You can email F4F and they'll give you a tracking number. Also if you sign up for FedEx delivery manager they'll email you the tracking number the day F4F ships it.

I would but I remember the last time I asked and got one it said the shipper had requested that I don't have the option to redirect it too :P Worth trying again though I guess.

Got my shipping notice this morning. I expect it'll be cutting it close to get her by Christmas. Oh well, just happy to get one.

I emailed them back to get the tracking number so I can make sure I'm around. I also really wish F4F/GH would figure out how to include that info ahead of time.

So, I finally received my statue yesterday after a very long wait. Unfortunately it's a lemon. Mine has:

1. Paint chips
2. Dripping resin
3. A broken arm canon led light
4. Two paint spots on the base
5. Paint on the inside of the helmet that shows through when the leds are turned on.

Normally I would be okay with something like a spot of paint on the base, but there are far too many issues with this one.

Other than that, the statue does have a lot of presence. I hope my eventual replacement isn't plagued with issues.

Sorry to see that, Lionheart.

With so many issues, I imagine you'll have no problem getting a replacement. Hope they get it sorted out for you quickly.

Mine doesn't have the paint issues above although I haven't looked at it super close. Overall it's a gorgeous 1/4 scale representation of Samus which we don't have a lot of in the market. And it lights up which is a bonus.

There are definitely QC issues with this piece however. On mine the left foot had a lot of thick resin flash that prevented it from seating all the way down. Because of this I was unable to make contact with the electrode in the base and the statue wouldn't light up. I had to dremel the excess resin down so it would seat down enough to make the connection.

Not a lot of work but annoying that the factory didn't even bother to check things like that . . .

Hope mine comes perfect >< and I really hope they continue with more 1/4 suits. Very disappointed if they don't ><

They said they are making the Varia Suit. They sold 1,000 ex of a variant suit so I think it was a success for them. The 1/4 Ganondorf didn't sell that fast.

Cause the price was huge and the way they chose the ES was stupid :|

And of course it'll sell ;p Doesn't meant they'll do it though

They'll do so many obscure suits/versions until they get to what most people want lol. Varia suit ftw!
