The pcs ryu po was so frustrating. But it was hacked so can't blame pcs. It was a massive snafu.
I don't live there CBG...I was joking about that. I'm a good ole American Heavy D looking (God rest his soul) brother living in the Pacific Northwest in laid back Vancouver, WA.

Thanks.

The GR po was an odd creature. I figured it would have had more available since the retailers were excluded. I've never seen anyone mention getting an oversold email from XM before and they have had statues sell out almost as fast like their Batman. It's been a sucky stretch for me missed on GR and Evil Ryu

Good thing in this hobby is....there is always more great stuff to come. You might be happy you missed out on both.

Understand something....this is an XM EXCLUSIVE. XM probably pre-sold the majority of their 999 to PRESTIGE members long before it went up for official PO.

For the few of you who are butthurt...question? How many XM statues do you own? Have you registered them? Have you bought any XM statues as of yet? Because if no to any of those questions....I don't see how anyone can be butthurt that you put in an order only to days later be told you are on waitlist because their sold out.

This is a high commodity and highly wanted statue. Chances are, XM did early POs for prestige members and probably only had 50 - 75 left. That does not leave much in the way of extra product. Also, just to give you an idea of how fast product goes....at STGCC last year, XM sold all their 300 PO very quickly. There were people waiting in line that could not get one because it went so fast. Now imagine how fast 50 - 75 (just an estimate but may be more) can go in less than 10 seconds. I guarantee you it only took about 5 seconds to go through that. I am not exaggerating either!

Batman sold out in 3 minutes! THREE!!!!!! That was for an edition of 999. With this being an exclusive, I am not surprised. Here is a direct XM response to PO of Ghost Rider!

XM Studios Premium Collectibles Sending a po form does not guarantee you a piece of the statue. We allocate po by order of time. We received 300 po forms over one and a half minute. We will then go through all the forms, take out those that is not within our selling zone. Take out those with multiple order , take out those with incomplete address. After which we will allocate the on line po stock by the order of time. Your order form was not within the allocation stocks as such you are put on waiting list. We want every collectors to own a piece of our statues they po but it not possible due to the low ES. Hope that there are cancellations and you might have a chance of getting a piece.

Look Lorics, like said previously when i have introduced myself on this forum, i collect only Xm statue, have already 2 sinds last year registered on the official website, i m member, waiting Dc Strange and have others futur PO as well in mind.
You are, of course, correct, it s only a statue and bless God , i m smart enough to know it.
If i have had your ability to get Xm statue, here for Ghostrider, i would maybe pretty fine, but for me and maybe others, it is not an easy way and i don t blame that, it is like that.
So, i prepared myself to PO that guy on the official website because of was only available events and official website, you know. they blocked 200>300 for last event, 100 or little more for prestige members and the rest for official website, maybe 500>600 pieces so.
So the big day , i took 10''sec!! only not 1 min ,it would impossible for me,i know, only 10'' sec and fully completed , submited and sended my order, and you know, waiting 10days after that telling you, sorry, you are waitlist, unless someone cancel, maybe you Will have chance, and we know obviously All, that, this kind of piece , no one cancel it...

So today, my most anticipated statue gave me a punch and this story will end tomorrow blessing God for living, breathing, eating, and so.

it was just the day to know if i get it or not and now, i m already peacefull even if will not get it.hope you have understand this simply.

Once again, we think alike!

I miss out on plenty of stuff, but there is always more stuff. Always. In fact, there is almost too much cool stuff!

Don't know how you all do it. If I miss out I must find a way to get it. I don't mind paying more if it's a collectible with a good Es. I paid aftermarket for many pieces but the only one I can't just pull the trigger on yet is wolf lsf for 5k. Can't see myself needing this that bad now with a new maquette coming and the p2 which looks great. If the lsf was the only one ever being made sure why not for 5k. But not when more is coming.

Well we aren't all international men of mystery like you CBG. I'm just a dude who works in insurance, so if I miss out on one, that's life. I know you call in the heavies and black helicopters and ride t-rex's with lasers for eyes to obtain statues from those who claimed them before you.
