Those who have ordered, if you've not already done so, time to check your order history, if your payment has gone through it should now say 'approved' by it. But no sign yet of what number you're getting... owww exciting times.

Mine has gone through at last after that scary business with the payment failing.

It's being shipped early this week according to the email I got, so we've still got a few more months to wait.

EDIT: From the Facebook page

Romi Thirunamam ‎@First 4 Figures
When are the UK Exclusive statues shipping? You seem to answer a lot of comments on this facebook page but none relating to when the items are shipping to the UK.

First 4 Figures ‎@Romi
safely can say Wednesday, hopefully earlier. Sorry for the delay!

Curses! Beaten again! I'll get you next tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime!

Yeah, it doesn't seem like any trackign data is up yet. It says "due to be despatched" not "has been despatched". IIRC we had to wait a little for the Super Sonic shipping too. But it's Express 48, so it should be here by Thursday. Woo!

If I remember, didn't we have to do something odd in order to actually get the tracking info to show? It also showed us which number statue it was which is why we had the debate about "owww I want to be surprised vs 'I gots number ****!"

I think it might be a little early right now, but last time I'm sure we had to do something a little different than simply putting the code in to get it to appear.

[Blue Blood]

I think you might be right actually. Off to do some topic hunting.

EDIT: This page has the answer, seemingly. But I still can't get it to work.

EDIT 2: Ignore that. Go to this page and then C&P the tracking reference number from your email. I've got #49, which is the same number as Super Sonic. Woo!

[Hogfather]

I decided not to varify my last statue, since I wanted to be surprised... so lets see what number I have.

HOLY COW!

I got number 13! Owww spooky!

Currently sitting in the Cambridge depo. You know, if thats a sorting depo, we may actually get these tomorrow... it'll travel overnight to the regional depo, then go out in the morning... oh boy.

They'll probably be around soon. Checking the Super Sonic topic, my Super Sonic was at the same Cambridge depot one day and here the next. Really early in the morning too. Ooooh the excitement!

[JonoD]

Mine is also sitting at Cambridge! Colour me very excited...

My number isn't anywhere near as impressive as most (No 228), but who cares? Metal Sonic is finally going to be invading our homes soon! *boots up word and writes review opening*

[Super Soniko]

i'm going to take a wild stab and say mine's somewhere between 300-350 since i was late paying for mine xD

[SEGAMew]

So if you were to like.... put off putting in a pre-order until two days ago (and Authenticate my #202), what are the odds I'll get a Metal Sonic? <___<;;

i'd say your chances of getting 202 are low, but any other are fine.

[Blue Blood]

The chances of you getting the same number are slim, because units will have been shipped already and there's every chance someone else could have nabbed your number. Especially if you wanted an Exclusive one. All orders for it are being put on the wait list, so I'd guess there aren't going to be any left for such a late order. But the regular one's in stock no problem. You might not get the same number, but at least you can get the statue guaranteed.

How come you weren't able to put a pre-order in sooner?

[Swiss]

Ha. HAHAHA. I actually said with each statue, what if I got statue #09, my lucky number?

Well, Metal's obviously a lucky statue, since I'm getting #09!

Funny, because my super sonic exclusive is number #09.

<___<;; I'm not sure why I didn't put a preorder sooner.... oh yeah it was because I was in the middle of selling one of my 3 Super Sonics Exclusives, and didn't want to authenticate the one I'm selling.

After the sale was completed like 5 months later, I simply forgot about putting in the Metal Sonic preorder. (plus the price on the thing was well... pricier).

[Blue Blood]

... three Super Sonic exclusives? Bloody hell! Oh well. So long as you can get the regular one, right? They're always cheaper. Much cheaper in fact if you don't order direct from F4F.

[Super Soniko]

the exclusives are still up for order so SEGAmew is probably on about ordering one of those, not the standard one.

[Blue Blood]

Nah, orders for the exclusive one are going on the wait list. The wait list is when all of them have been claimed during the pre-order stage. So if someone who's placed a pre-order drops out, the first person on the wait list will get it instead. There's no chance of getting one now. The wait list will be too long.
