That's one of the reasons I only pre-order thru BBTS or ShowZ. No, or a very minimal amount of, money down and an easy cancelation process. I just don't see much upside to paying in advance, especially coming from the 3rd party TF market. These small production runs are low men on the factory totem pole and see all kinds of delays.

Still waiting on 2 figures, 3 have arrived (great figures - worth the wait.....yeah) - ordered from Boss Fight. I think last 2 maybe delayed due to new Tax rules (yep I'm a Uk collector). Boss Fight have said getting new tax code, something like 10 week delay. But at least they are bothering so two thumbs up for looking after customers (unlike another manufacture I sunk thousands into.....count to 10 & breath).
I'm drooling over next wave as well - just hope the manufacturing and shipping is all in place. I think the delivery of this 1st line is a great example of "how not to" & "things that can go wrong". And do we know he's going to actually follow through with a wave 2? I keep hearing after all the problems he had with this line, he's pretty much getting out of the toy production business. |

I heard that too a while back, but if he's seriously contemplating getting out of production then he wasted a lot of time and effort expanding the PGV line and creating the Two Worlds One War line.

I ordered my PGV girls through BFS and so far they shipped out two of the three. But they haven't said a peep about the last one, Virginie, and she's been slowly trickling out to people for near a month or two. Hopefully they're able to fulfill orders for her because I was hoping to have a nice trio of these girls at the very least. She's also the only one I ordered who comes with a an actual extra head for the blank I picked up, so it's almost as if I'm waiting on two PGV figures at this point.

According to the creator, a lot of retailers that offered pre-orders never paid him. I'm not sure where Diowarriors stands.

I'm glad I got in on the initial preorder, even though it took like 2 years to get all of the figures I ordered. Honestly, the last figure I received has the new eye paint apps with the glossy look. I don't really like it. To me, it looks like the figure is crying. With Marauder announcing new female figures coming next year(?), I'll just wait for any more female stuff.

Hard to believe, but BBTS just notified me that my PGV "Virginie" will be processing soon!

Same here. I still have another one I'm waiting on after that. I hope they get all of their other outstanding PGV pre-orders filled soon, too.

Any bets on whether Lin shows up in 2022 or 2023?
