Luckily, at least in their case, I haven’t been charged yet. So until something the money is taken I’m pretty resigned to whenever it’s ready. But yeah, they informed me months ago I was in the front of the line in November. I asked at the beginning of November when payment would take place (that’s a big chunk o change) and they said very late November, specifically the 27th, was the anticipated ship and payment date. So I’d keep my eyes peeled on my email tomorrow and hopefully something transpires.

If I don't hear something next week I'm gonna get annoyed. If it wasn't an $850 purchase it wouldn't bother me so much.

Yep, Godzilla Store canceled my order. If I can track down either form 3, that price is gonna be a bitch.

Well turns out the company I ordered my Shin from is notorious for super sluggish delivery and questionable customer service. I ordered from them twice before and this is the first time I had any major problems. I got my Xplus Battra larva and Neca 54 Godzilla from them with no hassle whatsoever. So from the sound of things who knows when my Shin might ship. That said I have seen only a tiny handful of pics of the Gigantic Shin in-hand. So it seems a lot of people have not gotten theirs yet for some reason.

A tiny part of me smiles at all the people in the US that ordered Gigantic Shin. Because duty-free limit is $800. Finally they get to experience the pain I feel. :twisted:

Super jealous though. I still can't afford Gigantic Shin. Really want it.

Standard. I liked the sculpt of the ric but the colors didn’t quite do it for me, plus when I ordered it sounded like the ric was going to be infinitely more difficult to get.

Side note I didn’t realize it was arriving via FedEx. I don’t have my usual 30 day SAL wait. :D

I’m actually pretty curious where these guys are gonna end up in the US since they are so high priced I have a feeling you could count them on your hands. Mines gonna be in Sweet Home Alabama and i know rich has one.

Really frustrating to learn it could be days or even months before my Gigantic ships. I've heard horror stories of the seller taking up to a year or more to ship certain items. Mind you they're a small store in California with probably only a handful of employees but still.

That’s good and all but we REALLY don’t need a daily update on your shipping. Unless the truck was sucked up in a tornado, then you can share.

That's what he does; daily updates. Used to do it on the SH Monsterarts page. Now it's here.

That's a beautiful sight, but man all that money in one photo haha.

I have to agree with what some people are saying about the Regular Gigantic Shin looking better than the Ric. Not sure what it is about that purple paint but it just looks a bit off.
