The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

Let me guess. Can't fulfill it because they want to resell the statue for a higher price than what was originally told?

Sorry to hear that. If you put down a deposit, then you should be able to get the statue because you've locked in the order with a confirmation. What's the excuse that they're giving you about not fulfilling their end of the bargain?
Ghost Rider is so kicka$$ that I wouldn't be surprised if many middlemen all of a sudden can't fulfill their promise. If there's a quick buck to be made, don't underestimate people's greed. it's a shame that you put the money down and now you don't have a statue, and it's not like you can just get one for retail now.

Ding ding ding. I don't want to call people liars, but some of those middlemen are shady as hell. They all of a sudden can't deliver a hot statue that you've locked in with a deposit that they can sell for twice the money? I bet the middlemen can find you one if you tell them you're desperate to pay more money for it.

The get the po someone had to go stand in line and get the po in person at an XM event. in their email to me they were blaming a supplier being cut which does not add up. There was no allocation to cut and no retailers had GR as it was event exclusive. IMO either the person that actually got the po decided to keep it and cash in or they are. Here is part of the email I got today:

" We regret to inform you that we will not be able to fulfill your pre-order of the following product: XM Ghost Rider

A full refund of the deposit will be accorded back to you via Paypal.

Due to an unfortunately incident, our pre-order quantity have been reduced. After much consideration from the team, we have concluded that we are unable to allocate the product to you. We hope to be able to handle this situation as professional as possible. We do understand the frustration and disappointment you might be going through and we will be try our best to explain the situation to you and assisting you in anyway possible.

To cater to our large pool of SkyRunner members, we have to pre-order through multiple retailers & different channels in order to meet the demands. In this particular situation, one of our supplier had shut down causing some of our pre-orders to be written off. Despite multiple attempts to contact them, it was to no avail. Products affected by this are XM Ghost Rider & XM Batman. This has caused our receiving quantity to be drastically reduced. "

Yup, sounds like the person who PO'd wanted a bigger pay day after they saw how much GR started to go for.

Wanderlai I feel for you man and if there was anything I could do for you I would! That shiit just isn't right! We have one coming but that worries me about some of us for future Xm products and those wanting a cut of the money some of these are going for! Sad times really but I'll keep an eye out and ask my friend if he knows of something out there, I'll keep eye out keep your head up !

Peace

What happen to Wanderlai is going to be rather standard for popular XM statues going forward... I was lucky that I got both Batman and Ghostrider from my main contact even though he had to cancel my Venom order due to them not getting as many as they thought they would from XM Studios...

At least in Wanderlai case he got a refund, Mark screwed me out of 3 pre-order deposits on Thor, Phoenix & Wolverine.... Never got the statues never got a refund, hell I didn't even get a response back from all the emails I sent him. Can't believe almost 3 years have past since then...

It's the risk you take when you buy outside a licensed area.
