OH THE AGONY OF DECISION-MAKING

Yep I got it but may regret it

Who knows?

I must prefer the look of the gamingheads one but will be trying to get that one as well

VG collecting is so very very unforgiving

I was all set to purchase too, but that price difference between this one and the exclusive is just too much to stomach. When I ordered my exclusive dragonborn statue, I knew I really wanted it. This one however, I'm unsure why/if i really want it and I'm having to think about it too much and have to try and justify the purchase. After duty and postage costs, it's going to push the price up by about $200~ compared to what it's cost for my exclusive from gamingheads.

I have ultimately decided to give this a miss and the money will goto towards something else. Most likely a new console. Lol

There is a coupon code posted on their FB page: Quake20Sale
Good for 20% off orders over $50. Not including this.
Would have jumped if it were, but I think I'm going to pass now based solely on price.

I read that and almost threw something at the monitor until I realized it didn't work for this

Sadly I find this to be a bit of a cash grab but will still get it as will surely get harder to get after it sells out

Assuming it sells out

I wouldn't call it a cash grab really. Lower production numbers always means increased cost per unit.
At least there isn't an ultra-limited Todd Howard signed edition for $500. You know what those signatures are going for these days

Damn.

Would have bit if it worked on this! Lol

Still debating this statue. >.<

@ Ryan: Would it be possible to arrange for some kind of international distribution by gamingheads direct instead of treehouse since they are manufacturing the statue? It would work out significantly cheaper for international customers where shipping and duties are concerned. Shipping for the Exclusive from Gamingheads was only charged at $50 to me as they have a distribution centre in Europe and therefore there are no further tax or duties to pay as these are prepaid. This really is the main thing that is putting me off getting this statue.

Anyone here tha decided to get the treehouse statue and wants to transfer their preoder for the GH exclusive?

And yeah, $370 full pay is asking a lot. I figured it would be a down deposit. I'm kind of happy that I didn't like it because there is no way I could throw almost $400 on something right away.

I just made my dragonborn wear the morokei mask and my gf was telling me to change it. Had a great laugh running around with it and her nagging all the way. Ordered this. My shipping costs 112! LOL

Note: I still think it looks really weird. Hopefully we can mix and match the weapons with the other statues.

haha glad I'm not the only mad one then

Sucks about the shipping though but I know it's a big ol box

Would be amazing if you could mix and match weapons

Imagine the gamingheads one with glowing arm and axe

Or sword and shield?

Hmm grown men excited to play with fancy dolls

Nothing wrong with that
