It'll be interesting for you to compare these two experiences once you get this in hand then.

I cancelled my preorder, I’m filtering my collection right down and don’t really have a place for him. Managed to get my nrd refunded though and they even gave me my points back I used on him so fair play for that.
Definitely looking forward to some in hand pics though

I think they refund the NRD once it's been delayed for a certain period of time, in that sense I sometimes like delays as they're like a get out of jail card

I've been tempted a few times to cancel this in favour of the 1/3 colonist maquette, or just to save for future Alien and Predators from them. But I'm going to try my best to keep this order locked in. Either way, I hope P1 nail this as it's sure to be impressive in person if they do.

Oh yes totally agreed Matt. Besides I guess it's not really fair for me to get disappointed anyways as I don't have this on order. About the Alien3 maquette, yep.
I'm gonna cave too and I know it.

Same here. I'm dropping all pieces I don't absolutely love or need to have. I'm hoping killer croc gets delayed again so I can get my nrd back on that.

He's a great piece but he just unfortunately doesn't make the cut.

I received an email today saying this is arriving EARLY...

It's now shipping on the 10th (tomorrow) for those who choose to take the early shipment. Has anybody else on here actually ordered this via Sideshow? I've left mine to ship on the 25th as I'm still in two minds whether to keep it (I'd like to) Or be sensible and shift my funds towards the $1600 I just dropped on the Prime 1 Dog Alien. It is in the back of my mind that a 1/3 Big chap and several Predators are on the way, all of wich will likely cost at least that much again! I am hoping to see pictures of this from some of you guys before the 25th. It may help me decide.

This was a REALLY difficult one for me to cancel I must have gone to cancel it four times before I actually went through with it. Every time I looked at the pictures again it made me reconsider. It’s such a great alien design and the price is a relative bargain.

Same here. Every time I go to cancel I change my mind. Great piece and only 150 being made. I think I'll be keeping it unless in hand pics are bad.
