I agreed my friend. But this is just one of those very tiny risks that we must take in life.

If all comes out as we expected. This is a small price to pay for the quality and scale.

Just think about CM's attempt and its price.

There is no doubt it is an amazing interpretation of Bruce Lee in statue form with outstanding detail but right now all we see is a prototype and have no real guarantee the final product will look this good. All of Blizway's previous work is 1/6 scale figures.

Setting all the other points that I mentioned earlier aside, I am not willing to risk ordering this piece from somewhere that won't allow me to return it if I don't like the final product. Not at this price but that's just me.

I'll wait on bbts.
Yeah I expected to be that. Courier companies charge a fortune to ship things, even little things.

Too risky to me for something sight unseen and from a company that has no track record on pieces in this scale.

If I can't get it from BBTS or another US etailer at a reasonable price (i.e no more then retail), I'll be forced to pass.
im in the same boat as you. no way im paying upfront and that amount for shipping.
if it was from the fists of fury film then i might have gone thru with it. but then again the shipping may have changed my mind.
if this is at a US retailer then i may pick this up. supposed to be able to get the exclusive version from brucelee.com but cant see where they are offering it.

Brucelee.com is a US seller so the gold version is the route to go if you don't want to pay high shipping cost, assuming you live in the US. I just want the regular version and have no interest in spending more for the exclusive version.

Indiana Jones German trooper PF? That's a new one to me
