Symbiote Statue?

The HighwayThe Highway
edited July 2010 in Sam & Max
I went to www.symbiotestudios.com, and apparently I have just purchased one of those Symbiote Statues that was for sale last December. It cost me $75 and $71.65 shipping, but apparently I bought it. Am I delusional, did the store just screw me over, or did I really buy one?

    Wow. $72 shipping.

    ...Jeez.

    But then, I find *any* piece of Sam & Max merchandise priceless, really, so if you're willing to pay that much--more power to you. Unless, that is, your parents paid for it. :rolleyes:

    Nope, I paid for it. But I really want to know if it is extinct and I got ripped off or not!

    Ohhh. Now I understand what you're asking. No, I don't think its limited run has been completely exhausted yet; you should definitely receive it within the next month. Where'd you hear it was "extinct"?

    Well, I naturally thought that 1000 pieces since December 2008 would be sold out by now if it's Sam & Max related!

    :p Nope. Not yet. But I'd guess they have no more than four-hundred remaining. Ballpark.

    one of the main reasons its not selling so fast is the shipping actually. :P

    As much as I would like to have such a statue. $75 + shipping is just plain daylight robbery. For that money I can build my own, print it and have it shipped to my location. Couldn't they make a non-collectors-edition which is made of plain old plastic?

    I wanna know how many will cost to me!

    I just really wanted one!

    And I don't think they would make a non collectors edition, because Steve likes most of his things to be limited run.

    And no one says that bad. Just pricey.

    Maybe you should talk to them about it.

    Yeah but if you want it shipping out of the US and Canada, its pretty much double the price. :/

    Yeah, indeed. Damn me accidentally clicking on United Kingdom instead of United States when I was choosing where I wanted to be born.

    I know! I ordered the Monkey Island statue too :rolleyes: I'm such a good investor!

    The thing is, I moved money into my PayPal account to pay for it, but it takes the money straight from my bank account, so I was able to use the AUD$200 or so in my PayPal account to buy some Homestar Runner stuff!

    Today is my happy day. No, wait. When all my lovely junk comes will be my happy day!

    I have that pre-ordered too, and I'm sad that they pushed the date back a month. :(

    They have a new deal. It's buy the monkey island statue and get sam and max statue for 50% off. Good deal.

    I got my Sam & Max statue yesterday, so that's pretty good!

    Unfortunately, mum won't let me have it for like, a month, because she can't believe how much I spent on it. :(

    I've got my Sam and Max one assembled on my desk, but I'm sad that they keep delaying the Monkey Island one even further :(

    I WOULD order one... but $78.50 - USPS - Priority Mail International, sorta puts me off. I mean OUCH!

    How can they justify that? It's just plain ridiculous! They can't be that heavy!

    So yeah, i'll need to find a US person I can trust heh. Or just live with not having a sam and max statue. Unless some awesome person were to put one on Ebay heh.

    Priority Mail® International
    Max. length 42", Max length plus girth combined 79"
    6 - 10 Days $52.75 $50.11

    thats international on 8 lbs and the box..

    not 78!

    dont know how it could cost that from symbiote.. if it does they are ripping you off. check yourself :P

    im looking into selling my statues, ill go as low as 50 usd for a MI statue, since symbiote wont cooperate and sent me a second one instead of a refund, and I dont want to drag it into small claims.

    so if you want to save 50 usd.. well..

    I got it on Lucasarts' site as they had a promotion going on where if you spent a certain amount you got a free Star Wars t-shirt, plus Symbiote didn't even put them up for sale until much much later on.

    I've been trying to order it but it won't let it be sent the the UK? Contacted them anyway about it. Anyone know how much it is to the UK?
