Published on a weekly basis, the Sideshow Newsletter offers a ton of amazing perks to subscribers! Not only do members get up-to-the-minute Sideshow news and first dibs on items offered up for Second Chance, but most of our AWESOME contests are only open to newsletter members. In fact, we suggest that you look in the Contest section of today's newsletter to find out if you are one of our weekly INSTANT WINNERS who have been randomly awarded a prize, simply for being a member! Plus, don't forget that you can read the Sideshow Newsletter online instead of waiting for it to arrive in your inboxes. Best of all, you can tailor your newsletter experience to your unique interests, although we highly suggest selecting ALL interests so that you won't ever miss any important Sideshow news!

We hope you all enjoyed our online coverage of Toy Fair 2007 as much as we enjoyed bring it to you! Throughout the four days of the show, we previewed and pre-ordered over 30 news products from a variety of licenses, including many with FLEXpay options to help ease the strain on our collectors' bank accounts. Plus, we featured daily Production Blog entries that took a closer look into the making of these high quality collectibles, launched a gallery of photos taken by Sideshow staff on the show floor, and hosted TONS of fun, sitewide contests! Toy Fair is now over, our staff in New York are on their way home, and online coverage has come to a close.

We have just received word that items being stocked into our European Union warehouse are being held at customs for approximately 4-6 days, which will cause delays in the final shipment of our latest products that have been sent over. Please allow more time between the receipt of final invoice and receipt of tracking information. Just as a reminder, due to our web restrictions the 'Shipped' status appears prematurely in our EU customers' online accounts. When you receive your invoice notification e-mail, Pre-Ordered (or Back-Ordered) items are actually in transit from our U.S. warehouse to our EU warehouse, and in-stock orders are being packed and labeled for shipment in the EU warehouse. We appreciate your understanding and patience![EU homepage]
During this year's Toy Fair, we featured 'Ask Sideshow' question and answer sessions, answered by Sideshow production staff on the show floor in NYC and uploaded daily to our Production Blog. Questions such as "What are your plans for the LOTR 12-inch and Premium Format lines?" and "Where are all the new Star Wars 12-inch figures?" were happily answered each day by those in the know at Sideshow! Follow the links for each day's session, and if your question did not get answered, it was due to the unexpectedly high volume of submissions. We will continue to answer as many inquiries as we can in future editions of 'Ask Sideshow' in our Production Blog, Newsletter, and Podcast![Ask SSC - February 11th][Ask SSC - February 12th][Ask SSC - February 13th][Ask SSC - February 14th]

This new wave of SAW life-size collectibles is different from the original, SOLD OUT edition.
