being a liaison on here for us, notifying us of deals and somewhat "inside" information when he can. He 1) is not even in a customer-service related position as far as I know and 2) even if he was, wouldn't and shouldn't be required and expected to handle such issues from this medium. (a totally non-related 3rd party website forum)
I totally understand your frustration - seems like the whole internet has experienced the same thing since the merge/take-over over there, but I just don't think your words regarding Ryan on here are warranted at all. He's our "hero" (when he can be), not the problem... it's kind of like blaming Batman for all the troubles in Gotham. :thumb:

Ok, first of all, I am simply commenting on my frustration with the gearbox website which to my understanding is part of the treehouse brand.
Second of all, not once have I said anything bad about Ryan himself, merely at the service provided by the company. The only time I had even mentioned Ryan, was by simply asking if he would be able to find some time to respond...
So no, it's not like blaming Batman for all the problems of Gotham if you had in fact read what I had actually written..

I think your missing the point. I was expressing my frustration with the Treehouse site about this item and if that has come across as being an attack on Ryan then sorry to say, but your mistaken. If Ryan is the only person on this site affiliated with Treehouse, I can see how it may have come across that way but that was and is not my intention.
My venting was as I said, expressing frustration at what I am going through with the Treehouse site so that others who may or may not wish to purchase from it can see the issues that I am having with it.
