Nice.

I really hope I don't miss out on Ray when its announced for sale.

I wonder if Raiden will make an appearance with Ray, like Snake did if you ordered Rex from Bambaland?

I hope they don't use a Boeing Dreamliner,
Oh wait, they are grounded, were safe.
Mine says the same thing, and it was only the US orders that went by boat I believe, don't ask me why.

It'll most likely be Liquid Ocelot with Ray, as they have the MGS4 licence I believe, so the snake figure they included with Rex is Old Snake, and it is the ugliest figure I've ever seen! Looks like it was created by a 6 year old. The 'exclusive' packaging is also the same as the retail version with the exception of a tiny Snake silhouette next to Rex, and the poster is just the same artwork that's on the box. Massive fail by 3A.

I'm seriously sick and tired of this company. They are the worst. Epic delays on this figure with no communication to customers, crappy exclusive for those who paid IN FULL a year in advance, and now they are finally shipping but still no word on when Sideshow is getting their stock. What a joke. Not sure if I even want Ray after all this, to be honest.

Eventhough they are slow, there are no other REX that is as good quality as this. I am quite disappointed in the "exclusive packaging" but I wont regret it.

At least their rep in facebook replies constantly unlike my iPad and Nexus case from Treegloo that took 7 months and still no news on my item. They gave me a fake shipping by lodging the item but did not give the package to post office. Worst of all their whole team is ignoring me.

I would rather wait patiently for a product the manufaturers/designers are happy with. People would soon start moaning if build quality wasn't up to scratch. And as for the bambaland versions of snake and the box being poor. Well, it was still cheaper than buying elsewhere as shipping was included in the price.
I cant wait to get mine.

It's not that it took forever to get here, it's more the fact that they told customers it would ship August last year, yet they are only shipping now, and retail customers are still kept in the dark. Just piss-poor customer service really. The figure ain't perfect either. It does have flaws, and for $500 and a 3 year wait, it really should be perfect. I ordered mine from Sideshow, so it's not a big deal to me as I didn't pay for it a year in advance, but honestly, if I had ordered from Bambaland like you guys I'd be pissed if some company had been sitting on my money for a year collecting interest and BS about the release date of the product.

Mine is held at customs now. Sigh. Good bye REX. Will probably be opened for full inspection and there will be missing pieces or broken joints after the inspection. Not including the possible dirt marks/ marker pen on the packaging.
