Maybe they couldn't provide an exact available date for shipments for preorders...

I think it's just the way their antiquated computer systems work.

My waitlist converted but he won’t ship until July-Sept. So likely another batch.

Yes I’ve seen it happen with other high ES pieces like WW and Spider-Man. My guess is that with high ES pieces they gather a WL to gauge interest before paying for the last batch to be made. For example if they’ve made 2500 of a 3000 ES run, they may use the WL to determine if there is enough interest to authorize the last batch of 500 pieces - if not they may end the run short?
But since Sabertooth is a relatively small ES (for SS anyway), the above may not apply.

gotta wait 5 more months for a statue people already have in hand? Hard pass. I'm cancelling my EX waitlist. Hope it goes to someone else who really wanted it.

Yeah mine converted too. I knew there was a bunch more and that’s even with the exclusive.
I picked it up but still think it’s pricey. $700 is what I picked up dkr straight from prime 1.
Hopefully it’s what everyone says it is and nothing short of a masterpiece.
