Also, any idea what company would be used to ship it to international customers?

That's really cool that you guys are getting an exclusive of your own. ^o^ I really look forward to seeing some pics. A little disappointing to hear that it won't have the glowing hand though. I think I will still most likely go for the most limited version though. lol Will be awaiting some pics and more info.

Totally understand. That's why I wanted to pop on here and start the clock on decisions. It's a lot of money, and at the limited quantity available, there could be a run on them when they're announced, so the more time to mull the better....

Should be able to tell you more concrete info about shipping (and price) early next week.

I think our guy is the most interesting looking, but he's not as iconically Skyrim (and has no glowing hand), so for the money I'm not sure where I'd go if I were a big fan.

Ok, cool. I'll keep checking back here during the week then for more info then.

I'll have to wait for images before I make my final decision though! XD I can live without the glowing hand as I don't often have the lights on, on any of my figures anyway, so it's kinda wasted! XD

Not sure what you mean by "not as iconically skyrim", but I look forward to the reveal.

Thanks for your replies! ^o^

Releasing on Thursday now to coincide with the announcement and Quakecon kick-off.

$370, so a little more upcharge than I was hoping.

And some not unexpected not great news on the shipping front:

Thursday, that is cool. Any idea of time? That shipping price sucks though. As you said, definitely wasn't unexpected. Definitely can't justify the price via MSI. >.< When will the exact shipping price for internationals be decided? If we were to pre-order one, would international customer be given an option to back out depending on the final shipping prices? o.0

Now I'm nervous there's going to be numerous Assassin's Creed statues... I'm scared come October/November...

I really like this Skyrim statue, though there's no way I could own just one of the variants, I'd have to dive in for all three... not going to happen!

Why would you need the regular edition?

The gear heads version includes everything the regular does and then adds a glowing hand to it

It is entirely inclusive of the previous edition with a lower run size like how exclusive statues should be done imo

Will be curious to see what this statue has differently and why it denotes a 50 USD increase in price

If shipping costs for internationals is as much as the MSI option, then there would need to be a substantial difference between the Exclusive at Gamingheads and this one for me to be able to justify the $200 price difference. >.<

Gamingheads Exclusive - $369.99 including postage
Bioware Store Exclusive - $570 Including shipping



Also, while I think about it, does the MSI shipping option include Customs and Duty pre-paid for international customers? That will drive the price right up for internationals if we also get stung with a customs fee too. >.<

It's shipping to us mid-August, so maybe a month after that is a safe bet? Could be earlier if things go very well, but could probably be a little later if things go any other way....

Exact shipping price will be figured before it goes on sale. I just wanted to give you the info as it came to me....

Apparently the MSRP came from the manufacturer and was based on the lower edition size more than anything else. Don't expect anything crazy....

Ryan I forget if my payment method is credit card, when will I be charged for it?

At time of purchase. All of our pre-sales are pay-to-hold-your-place-in-line....
