I am in Europe and I have a friend who orders stuff and he managed to talk to the distributor about the problems and showed evidence so they cancelled the order.

I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

Considering the high price of this statue I thought collectors would expect nothing than close to perfection...

Well it looks like Prime1 can get away with things sadly because of that jkno4u. The overall statue still looks good but for this price I don't want a lean, I don't want bad looking teeth. Epecially because they did that right on the prototype. Also another annoying thing is the mising cables and stuff on the forearms and on the hands. If somebody is happy with this than good for them. But to me it is not acceptable.

Got mines yesterday. Happy to finally have it and glad there wasn't any defects or damages. I was worried about some of the parts not fitting smoothly (like some others have experienced), but no issues. The lean is okay. Definitely more than the original prototype, but not severe enough for any serious concerns. I've posted a couple of pics on the Sideshow forum:

This showed up on Facebook today. The collector is happy, all the while acknowledging it leans more than the proto.
One thing that caught my eye, the position of the T-800 portrait. Shouldn't it be looking forwards/upwards, not down at the floor?

That lean is obviously way more than the lean on the prototype. I'd send that one back immediately.

I really wanted to get this, but I just keep seeing picture after picture of the damn thing looking like it's going to topple over.

I'm glad some people seem to be happy, but looking at that picture, I wouldn't be.

I wouldn't be either. It would make more sense leaning over, looking forward. Looking down at the ground looks odd.

I feel so good that I cancelled mine. This looks terrible. It is funny how people can convince themselves that it is alright. I guess they want this so bad.
