Strange they not answering Emails, and Im sure they will ship to USA even if they are coming from Germany.

Ahh, I guess I didn't get that offer because I bought all the statues a few years back during their Black Friday sale.

I have these Painted one's from last year.
I believe they sent me a newsletter for these cause I had bought their Hellboy statue's in the past.
I kept Boomer in my house and the others I put in my storage shelter.
I never bought any of their past Gears stuff before & normally I'd have no interest in Gears at all but the painted one's in the photos looked really good.
Plus there were ONLY 25 of each, so that is pretty rare!
After I bought them all, Mindzeye even gave me a Card with a Glass Disc on it for me to buy any of their statue for $50.00 on their website too!
The Painted statue's are VERY detailed. Lots of shading. The Base is Hand Numbered and I believe the Box is even an Exclusive as none of the past statue's were ever painted and the Box shows them painted on it.
I have no idea what the European Versions will be in contrast to these US one's though? A different colored paint job?

Does your base have the red Skull on?

Ok just got a response... Not what I was hoping for, but an well...

Hi Jonathan,

Thanks for your interest in our GOW Legends Edition!

Unfortunately, that edition is sold out in the US. The "coming soon"
version is only available to European customers by one of our German
distributors.

But we are in the process of offering another variant version that will be
very similar to the Legends edition...only better.

When we have additional information, we will be sure to let you know.

Thanks!

Hey thanks for that mate, really appreciate it, so we in the UK will be getting a painted one then

And there's another variant coming, thats better great!

Just looked, I also got an email, seems they are upgrading their offices.

A fellow boardie received this reply

Currently we're considering another version of the painted Gears of War
statues - similar to the Legends edition, which sold out in record time.
The timeframe for this version to hit the market is roughly May/June. The
colors and look will be very much like the Legends version, but with a few
differences. For instance, we think Marcus would love to have his gold
plated lancer equipped.

We will let you know when the new versions become available. With the buzz
these versions are already getting, we're guessing they will sell out very
quickly.

Dang it... I hate those darn weapon variants. I like the original weapons. Soldiers ain't running around with no darn gold plated weapons...

Which means I'll be passing...

Simple truth is they probably still have so many of the solid colored pieces and now have decided to repaint them all. When they tested out the Legend set at 25 each, of course they were gonna sell out fast. Now they wanna do it again but they have to make slight changes or you kill the value of the First Legend series. Now though, just how many slight variances can you do???

What they need to do is sculpt some more statues and stop messing around with the same 3 they've had for like the past 6 years...

Cole Train, Baird, Anya, Carmine, General Raam, The Locust Queen... These statues are waiting to be made! The hype surrounding Gears has pasted though. Makes one wonder if they'd actually sale....
