Increased Optimus Prime Ex ES

Titanchuck · 09-10-2010, 07:10 PM

Dear Valued Collector,
Thank you for your pre-order of the Exclusive Optimus Prime Maquette, item #4000321. We are very excited about this collectible and have been overwhelmed by the collector feedback about this spectacular statue.

A good portion of the inquiries we have received have expressed disappointment that the edition size may be too low to allow a larger scope of collectors to be able to participate in owning this detailed maquette. We have to say that our staff vastly underestimated the fan base for this cool Optimus offering when we originally considered the edition size. Therefore, to accommodate a bit more of the demand for this amazing piece we have decided to increase the edition size from 100 to 150 pieces. We feel the 50 piece increase allows a few more collectors an opportunity to participate yet still keeps the edition at an amazingly low size.

We realize that this change may affect your initial desire to have this limited edition statue and as such we will gladly refund your -deposit of $240, if you decide to cancel your order with us.

Please contact me by Friday, September 17th if you wish to cancel your order. If I do not hear from you before that date, I will assume that you would like to keep your pre-order for the item.

Thank you for your understanding and please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.

Best regards,

Michael Tolentino

I'm still keeping mine

My guess is that they probably got about 75 people on the waitlist so they decided to increase 50, anticipating about 25 people canceling it.

Wow.... That the first..... Should I buy it now...... No

Micheal Bay wanted to buy 50 of these.

You might be right....if anyone is going out of their way to change the ES, it would be Michael Bay. He would say "put me in for 50 statue for my friends and actors or else I'm going to turn your company into a HD-DVD fiasco..."
