Question 1st Pre-Order from GG - question

I just pre-ordered 2 items on the same order, 2 Sucker Punch statues. These will ship a few months apart. Even though they are on the same order, will they ship the first one right when it comes out, and the 2nd when it comes out? They won't be holding one to ship together will they? They only had me for one shipping charge, that's why I'm questioning it.

They will ship seperately, based on their estimated ship date.

They might have changed up how they handle shipping things with this new site, who knows. You'd be probably best asking them directly if they will hold something till the other item comes in. ALTHOUGH I doubt it....

yeah I realize that. I just didn't want to take any chances with an allocation and also it's worth paying a little extra for the peace of mind that I can easily get a replacement if I get a piece with defects/issues.

They will ship separately and I can almost guarantee you that.

Every summer, they put for sale some of their convention exclusives...even if you order more than one item on the same order, they will charge you shipping for each and they will probably arrive at your house the same day...but in different boxes.

That's one of the many things that GG just can't figure out....they'd probably sell a little more through their site if they combined shipping.

As for ordering from them directly or through a site like ambasah mentioned.....if you get your order in erly enough, you will be fine.....99% of the sites that sell GG products only take pre-orders for what they already know is coming.

GG used to be alot more popular and even during their glory days, I can only think of a handful of items that allocation occured.

And to add to all that, with GG's track record of striking after the iron is no longer hot.....these will probably come out a year or so after the movie. They did some Halo 3 mini busts and they came out about 1 1/2 year after the game came out. And they did some Star Wars Force Unleashed busts and they were also out over a year after the game was released.

I preordered all 3 for 25% of msrp and am very confident that my orders will be fullfilled.
