Gee, I'm gone from the forum a few days and see what happens! :lol:

Such an awesome gesture from our Sensei! Congratulations Kyle!

I'll probably be interested in either a remarqued or AP edition. Hopefully I can get into the shop on time.

I know Kyle is helping for international orders, and a few others have already offered to assist, but I'd like to offer my services too if required. I can either order for you, or you can place the order yourself and have shipped to my address (and I will forward to you). PM me if interested.

This is why this place is the best. When there's a need, plenty of people immediately offer help. Not just in this particular instance, but I've seen it time and time again, and have been on the receiving end of offers to help me get stuff as well.

I've made many good friends through the forum and had the pleasure of meeting several of them in real life, with a couple more I'll meet next year. I'm certainly thankful for the people here and the super positive atmosphere of the forum.

As for the jabba fanclub, I'll take a page out of Groucho Marx's book and say "Please accept my resignation. I don’t want to belong to any club that would have me as a member." :P

Please do not spread any of this information, such as availability, pricing, etc. We will have to limit the number of units per order and change the pricing. There were more damaged boxes that we had anticipated.

We will honor the prices quoted earlier for Dojo members, but only for Dojo members.

And Kyle can still order as many as he need for members, though please get your orders in asap as the toys may sell out quickly.

Dear Stan,

Just to clarify, American dojo members (on this board) order directly through the stan sakai online store, correct? (Kyle is just handling orders for international dojo fans, correct?). Thanks, Maka

Yes, I'm only handling the international orders since Stan's shop isn't set up to handle those.

That is correct.

I will put some aside and reserve them for Dojo members who do not get their orders in when the store opens but I cannot hold them for more than a couple of days.

That is great news since I usually don't get a chance to get on the internet while at work. Depending on when they go up on the site, I might not get a chance to order until later in the weekend.

Back from my month in the wilderness (I go "no internet" except for email for all of NOvember every year) hopefully just in time! I totally want one of the AP ones and also one or two of the unsigned, basic model ones, if possible.

If that is way too greedy, then just the AP one. I want the other two least expensive ones for my two younger kiddos who have a ton of action figures that they play with all the time and really beat up. And, no doubt, Usagi is their favorite of all!

Right. Just spoke with Kyle and I now know that there is a 2 figure limit, which makes total sense.

So excited for this order!

Is an AP signed as well?

(I don't know what an Artist Proof really is outside of statues.)

Stan, is there any way to inform those of us who aren't entirely sure what the signed, remarqued and artist proof editions will comprise of exactly, to better inform our decisions?

Might it be possible to get some pictures before they go up on the website?

I understand if it isn't possible, but thought there wouldn't be any harm in asking.

Even if the breath between us smells of alcohol,
Call it confusion in the best way possible.

I know I'm not a regular poster on here (although I have lurked for a fair while!) but I would love to get an AP version and a standard unsigned version, and am UK based, if Jabba, or anyone else, is able to help out?

How can I refuse to help somebody with a Bone username? :wink:

I'll PM you.

Thanks for the example pictures Steve. Now, my question is, what's going on behind the package? :D
