    Same here. He’s too pretty to potentially scuff up.

    That runs with the assumption you are willing to either pay up front months ahead of time, or someone catch a preorder when people spazz out to buy up preorders.

    Most of the shops only ask a few dollars to pre order it and not the full amount.
    For a few dollars to be sure to get one, i really don't mind as many on this forum agrees with me.
    If a shop ask a full amound for pre order ( mostly e- bay scammers ), just don't do it.

    Na lol. They only list 10-20 or so stock at a time. Presumably so that they don't oversell.

    For those who’ve followed fanstoys for a while, what’s a realistic timeframe to expect a reprint of this? I didn’t start collecting till after this preorder was long gone

    Yeah but 100 bucks more
    I’m assuming I’ll pay more second wave but not willing to pay an extra 100

    The cheapest you're gonna get it is at ShowZ and that's $100 over it's original price. You're only other hope might be from someone here but the trick is finding someone willing to let one go at a reasonable price.

    The way things are going the re-issue may be $280-300+ but there's no way I can see it getting re-issued this year.
