The weird thing is that they've given me a shipping quote already, and the email doesn't mention waitlist only - is that normal?

It just occured to me that maybe there won't be that many left because of how many they allowed for pre-order. I hope I'm wrong for those of you who didn't get one. I've been the Ebay route before and it's quite pricey!

Wow, that was a mad rush! At 8.59 (UK time) I refreshed the page and noticed a new image loading, as you can imagine I didn't give it time to load - clicked it, ordered it, now its mine! MAHA!
Good luck to those that didn't manage to get one, they'll probably have a few left over from the show so fingers crossed. I'd love it if everybody on this forum managed to get their hands on one, we are the die-hard collectors after all! lol

Hmm, that is weird. Is there a confirmation number? Or does it indicate that your credit card has been charged? Check and see if it is listed under "Your Account".

Am I the only one whose page had trouble loading? It never actually loaded, and I'd sat here for ages refreshing and refreshing. Must've been because so many people were on the site. So glad we had another workable computer!

So glad we had another workable computer! Computers & connections! When we need them the most they die on us, but you can leave them on all day and not have a single problem .

Aint that the truth! Many a time in the middle of getting ready to bid at the last minute on something on Ebay I've had that happen many a time!!
My pages were loading like molasses!! I have dial-up but it wasn't slow until the official time came and then once I clicked the "buy" button it took forever to go to the next page - and then you have to do the confirmation page next, or something like that and it was still as slow as molasses. I wasn't kidding when I said I was about to have a stroke. I think, though, that once you clicked the buy button you were probably already locked in that you either were in time (or not, if you were some of the unlucky ones who missed it by minutes).

I was a refresh-o-maniac! probably why I didn't ge through, should have just waited instead of hammering. It's listed as a reservation, so I wasn't lucky. I let everyone know if I do get one.

I didnt think I would get one but I did!! I had to call in to work and tell them I would be late but I had to have this figure. Good luck to anyone that is on the waiting list.

Well, they already have about 16 up over on Ebay. The prices are ranging for "Buy it Nows" between $79 and $199 with various amounts for shipping. And one of them the bidding is up to $41 on a non "Buy it now".
Maybe that's a good sign that there aren't a ton of them and that there will be some left over after the convention for those of you on the waiting list. Last year there were a whole bunch of the Angel ones but it's still early.

You'll get an email offering you a second chance to buy. This is how it went with Vamp Angel at least.

Apparently Werewolf Oz is selling pretty well and is almost sold out on Sideshow website:
Did the Vamp Angel ones sell out last year too?

I manage to get one off ebay for a decent price! 69.99 plus 9$ for shipping to Canada, it's actually better then sideshow offer itself...yes the figure would have been want 50$ but I would had to pay 35$ for shipping plus a 20$ for taxes from fedez so all in all I save 25$

Wow, it cost that much to ship it to Canada?!? Good thing you didn't get it directly from Sideshow! Congrats on getting such a great deal on Ebay!!

Good news! I'm definitely getting an Oz, Sideshow had some cancellations so I'm going to get one after all! Glad I didn't go the ebay route.

I'm getting one as well due to a cancellation. I can't wait to get this figure. It looks better than the original Oz figure.
It looks as though Oz, Werewolf Oz, Xander, and Origins Angel are all due to ship June/July/August. Hopefully they won't all ship together. Otherwise that will be really expensive for one month.

Thats great that cancellations are happening so soon, I hope they free up some more, I didn't notice when they had gone on sale and completly missed this.
When did you guys sign up for the waiting list? I didn't sign up until Jun 10th at 4am. I'm just wondering how many more people might be before me.
I just hope none of these ship in June. With Wesley/Lorne, Palz 2, Halloween Palz, Deluxe, Der Kindestod, and me choosing this Month to buy a new car I am beyond broke.

None of them should ship out before July because July is the third quarter. Still, if they all come in July that is going to be another expensive month because they did that with Willow, Vamp Spike and the two Prophecy Girl Buffy's! Werewolf Oz is definitely coming in July because they say that on their website. I'm assuming this means we may get Oz at the same time?
Buffyfannumerouno and ThisYearsGuy I'm so happy you're definitely getting one! Odoat, a lot of people signed up for the wait list the day they sold out (June 8th) so you might be down the list a ways.
