Wow! That's a gorgeous statue! Why december deposits? You statue companies are killing me here... probably will have to pass on this one too, but I'd LOVE to have Zer0, Mordecai, and the two Sirens (those are the only characters I really played as in the game at all so far) and of course CL4pTr4p! (who am I kidding, it'd drive me crazy that I didn't have the "whole gang" - definitely have to pass for now).

Hopefully there'll be a large enough run size that I can pick one up down the road!

Edit: Also can you post a link to the store in your OP? Mobile and all that.

My bad forgot to post link haha. Yea too many statues. Everyone seems to be making large scale statues. $150-$180, I will be all over these but $300 is a lot if they are going to make the whole gang.

That said.. Gunzerker and Berzerker might make me reconsider

Pre Order for Zero Statue is only opened for a period of time. Once its past the date they will stop taking in orders. Not really limited in Numbers, but order dates.

I got one myself.. seeing how i love borderlands..

Yeah, so a couple things.

We're making a few small changes to it, so we're going to reach out anyone that bought one really soon with details. Then we'll re-launch it at a cheaper price and with a set edition size. Seemed prudent to take it down in the mean time, but we were hoping to have all the final details out before too many people noticed.... Soon.

Also, it's nice that this thread is about Borderlands Statues and not just about a Zer0 statue. Just sayin'.

Why the changes from Order Period to Set Edition size?

Hey Ryan, thanks for replying.

So the re-launched statue will be a different version or the changes are for the original version?
If it's for the original version, then all existing orders will be changed to the cheaper price?

Yes, I'm expecting a strong line of Borderlands statues so might as well make a proper thread for all of them!

You'll have a chance to get a refund if you don't like the new deal, and we're working out something small extra for you just for the hassle.

Without getting into details, we inherited this project part-way through and weren't able to make some key decisions about the statue initially. We've since had it given over to us completely, so we're trying to make it more in line with something we thought more people would be into. For instance, the lowered cost.

As for the timed vs. edition size, that's slightly to do with us wanting to not take chances on the cost of it (and therefore be able to offer it at a lower price to you when it comes back up), but largely to do with a preference against timed editions. I'm a huge proponent of taking a stand for something, so declaring the edition size up front feels better to me, and seems like a stronger position to take with hard core collectors. I don't like to make big purchases without all the information up front.... Hopefully you won't mind terribly that it's a more traditional statue because the thing is super impressive and cool in person.

Specifics are still TBD at the moment, but the statue will physically be the same, except for the edition size. One of the things we're cutting is the fanciness of the box, which you didn't see, though it was hinted at in the description.

So, since the timing, description, and edition size are all a bit different than when we took people's money, we're going to send out emails to find out what everyone wants to do. You can either keep the money down on the final version, plus some incentive for being down from the start and putting up with this, or we can refund you. It's taken longer than we intended to iron out the details (holiday break, some other hurdles), so we should have already gotten in touch with everyone, but we wanted to make sure if we were going to hassle folks we would hassle them with super double final information....

More soon.
