Prime 1 Studio BLOODBORNE

I have no idea. I don't think so. This year they just tell you through Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter.

they should have posted it in the email newsletter. I check those all the time and that Hunter wasn't in there. It's too bad, it would have really solved some of my issues with trying to get these bloodborne ones.

I think I need a little advice here. So I did talk to Sideshow about the broken Eileen, and unfortunately as expected, they can't replace the part because they don't have the stock. I can either get the full refund or get $120 credit. the good news, is that other than that right wing, which was a pretty big break, and a few broken feathers on that same part, the rest of the statue appears to be in pristine shape.

When I first saw the break, I was determined to just send it back, but now that I've set it up and have had it sitting there, I'm starting to get attached to it and am starting to wonder if I should just glue all the damaged parts and keep the thing. I'll be honest though, I don't know if I'm thinking rationally at this point, and just wanted to hear some people's thoughts if they were in the same boat and what they would do should the choice were reversed. I mean, with tax and shipping from Sideshow it was a total price of $930. (I did use $200 points, but I will get those back anyways) Buying from Prime 1 directly is still a possibility, but I would have to spend about $1050 - $1100 to probably get it, as that's what The Hunter was for me to get on the waitlist. I do worry about this piece, being mailed from Prime 1 though, as it says 1-3 months to arrive. This damn thing didn't even make it 3 days in the mail from Sideshow, how the hell is it going to make it 1-3 months from Japan?

Thing is though, I've never returned a statue before. I knew putting it together may have been a bad idea, as it would just make me potentially want to keep it. I have a bad habit of getting attached to things.

You can always take the credit and pay a customizer to repair the damage back to perfect shape. The 120 would probably cover that.

Depends on how you handle your collection though. It will impact resale value, but if you don't care about that and care more about the item/it being in your collection, that shouldn't matter.

Well, not going to lie. I didn't think about a customizer. This is actually a screenshot with all the breaks. You still think $120 would cover that? I do know as a backup that I could glue them myself as I checked and they all did fit into place. I did like the idea of a professional doing it though. It's too bad, sideshow doesn't have a service where they take the part and do that for you.

This would sell. Lots of pent-up demand. Has my attention...

It has been years, but I will still get her day one to go with Eileen and Maria

I hope that you are right and this is for The Doll. Be very disappointed if it’s not.
