So as some of you may know, I have been a fan of Thanos, for a long time, buying just about anything he was on, while at first it wasn't much, the influx of items has been great but costly This is the crown jewel of my collection, when I first saw this statue advertised back in Oct. 2014, I was unsure if I would be able to get it, mainly due to the limited nature (999 pieces), the fact that the website does not ship to USA, or didn't back then, not sure if they have changed since and the very high cost. After doing some research, I found that the pre-order on my go to site, www.bbts.com would be happening in March of 2015, I waited and kept checking the website on the day the option was to go up, but it never happened, until I went to lunch and when I got back to work and it was sold out , but I stuck to checking every few days figuring that someone would cancel their pre-order due to the cost and finally while on vacation last month, I was able to get my pre-order in and 2 week later I finally had it. I need to get a proper case to display this beauty.

It came in 2 other boxes before getting to the main box, weighing in at just under 50 lbs.
I have never see a statue packed this well, 2 pre boxes, the main box shown above and then the strapped closed Styrofoam box
The first layer of pieces: the body, base and shoulder plates
2nd layer, 3 head options, 2 sets of arm, Infinity Gauntlet gauntlet options and 2 cosmic cubes
This is the first picture of the statue that I saw in 2014
And the link to what the real base looks like and the other piece options: xm-studios.com/thanos.aspx
The website also gets you this coin, but I bought mine off Ebay since it didn't come with the coin from the website I used.
