We wanted to take this opportunity to e-mail you about your Wait List Reservation for the Iron Man Mk VI Maquette (item#4000411). At this time, we have no cancellations but we do have some distressed pieces that we have held back specifically to offer to our waitlist customers that have medium box damage and paint chips, or minor light/missing paint spots, which are located in different parts of the piece. If you are the type of collector that is not concerned with a minor flaw on the product, then we may be able to assist you in acquiring this item for your collection at a discount.
Since this item would be considered to be imperfect, it is available to purchase on a first come, first serve basis. The item is being offered anywhere from $425.00-$450.00, which is 10-15% off from the original retail price of $499.99 (Coupons or gift cards not applicable for use with this offer). Any of these imperfect items purchased will be considered non-returnable for box damage and paint flaws. We will of course allow returns if the actual product inside is discovered to be damaged in any other way than what we have listed. This is not available through our site
