This was the first time my new vendor had worked with GameStop and they weren’t used to all the stringent compliance procedures (including a factory inspection), so it delayed things quite a bit, but I can assure you that they are all on a boat and on their way. We sent 30 units to Japan studio and they loved them. I’m really happy with the quality of samples on this product. So hang in there. I appreciate your patience.

Regarding the GameStop distribution issue, our gear store is going through a bit of a transition at the moment so for the SOTC statue, GameStop was the exclusive distributor. I can’t say for sure if that’s going to be an ongoing deal on all my statues. There are definite advantages of working with GameStop (including Intl sales) so we’ll see how things work out with my next statue for Days Gone. It’s designed and modeled by the game team and it’s going to be slightly larger in scale than my Kratos/Atreus statue. Here’s the early prototype on display at PAX:







Thanks!
Gary

Regarding international sales: Gamestop.com does no longer offer shipping to Europe due to the General Data Protection Regulation which took effect on May 25. So I'm sure there are a lot of people who will not be happy about exclusive Gamestop.com distribution rights. Just on a side note
