More than one person will get the notification that 1 has become available. First to complete checkout gets the conversion.
When did they start doing this? Do you still happen to have the email? If so, can you copy the text into here or point me to where I can read it in another thread?

First heard of this new policy in the Psylocke PF thread. A couple of people reported receiving notification that their waitlist conversion was available. However, by the time they attempted to claim it someone else had beat them to the punch. It was no longer available. One reached out to SS and a rep confirmed the new policy. According to them it's been in effect for about a month or so.

Definitely all in on this piece despite the price. Looks absolutely stunning, absolutely loved Ventress in Clone Wars and ...
just the thought of at one point in the future being able to be pairing this up with a smiliarly gorgeous statue blows my fanboy mind. Make it happen, SS!
Ahsoka Tano needs to be done by the same team as the Ventress sculpt...

I didn’t know this and still mad my conversion was useless and missed on a print I wanted.

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

I think this piece will do really well with all the hype for it. I also think she will go for a lot when she sells out. I got mine!

Got my pre-order in. I'd rather Ahsoka but Ventress has always been a favorite of mine too.

I won't be getting this but IMO it rivals the recent SS Wonder Woman PF. It may even be better.

I've let Sideshow bend me over a table with these prices too much recently. At this point, I aim to hold onto the little bit of sanity/dignity I have left. I thought $430 was too much for Lilith after the discount, but now I see it's a bargain. I honestly cant believe in the acceptance of this price range. I feel like Sideshow staff are in the breakroom placing bets on how much we are willing to pay for these hunks of resin.

a lot of old-time collectors (myself included) see the price and balk. We have historically pre-ordered multiple statues each and every year...but to do so today...is foolish. Like everything else, this will be had for less than retail in due time.

I think SS is catering to a new breed of collector who doesn't buy as much and therefore doesn't mind taking a loss to have it now. I will patiently wait : )
