$595. I think it was close to that originally. Maybe a bit less but I canāt remember.
I think you have to stay up all night refreshing the search. I actually have set alarms for midnight after the first drop and then 4.00am after subsequent drops to check for any availability. Now a 7.00am drop! Yep, you need to pull an all nighter for sure in the hopes of securing one.
I would have preferred a lottery for the interested freaks on the board, particularly as we know these would be for our collection and not to flip for profit. Still, I guess we should applaud Kit for charging the original price rather than gouging. Thanks Kit.

IIRC, the preorder price was $515, so an $80 "why didn't you preorder" tax is much, much nicer than the eBay upcharge. This is why Kit has such loyal customers!

Mine arrived today. Took ten days. Not the end of the world, just reporting back as requested.
Nice. The first drop was at like 3am for me. If I didnāt have one already id be screwed.

Ah I couldnāt remember for sure. Either way better than eBay/secondary market prices.
Man, I hate how Spec does their procurement. Whenād you order if you donāt mind me asking?

Just a little freaky
I got mine from Kit a few days ago. Arrived super fast lol Finally started opening it up and a lot of stuff fell out of its placement, ie a hand, a boot, etc. The left wrist magnet was stuck in the hand that fell off during shipping. I got the magnet back into the wrist but the magnet in the hand seemed to be glued down but not pushed in far enough so it wont even attach to the wrist.
I think my stuff has warped somehow because I also cant get the light lamp into the crystal, and I can't get the dang head to budge in any way on the tube base. Anyone got a tip for this? Considering the hair I'm nervous about heating anything up.
EDIT: I just got a good grip with two fingers on the side of his head and slightly put pressure in different directions over and over for a few minutes and then it finally turned with an audible snap (and no breakage besides my fingers being slightly sticky from the hair product).

Thatās interesting Iāve got almost exactly the same issues as you. I got the head out with a considerable amount of force but yeah I didnāt heat it up.

Still waiting on mine. Joker took like 3 days max via DHL, this has taken a week and a half to even arrive in Texas (probably expecting it Monday or Tuesday)
Shouldāve asked beforehand.. it was well documented that you need to twist it clock-wise. It also mentions it in the manual..
And yeah, my far LED lightbulb also doesnāt really fit in the gemstone and I donāt want to take my chances by forcibly getting it in there.
Dayum. So itās confirmed. Spec literally waits until they get all of their allotment at the end before shipping out. Ridiculous.
Kit on the other hand, ships out as the batches come out. Shouldnāt have gone with Spec for Phoenix Joker.
Anyway.. some more pics I took of GtG today. Truly wonderful.
I removed the cloak, sword belt and scabbard to have him how he looks like during certain scenes at the beginning of Fellowship. During these select scenes, he shouldnāt have the sleeves around his hands, but for the life of me, I cannot remove it on his left hand now
without potentially tearing it up. If thereās one thing about this set that is annoying me is that. INART needed to make them longerā¦.

Huh, the sleeved hand look isn't consistent across the film? TIL. I'll have to watch closely when I revisit it and start posing. I may or may not already be fantasizing about how I want to display him...
