Understanding the status of products on our website can help you make informed purchasing decisions.

What’s difference between pre-order and In stock Statues?

Pre-order is for newest statue which is published but not start producing yet. Because of GK statues are mostly limited quantities, studio will only produce the amount that pre-ordered. Therefore, if you see a GK statue you like, you don’t want to wait until it start produce(end pre-order). The price will raise when it became “In Stock”.

“In Stock” statues are statues we stock in our local store. We would stock few great GK statues, but only a few, and we do sell it on a market-price which is mostly higher than pre-order price. Therefore, if you see a statue is already past the pre-order time but you still really want it. You could then choose a in stock purchasing.

The prices of products on the website do not include shipping costs. Shipping costs will be assessed based on the box size and weight of the product you order. When your order is placed, the product has not yet arrived at our warehouse, so we are unable to provide you with an accurate shipping cost. But don’t worry, I will give you a preliminary estimate of the shipping cost, but it is just a more or less estimate; finally, we will provide you with quotes for multiple shipping methods (including air/land/sea) for you to choose from .
