Still have my email where they told me that 2 weeks ago. But I have my fingers crossed. It’s more important to me that it’s in great shape but it’s driving me crazy.

Yea shipping 2 huge heavy boxes with tons of pieces in each is a bit nerve wracking!

And yea I might be done with IS after I receive my Colossus this week.

I used to like IS because you could always find a $10-$20 promo code AND they didn’t charge me tax, so they were always like $40-$50 cheaper overall than Sideshow. But now they are charging tax so they aren’t any better really. Sideshow does still price the statues $10 higher than on IS site for some reason, but I think I’ll pay that to get better service.

Got my Sentinel from IS yesterday. Only managed to unpack the one box containing the base and upper torso. Not sure if this is actually the case, but it is possible the delay is due to IS inspecting the pieces. I noticed on mine that the factory tape was sliced and that new IS tape was used over top of that. These are big boxes with a lot of pieces. Who knows. I'm not that upset over a couple of weeks of waiting. I ordered #2 and #3 from them as well. Saved $300 over buying through Sideshow on the price alone and another $210 in taxes. For $510 in savings, I'm okay waiting. Mine are already paid off too, so not a big deal when they ship.

if it means quality and inspection by them, I get it and like previously stated it’s just a bigger concern to me that it arrives in great shape. I am getting very anxious about it though as the longer it takes the more concerned I get on quality. Is it being repaired? Since they are sold out at IS does that mean if it’s damaged I am screwed? Makes the mind race as that’s a lot of money.

IS has terrible customer service in my experience. I stick with sideshow.

No but I still haven’t gotten number 1 shipped to me yet and I bought directly from IS Others on here are having same issue. Sideshow shipped a month ago or more.

Sideshow will have sentinel 2 first for sure. I think by end of May. They seem to still be on track.

I really like the new Scarlet Witch, however these have lost their luster for me with the current price. Mystique at $105 was a no Brainer. Scarlet Witch at $220, I would rather buy a $500 1/5.
