The world isn't on hold for some people. And I can't help everybody, but I just bought two new piece of OA which cost more than this statue - so an artist will get a little more cash that they wouldn't have because the convention season is shot. And I'm not the only person dropping cash on art, lots of people are buying. Just look at the crazy amazing prices Jim Lee charity sketches are going for!
the world isn't ending and this is just a PO. XM is keeping things moving and more power to them.

Demona yes I can afford it at the moment (read above post)
And you are right the world is not on hold for everyone. Business does obviously have to keep moving but there is a price to be paid, you've got many loyal customers around the world who at the moment are currently not able to purchase non-essential items.
Demona, good to hear that you've just bought two new OA which cost more than this statue, I am happy for you.
Demona I'd like to ask U, how many statues since the 2019 Singapore convention have you purchased or put on pre-order
???
I can confidently say I have put on pre-order or purchased (delivered) at least 15-20 (lost count), the bulk of those would be XM but there are others in there. So I am trying my bit to keep these companies and the guy at the online statue stores afloat and continue doing business.
My original comment was that if companies could hold back on pre-orders or not put four or five in the space of a month in the middle of this epidemic crisis. Hopefully within the next 3 to 6 months this will all blow over and life can go back to normal.
Remember we are all in this together.
