Hi - where did you order from, and what numer have you got?
Interesting to see that CM are now officially listing this as "limited stock" - would be good to know what sort of numbers they are up to.

I had the same problem. Just lift him up and re-seat him a few times.....Sometimes you have to find that "sweet spot".

I got number 260. I ordered directly from Cinemaquette's website on April 4th. I thought I would have to wait 4 months since that is what my status read. Luckily it came pretty quickly in about a month. I guess the light up feature has sweet spot for sure, glad I found it for the time being.

My guess is somewhere around 400-500pcs.

Hey THX,
Are you familiar with members who have higher numbers?Say...300+ or even 400+?

It would be great if people with high numbers let us know so we could have a proper idea how many pieces there are...

It is prety hit and miss. Anyone else have similar problems with theirs. I contacted Cinemaquette only to get no reponse as of yet.

Had exactly the same problem with mine, and seeing as CM aren't the fastest in customer services I was a bit worried. However I found that the battery cover didn't close fully as some of the rubber coating on the base slightly blocked it. I removed the statue and carefully cleaned up the battery area and reseated the batteries and its worked fine since. Of course it may have been the reseating that fixed it. Some may argue that for this price you shouldn't have to do anything to it, but after all the trouble getting hold of the thing in the first place, I wasn't about to have a hissy fit and demand a new one without at least having a go at solving it myself.

On the outer card board box it states my edition number 260 of 500. On the certificate of authenticity it states out of 1000. Maybe Cinemaquette decided to cut this piece short for some reason. I would be interseted to know what numbers people have. I don't think that there could be somewhere over 500 pieces still in production and waiting to fulfill someones order. But who knows with Cinemaquette. I mean hasn't this piece been out for a couple of years and if he 1000 in its edition didn't sell by now I could see them limiting the amount made, Who knows?

I have had mine for just over two years and have number 150. Some people say these are not released sequentially, but I would say they are. It seems reasonable to assume that the final amount out there will be around 300 pieces. I received a new ALien recently and that is number 234.
I am not aware of anyone having an Aragorn over 100 yet. Ditto Jack.
My T850 is number 263, but I have had that for almost a year.
Will have to check my TX.
