The other reason to NOT sit on the fence! Gaming Heads needs to know that this line will sell well, forum jibba jabba excitement is all good, but money is the lifeblood of the system!!! Sideshow had their chance and they royally f'd it up, probably to the point where those a-holes will interpret the bad sales as a lack of interest in the line rather than any poor judgement on their part.

Regardless, it looks like GH is doing this right! So by supporting we prove to them (and SS) that there is massive interest and its worth them pumping out more characters. Who knows, if GH is successful, it might be the wake up call that SS needs to reevaluate their stance on Mass Effect (a bit like the battle between GG and SS over Marvel)......competition is never bad.

You definitely make a lot of good points. And it's also really important to point out for people who don't already know, that Gaming Heads DO NOT charge non-refundable deposits on their items. So if it comes to shipping time, you can cancel with no penalty. But ordering now means you are guaranteed not to miss out. Win-win IMO.

Also, I noticed that the reg was listed as 'Sold Out' on the official Bioware store already. I wonder how many they were allocated that they sold out so quickly? They were either very popular, or they didn't have that many to offer.

Seriously though, they do need a web overhaul, and quite badly.

On the upside, for us international peeps, their quoted shipping costs are very reasonable.

Agreed, their website needs an overhaul. And I wish they would start putting out a bi-weekly newsletter or something with general info, teasers, competitions, etc. At the moment you only get a newsletter when something new is already up for order. I guess they are still new and sorting a lot of this stuff out. As you mentioned though, their shipping is very reasonable for us international customers.

You guys have definitely peaked my interest even more with this no money down ( or refundable deposit or whatever you want to call it) and pay when it ships talk.

Oh yeah, this guy is that cool? I do really like the look of this guy. Well Yac we seem to agree on most things cartoon related, I dont play video games as much as I'd like nowadays, so eventually I'll have to check this series out. As for this statue, I think I'm going to order it as soon as I get the funds intact. Did you PO this yet?

it's a great set of games they really give you the time and the opportunity to really get a connection with the characters you meet, Garrus for me was the best of the bunch when all was said and done he genuinely felt like Sheppard's best friend in the whole damn universe which is a connection i can't say I've ever really gotten from another set of video game characters...... Plus he's a badass sniper space bug so ya know he's also got that going for him

As for ordering sadly not, I know I say this so much it's probably lost all meaning but I am so broke. the stuff I have on preorder is probably going to be the only big stuff I buy for quite awhile, so i'm hoping Garrus stays available for a bit longer.

Gaming Heads just announced on Facebook that they've received approval for their next statue in the Mass Effect line. They didn't mention what it is, so let the speculation begin!

I wouldn't be surprised if it's Tali, since they already mentioned her and she'd be a great companion piece for Garrus.

Whatever you have on order.....unless it's StarCraft...... Just drop it......OK, Elder Scrolls is also cool.......but other than those two......just drop em' and get into the Mass Effect groove.

[Luminous]

I agree. You clearly need Garrus in your collection.

haha, problem is the stuff I have on order has already been paid for (PCS stuff so ya know, awhile ago ). so even if I canceled I wouldn't be saving any money on them. i'm just hoping work picks up or I win the lotto before he sells out

Nothing to do with Mass Effect, unfortunately. It's another Kratos statue that is being revealed.
