It took about 8 months longer to receive my predator than others in the US when I ordered through SC.
I always got a quick reply when asking about delivery updates, but I was told "next month" for about 4 months straight, and then "2 more weeks" for 2 months straight lol.
So if you are ok with that wait I would say they are a safe bet.
I'm likely not going to go through them again unless they have a great deal because of the wait and false hope of "1 more month" for months on end. That really was a killer. My friend ordered P1 Ripley from SC and has had the same experience.

Oddly mine never came with the extra pack of quills. I was ok at first because my mind was absolutely blown away by the statue lol.
But over time, am thinking those extra quills could have come in handy!

I'm thinking about pre-rdering a Prime 1 statue from them, but it doesn't appear it'll arrive until sometime later this year. I went through this thread and read some of the replies from people that ordered through SC. It was a bit hit or miss.
Some people seemed to have longer wait times than others. Sounds like it was supposed to arrive for customers around the Fall of 2023, but some didn't get their statues till around Christmas, and others were waiting past January (I don't recall if they did or didn't receive their statue).
Anyway, just curious to know what others felt about SC.

They are great if you are patient. Getting the statue and any parts if needed can be an excruciating wait. It used to be a nice savings where it was well worth it, but now that he isn't offering free shipping it ends up costing close to the same as direct anyway and you wait an average of a year longer than others.

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

Well damn, that figures. That's not the 1st time Prime 1 forgot to pack accessories. They forgot my medkit with the bust. Crap happens I guess. At least you didn't need them to fix one's broken off.

so i've got a small jbl go 2 speaker that fits perfectly behind the tree out of sight... so i mixed up a couple sound bytes to add some dramatic effect to the statue! one for the masked and one for the unmasked. when i turn the setup on, i have it set to fire up when the lights come on! pretty good for an unsuspecting fool walking into the room! lol
did a couple close ups of the custom mac skull, hopper tags and mac's flask in the video for those wanting to see them on the statue.
