It is definitely a catch-22. I've got my initial Gandalf figure wearing the hat so the Crown will go hatless.

Perhaps when the new Gandalf the White comes out I can have that one to show off the sculpt and then this version I can finally cover up with the hat.

Anyone who preordered from Asmus directly in Feb of this year, hear anything for an invoice?

Beautiful. Have you done something to the eyes? I like the result anyway.

Thanks guys, I added wool eyebrows and enhanced the mustache like a few others have done...
but the only thing I did with the actual eyes is moved them off to the right (allows more of the white to show).

I see this is $20 less than everywhere else at BBTS. I don?t really collect this line, but Gandalf wouldn?t be a bad figure to have to represent the films as a whole.

The BBTS batch has an issue with the staff and pipe, I'd avoid for the time being.

Some people have gotten the same issue with the staff from Asmus last I checked, as well as from Time walker. I don't think it's BBTS alone.

Yeah plus, at $20 less and with the potential to avoid crazy shipping fees if you're international, definitely still go with BBTS.
The staff and pipe issue is overblown anyways; I don't even recall it ever even being advertised that the pipe could fit into the staff. I just viewed it as a nice little bonus feature that was added and then for whatever reason during production they stopped doing it. You are still getting the staff and you are still getting the pipe either way.

What was the issue supposed to be with the staff and pipe? I don’t really follow this line much at all so I don’t really know.

Some people were reporting that they did not get pipe in their box and the their staff is missing the hole where the pipe can be placed.

Can confirm. Just got mine from BBTS and the pipe is nowhere in the box.
Edit: the pipe was in a sealed bag inside the BBTS shipping box. Lucky I checked before I threw it in the bin.

So I see Sideshow have now sent out notifications of shipping soon for Gandalf.
Yet here I am still sat over here as a Day1 order with Asmus direct and not even an invoice.
