I’m gonna start calling Prime1 Studios “Backorder Studios”.

Yes, statue delays in general are sort of dampening my love of the hobby.

Yep. For this statue in particular, 988 days and counting since first revealed.

I think you have to put it out of mind or the wait becomes stressful.

When the hobby's primary activities are giving interest-free money to producers and waiting, long enough for them to make good on your investment, before finally getting a shipping notification, it is no wonder it sucks.
I visualize that with any new preorder being 1 year out, it won't exist until a year to 1.5 in practice. Of course, it often becomes 2-2.5 years. The question is whether you're willing to continue leveraging yourself into far out preorders, versus scooping whatever's in stock and coming soon. A lot can also change in one's personal circumstances and tastes in two years.
I think Harley beat Ciri for longest production time, no?

If the waiting time is too long for me, I simply cancel the pre-order.
There are always such great statues on the market that I am no longer interested in the statue that I ordered. Wanting to have is simply gone over time.

Unless its Sideshow here in the US I believe you loose the NRD. I for one have had it loosing NRD's. IMHO The company should commit to a timeline and after that be compelled to refund the NRD. My solution is I try to pre-order as little as possible but that doesn't always work out.

I only buy in German shops and have never had to make an advance payment before. At least not in the shops where I order.
And if the delivery is delayed several times then that is a reason for me to cancel the order. I've never had a problem with that before.

Besides SSC rehashes, the only guarantee in statue collecting these days is a delay on Prime 1 pieces.
