Bruh, that video skips over when he threads it through tho lol. But okay, I’ll keep at it. Thank you.

Ah I see. Lol yeah I just pushed it in bit by bit making sure not to stab it through.

Just had another look at my figure...the thumb holes are on the opposite side of the sleeve, not even near his thumb!

Man, I wish I could leave the hat on full time.. I just feel like it’s going to ruin the rooted hair..

HyperDrive said:

Thanks for the quick response! Do you just stuff it into the hole, lol? And how long did it take? Are these too chunky?

I snapped one of these too. It took me about 30 mins of slow prodding to get a replacement through the staff, but that probably says more about my tweezer skills. Definitely not as easy as it looks in the video though…

Looks like Kit got his new (final?) batch, just got my invoice. Can't wait to finally get my hands on Gandalf

Also got my invoice holy **** it's been a journey honestly, can't freaking WAIT to get Gandalf! in ~30 days he'll be here

Me too from KGHobby. Although I am a moron and did not choose EMS at checkout so he is taking a slow slow boat from HK to the US. My wait has already been almost 20 days--it could be longer before I see him! Ugh.

How much was the other shipping option? Sometimes just getting your figure quickly is not worth it in my opinion. Overtime you save so much money.

Well, I finally got my invoice from Kit, so I'll see for myself fairly soon what this bad boy looks like in-hand.

I hope the quality of the workmanship from InArt has steady improved during the long wait rather than gone downhill, e.g., simply in a rush to get them all completed and shipped!

So mine is paid in full. Would that be a reason why I am not getting any kind of invoice or email from OSK? Maybe nothing to get until an email saying he’s shipped?

it was another $105 USD over their standard shipping for it to go EMS. It costed more, upwards of $200 for the faster options. It was crazy seeing that--so I have to temper my Gandalf excitement and stop seeing peoples awesome pics!

Just paid my invoice from Kit can’t wait

Yeah I’ve paid mine with Sugo and should have him in a few days.

I'm in the same boat, and that's what I'm assuming is going on.

I've been waiting so long that a few more days of uncertainty won't make a difference anyway though.

Are ALL remaining Gandalf order from OSK being processed (invoices sent and shipped)?
I ordered late July, one of the last ones...

Oh my god that's just... crazy brother sorry to hear that I'm really surprised by that price. Crazy. Is KGHobby your go to place? Maybe Kit would be more affordable?

Anyways, let's not forget, a wizard is never late!

"Anyways, let's not forget, a wizard is never late!" Love this haha -got a good laugh from this because its totally true.

Truth be told, I was a bozo on pre-ordering any InArt figures at the beginning--I felt like I needed to see more because they were a new company. I blew it on ordering Gandalf, and saw him pop up on KGH last month. Yes I paid premium price for him but he's worth it. I had previously ordered Pennywise from OSK and man, that unboxing was such an event, completely amazing at 1:6 scale! The quality was just so top notch--I had to go back for Gandalf no matter the cost!

There’s a part of me screaming, there’s something wrong. THERE’S SOMETHING WRONG!

Don't quote me but I believe InArt said that all the Gandalf orders have been dispatched to sellers, and I believe Kit confirmed it as well.

I had mine already paid as well back before I got mine in January. I just got an email from Kit that was for an order update, and it said my order #****** was updated to complete. Your Gandalf has shipped, and it had the tracking number.

He probably has a lot of orders in this last batch and still drops according to the invoice number, so you will probably get that email update in the next day or two.
