400 for a statue.... ugghghhghg I really want it but i don't think i can justify that price tag.

The Prestige Edition was $150 more but now you can't get them for less than $800...I grabbed one, it will only go up in value.

Unless they're producing thousands more for Gamestop, or if the statue ends up being bad. Probably a good investment but there's definitely risk.

The description on Gamestop says it is the Cinder statue from the Prestige edition, so I am hoping the quality is identical. I do wonder how many Gamestop has available for sale. I hope it isn't thousands or tens of thousands. Hopefully, it is on par with the number released of the Prestige edition.

Only time will tell, grabbed two just incase. I can always return one or if someone here missed out I can hook someone up. (No mark up)...I don't play that game.

For that price it will be a pretty limited run, GS looses money anytime they a publisher over produces CE, well most of the time.

Sure hope so. I wonder if each statue will be numbered?

I just bought 2 myself. One for me and my brother. Idk what all the confusion is about. It says limited to 2,000 pieces for US gamestops only. Im not huge into resale but if I had a few grand lying around, I would hop on these and wait for international buyers to jump.

Gamestop and Bandai Namco's official store.

What are you referring to with your post?

Mine? The statue in the US isn't exclusive to Gamestop. You can also get it on the Bandai Namco official store website.

[tsquared44]

Oh ok. I got you. Odd, it says less than 1000 on Namco website. Seems like a weird number. Maybe the production values are grouped together for Namco and gamestop. Either way, the production quantity is still very minimal. Beautiful statue though, a real eye turner.

Yeah, we came to the conclusion in another thread that BN took less than one thousand and the rest were sent to Gamestop. Either way, I am super excited that mine will be here soon!

[tsquared44]

anybody know when this is being released?. Gamestop and Namco store say two different dates.

Gamestop is 4/24. Bandai Namco has already shipped mine and it is scheduled for delivery Monday. So Bandai Namco is shipping first.

[tsquared44]

That's great dude. Post some pics and let us know how it looks. I woke up this morning to both my gamestop orders cancelled. I guess since there max quantity is 1, they saw I was trying to get around them with two different addresses. Oh well, my money went to the Namco store instead.

[BAD-WAYNE]

Well, I got my Statue today from Bandai Namco and I have to say I love it, totally worth the money. It's the exact same size as my sideshow premium format statues so the price is definitely on par. Btw, it is definitely a 2000 statue run. Now for the part that upsets me. I don't know if Gamestops version will come in a box made for individual sale but the one I got from Bandai Namco csme in the Prestige Edition game box. There is no doubt it is just the Prestige Edition without the game and goodies. There is a large pullout behind the statue compartment complete with vacant foam pre-cut for the game, art book atc. So why didn't they just offer the Prestige Edition to US consumers??? I totally would have paid retail for it.

It is extremely odd how it has been handled, that's for sure. I am 99% sure Gamestop is just getting the remainder of the 2000 that Bandai Namco isn't selling. My shipping box said xxx/1010 for number and parcel count (funny enough, the number on the box [972] doesn't match my statue [978]), clearly they didn't get 2000.

[BAD-WAYNE]

Same thing here shipper box says 343/1010 but the statue is 689/2000...Unfortunately my box was pretty beat up so maybe the Gamestop one won't be so bad. What condition was your box.

The shipping box had one small ding in it. The actual statue box is in near perfect condition, surprisingly. The foam in the part that would contain the extras is a little out of shape since there was nothing to hold it in proper shape when it was slid in. No big deal.

[BAD-WAYNE]

Mine has three dented corners which are big deal but the front right door that opens has a huge crease. So much for displaying the box. Sux cause it's a really cool box that is stupid heavy.

I dont know if this has anything to do with quantity but i just received my statues and the numbers were 777/1010 and 778/1010.

On the statues or the shipping boxes?

Did you order from Bandai Namco? My box from Bandai Namco was out of 1010, so I assume that was how many they received with the rest going to Gamestop.

[tsquared44]

Yea. Thats what I thought. Freaking amazing statue though. I like it better than my skyrim statue. Looking forward to my bioshock statues from gaming heads and irrational games.

[BAD-WAYNE]

I ordered one from GS and ine from Bandai...both STATUES were numbered less than 1000/2000 so that theory is shot.

I was talking about the outer box numbering. It was running on a different clock than the statue#s themselves.

Just because you ended up with two statues below 1000 doesn't mean the stock wasn't split between the two companies...

I thought you were implying that the xxx/1010 meant that all thoses (1-1010) were sold from Bandai Namco and (1011-2000) were sold through Games Stop. That was my thoughts as well until I got one from each with both statues being sub 1000 and both shipper boxes being sub 1000 out of 1010.

Bandai Namco shipper was 343/1010

Gamestop shipper, which is the exact same box only difference is it says 943/1010 on one side and 944/1010 on the other.

I'm guessing each got around 1000 plus a few extras for damage.
