Ordered the ultimate version from Sideshow although I probably would of preferred Big Bad Toy Store since that's where I ordered the Batman Forever ones and Returns Catwoman and they double box. Looks like the standard version is already waitlisted on Sideshow. Hours after I ordered from Sideshow I got an email from Prime 1 saying my waitlist could convert.
Prime 1 and Secret Compass both have it listed for $2,799.00 but Sideshow has it listed for $2,995! Hopefully shipping with that $194 difference still out ways shipping from China. I did have $45 in rewards points to use and had 2 items ship from Sideshow today but wasn't sure if I could wait another month for those point to be added to my account.
Does anyone know if the ultimate version will come in 4 boxes (2 separate figures,2 bases) or 2? Prime 1 has estimated arrival May-Aug 2024, Sideshow has July-Dec. Let the wait begin.
It would be nice if we also got a Returns and Clooney Batman but not holding my breath.

Sideshow suddenly listed the statue for sale about a week after My Wait List converted at Prime 1 and I paid the NRD.
Driven by FOMO, I paid my deposit at Prime 1 because like you said, this statue had been "sold out" for several months. But now I'm dreading how much shipping and customs will be. Would of preferred Secret Compass (no sales tax besides CO).
Usually BBTS bakes in shipping to their price so it's not truly $4 "flat" shipping.
Prime 1 statues typically have multiple boxes so I would not be surprised if it came in 4 boxes. Very annoying try to store all their boxes in my basement.
Not an apples to apples comparison since JND statues are usually less complex than Prime 1 but I like the fact JND keeps it to one box and they're more compact.
