Earlier in the present day, we introduced the sale of our newest Mass Impact Shepard statue.

The way in which we introduced it didn’t convey that correctly, nor does it give the second within the collection the credit score it deserves.
Consequently, we’ll be pausing gross sales on the statue till we will share the bigger plan with you.
