Yeah. It's the only option. Not only for me here in Oz, but for those in the States.
I find it very surprising that these details aren't available from their site. It is slowly sinking in, with your nurturing, that Enterbay are perhaps doing this to direct shipments to where they are most needed. You can see why International buyers would want to order from distributors, and that, because it is the normal procedure, why there is hesitation and uncertainty.
Any idea on how much a non refundable deposit might be, if they choose that route?
Also, do you know whether you have to register onto Enterbay's site, in order to be able to pre-order?
I have not gotten those details yet.
I will forward most of your posts directly to them, or I'll try to get the main Australian Distributor's emial address.
My preorder methods are:
you send in a deposit (10%) and you can cancel anytime 3 weeks before they release. Or something like that. And or course you send the rest 3 weeks before. release
Most Online Retailers:
YOu send in a non-refundable deposit like 10%-50% and you send in the rest when the item is "in stock"
Other Online Retailers: you pay around half and it's gauranteed or money back.
etc.etc.
I'm not really sure about others though.

We'll see what happens but I am waiting until I hear from Collectors, not dealers who suddenly appeared here because I don't know you and neither does anyone else
That's prejudice..... >.>
I';m not defending the price, and I making some supposable suggestions.
In my opinion, I have no problem with them since I'm a die-hard Bruce Lee fan, and I've made regular customs before and If I had constructed something like that, I'd suppose it should cost more.
Knowing the costs to manufacturing and such inside information will not put me in any better light and I'm sure you don't know that kind of information for any type of figure yet.
The numbers you gave out for the medicom and hot toys figures were rather guilded, since those aren't the numbers a regular person like ME can find when just browsing.
Thanks for being rude, I'll remember that.....
Solid Liquid Fox:
The face paint will be better than the prototype pics you saw there.
Those paint apps were done to minimal quality by JC Hong to not over-exaggerate the prototypes.
The price and the quantity run is intimidating so I wouldn't worry about a sell-out like you said. YOu could probably take your time and buy it whenever.
gruff old bear
To me that seems alot for one person, unless each painter does his bit and passes it onto the next for the next stage.
of course that's how it goes
, and I bet they'll have about 1500 done for the preorders and the rest will be done leisurely ...
I've seen quality paint jobs by both BBi and Hot Toys. Yet, they could be improved, but they weren't bad at all...The only parts I saw wrong were the eyes, since they added the white dots.
However, the eyes for Enterbay will be like inserting "glass eyes"
The information regarding the other versions should be on the site, I agree.
I think I should actually suggest that to Enterbay. But most of them are concept samples by Arnie and they don't want so much comparing I guess.

Enterbay is listening and i'm going to suggest them to add some more content regarding all this information ASAP.
